Elizabeth George got me started on the Five Fat Files. It's nothing more than gathering info -- in one place -- on those subjects you're always coming back to. For a long time, especially during grad school, my files were mainly theological subjects. Now that I'm a wife and mom, they're a little more... practical.
A new one for me is SEWING. My daughters are constantly asking (a.k.a begging) to sew. A few of their favorite people - Mary and Laura Ingalls, Samantha Parker and Nellie O'Malley (American Girl Dolls) - are always working on their "samplers." At four and six, there's not a whole lot my girls can manage on their own. We've done all the projects for little hands we can find at Michael's. We've even unearthed my Tiny Tailor a few times and tried to remember how to thread it.
We think we're ready for the big leagues. Inspired by all the projects going on at Elizabeth's -- not to mention the amazing fabric they're using -- we're going to buy a real sewing machine.
Hopefully, soon we'll be posting a few projects!
