They are too cute, Miriam. I don't get to see my grandkids very often. They are 1500 miles away. The DGD brought her family for a vacation with us around the 4th of July and I thought the 11 yr old GGD would like to sew a little. She did the paper, sewing on lines, etc. But, alas, I think the swimming, fishing and 4-wheeling was way more fun. Maybe next year she will have a little more desire for the machine. And the 4 yr old..... she's too busy........
