Well, I finally did it.
I broke down and bought Aubry her own sewing machine. We had purchased one for Christmas and it was a piece of junk, and recently we had the same experience with another kid's sewing machine. I couldn't take the look of disappointment on her face again, so I found a good-quality kid's machine on Target.com and I bought it. Just like that.
Have I ever mentioned that I almost never purchase anything spontaneously? I goes against my cheap/thrifty/tightwad nature, but somehow this purchase feels just fine.
Of course, she is already sewing like a pro. She catches on to things so fast. At this point I have two concerns:
1. She is going to sew over her finger (she is a bit speedy, if you ask me!)
2. She is going to take over my craft room. I can't believe how messy she is when she is making things. All of a sudden it is as if a small hurricane has blown through the room when she enters.
So far she has started working on our stockings for Christmas. They will be the most eclectic stockings that have ever graced our mantle.
And I like it that way!
