thinking inside the box?

Yesterday, Michelle and I spent our first day of April vacation sorting through 100's of yards of fabric. As we would unwrap a bolt or open a new box, we would yell "supplies!" and in they would run in their little Spice Girl dress ups clothes, gathering the items like little woodland animals. Off they would hurry, giggling their little heads off and conjuring up their own new designs between themselves. They spent the entire day creating handmade outfits and playing in the big boxes! Who needs big expensive toys, give them fabric scraps, cardboard and oodles of cute imagination! We love you cutie pies!!!

Madeleine was a little baldy as a baby and toddler so I was always on the lookout for unique and fancy hats for her sweet little head. She soon become known in the neighborhood as "the hat girl".
