If You Give a Girl a Needle

She might design a purse!

Because of our Charlotte Mason style homeschool, I’ve encouraged handicrafts such as sewing, crocheting and knitting from the very beginning.  I’ve enlisted the help of a 90+ year old neighbor, a grandmother and a 4-H sewing class – for, you see, I’m not good at any of these skills!

Mahayla had a friend over not too long ago and they spent the entire afternoon designing adorable purses.  What a pleasure to know the gentle encouragement handicrafting has provided not only skills, but pleasure as well.
