Miss Nine worked on a weaving project today. We bought this little loom online from JoAnn Fabrics. She was a bit frustrated with it at first but she got the hang of it pretty quickly. She has already made many potholders with a square loom, the kind that you put the cotton loops on and then struggle to weave more loops through them. She sold some of those potholders in our pool store a couple of years ago. Most of them were more like coasters, but the customers loved them. This new loom is a little more like weaving on a large one. She plans to make a playmat for her baby doll Everly. She figures this will require three panels that she will sew together. I figure this will keep her occupied for several days. I have three larger looms that she can try out when she is finished with this project.
She also decided that she wanted to do a photoshoot with her baby doll today. She had definite ideas about how this should go. She carefully planned Everly's outfit, agonizing over which hat and playsuit she should wear. We went for a walk to Dairy Queen and on the way she chose several backgrounds and interesting places to pose her. Miss Nine was the lead photographer. It felt like we were staging graduation pictures.
She is so clever. 😍
