Daisy

Thursday morning after Ethan left for school, Madeline turned to me and said, "Mommy, I want you to sew me a new dolly today.  Come on Mom, let's go look at the book and I'll pick the one I want, okay?"  I was laughing at this and figured that looking through my Wee Wonderfuls Doll book sounded more appealing than playing Strawberry Shortcake anyway, so down we went.  I was trying to convince her that I probably couldn't make a doll TODAY because I might not have the right fabric and such, but she was pretty set on it.  

We looked through the book, she picked her favorite doll, and then we started going through fabric.  Turns out I had all the fabrics to make it and so I had no excuse.  She sat with me and picked it all out, helped trace the pattern pieces, handed me pins, and helped stuff the doll.  And there you go, meet Daisy (also named by Madeline):

 I think she turned out pretty cute.  It's totally not my style to sew something so spur of the moment, especially when I have all these self-made plans of things I think I need to do before the baby comes.  But it was really fun, and it made Miss Madeline oh so happy.
