Handmade {by Ella}

Thank you to so many of you who have asked about our health. We are all much better! I did get sick last week for two days, but had none of the feverish symptoms the rest of the fam had... just the respiratory stuff. But I feel great now! Thank you for your prayers!

Now, more handmade items...


i just think this is so cute i can barely stand it.

the pattern

the cutting

as for what she's making?
(why, a little dress for her doll, of course!)

and, another day... a "welcome home daddy" sign, so carefully drawn.
just because.

  4. What a little sweetie! Have you considered carefully removing the tape on your "quilt" and stitching those pieces together to preserve it? Too cute.

  5. What a sweet and creative girl you are blessed with! Glad you're all feeling better. I might steal your handmade idea and post a few recent creations one of these days too. :> If you don't mind, that is!

  7. A quilt? Seriously! A pattern and a dress! The creativity that runs through through your house is amazing! Ava is going to spend a LOT of time learning from you guys! 'cause I want her to learn these things too. I love it Stace!
    Oh and Luke was "reading" over my shoulder and asked about the money purse! He really like's it. Tell Ella, K?

  8. Wow! That is so great that Ella is so crafty and you guys get to share in that together.

    The pattern she made for her doll reminds me of the dress Molly Ringwald designed in "Pretty In Pink." I wonder which Hollister boy will serve as Ella's "Duckie"?

    I can't wait to be crafty with my own daughter someday. And with Ava Ruth, of course!

  10. This is great. I love that you're posting the kids' projects. They get all their generosity, craftiness, and creativity from you.

    And... thank you again, Ella for that wonderful sign you made me. I still look at it every day and am thankful that I am so loved by my sweet girl.
