Crafternoon With Sweet Caroline
I taught Caroline how to make one of my layer flower brooches.
From gathering fabrics and cutting out templates for Caroline , to the back glued on took 2 hours and 50 minutes.
We had a lovely afternoon sewing and chatting.
Caroline makes me laugh!
Awhile back Caroline bought one of my brooches.
Her mother really liked it.
Caroline told her that she would like to make a few and days later Caroline's mama gave her
a velvet box with some of Caroline's great aunts old costume jewelry.

There are some very beautiful pieces in Caroline's collection.
Caroline and I gathered some cool ideas as we gathered fabric together to make brooches.
My favorite.
Caroline is also a borderline obsessive music fan.
Look what I just discovered inside the Flight of The Concords CD case.
Awesomeness.
It is going to hang in the 'Spot of Glory' for a bit.
Of course it had to be ironed.
Freya sang a song to us and herself all evening.
Freya sang a song to us and herself all evening.
It is for her kindergarten Christmas Spectacular (my words).
She sings:
Jesus is our brother
Kind and good
Friendly beast around the world
Jesus is our brother
Kind and good

Chris and I think the verse is really:
Jesus is our brother
Kind and good
Finally peace around the world
Jesus is our brother
Kind and good
...........................................................
We are not going to correct her.
I sure do love my silly family.
