This spring was another big sewing year for Marina. She wants to continue her sewing lessons. Next year Stella will be old enough to start a major sewing project. I had intended to have Marina over without Stella as we only have a small window to complete the outfit.
Stella made a loving card card for us with hearts and drawings, saying how much she “loves” to be at our home. Then Stella asked if she could come over when Marina sewed, and she promised to “just hangout” and let me give Marina sewing lessons without interruptions. She just melted our hearts. Of course asked Stella to come over.
Grandpa had a great idea. Since Stella is drawn to the piano, he would find a piano book for her and continue giving her lesson. This was a huge success. Stella is a determined student and has a real talent with the piano.
Marina and I started on her new sewing project. Last year she made a sleeveless dress. This year she choose a pattern that will include buttonholes, pants, cuffs, pockets, and require some work learning how to make it fit just right. A rather difficult and good learning project!

By the end of her project, Marina needed very little help from me. She is a patient and expert seamstress. And doesn’t she looks great in her new outfit!
Marina is happily modeling her outfit for Grandpa.
Stella spent many happy afternoons playing the piano and making beautiful jewelry.

Stella helped Grandpa hang our Grandchildren prayer flags in the garden. Note the bird on the fence post:
What a wonderful time all four of us had with each other and our projects!
