Whir, whir, whizzzz, thats the sound of a six year old on her new birthday sewing machine......happy as a clam! (notice the bowl of bunny crackers she helped herself to....gotta have something to munch on while you sew away) 
Lookie what my girlie made! Yep, she made the purty hearts all by herself. She got her first, brand new sewing machine at the early age of six. Pretty good, eh? Poor thing, she's watched her momma sew almost everyday of her life, so she has picked up lots on her own. So far we have hearts..........
.............and a fresh new line of little purses!
She says she's gonna set up an etsy shop. *wink, wink*
"Here's one I made for my little sissy, who loves blue!"
See how much she loves to swing her new purse!
"Look, here's my own purse!" "I picked the colors out all by myself."

heart melting! this is way too cute and special! i love the hearts and purses both--and the mention of an etsy shop. too funny!
Oh they're gorgeous! What a clever girl. That must have made you so happy seeing her sitting there sewing away on her own machine. I think we are going to do the same for my daughter's 7th birthday, as she loves using mine.
Thank you so much for all your lovely, lovely comments on my blog, by the way! x
You must be so proud. That is so sweet. Imagine what she'll be making at 16.
Love it! She has a good sense of color and style too!
I think this is so wonderful! What a great gift for her, not only the machine but the world of creativity it will inspire. Please tell her how much I've enjoyed seeing her pretty sewing projects. I wish her a very happy and adventurous birthday!
Oh how fabulous :)
Ahhhh - Laurie she did such a great job! Soooo cute! Your girl is VERY lucky (and blessed) to have you for a Mommy!

This is too cute. Lily would LOVE to have her own machine. What a sweet mom.
Very nice work indeed! Great job..a designer in the making! How wonderful she has her own machine at six!

Okay, I'm dying to know which sewing machine you bought for your daughter. I plan to get one for my daughter for her 7th birthday. I do not have a lot of time to research because I'm very tired pregnant w/my 5th baby due august. Thanks SO much for your reply!
tbsamg,
I'd love to email you, but you didn't leave an email link or anything, so i'll just write it here. We got it at Target. It's a Singer: Prelude. It is regularly $89, but we got it on special for 79! It is really a great machine and a awesome deal for your money! Even I love it! It is not a kid machine, but definitely kid friendly with help. It comes with a very informative DVD which we showed and explained to our daughter. She is going to town on the thing everyday! A great babysitter. LOL~ Good luck! Check for online promotions for Target, ie: 10% off promotion codes, free shipping, etc....
I can't wait to buy little girls their first machines as well!
She is on her way.... :)
Oh how sweet. I just came over from Anna Maria. I love the hearts your daughter sewed. I am having a Valentines Day party at
myjourneyback-thejourneyback.blogspot.com
Your precious photo would be so sweet to add to my party. Come visit me.
OMG! Your little girl has done such a gorgeous job! I'm hoping she can teach me how to sew? Beautiful work!
just found your via our friend miss Jennifer paganelli,
this is soo cute! I remember when I first learned how to sew. I am still not that great but love the process.
She did a great job!
Ellen
Hooray! She rocks!!
I can' t wait for my girls to be old enough to use a real sewing machine!
Thank you so, so much for all your lovely, lovely comments this evening - they mean a lot and you are a complete treasure...yes, what a shame to be so far away! Loved hearing about your little girl and will tell mine in the morning! Why am I commenting on this particular post?...because I've just noticed something really odd, that's why! The table that your girlie is sitting at...that's the same table mine sits at! We bought it from Ikea about five years ago and we've sprayed ours that exact shade of pink!!!! Have fun purse-making. x
Florence,
You are so right! IKEA table it is! In a peachy pink. :) Our girls would have fun together indeed! ~
What a precious time. I remember the first ones lexi sewed and it is all so sweet. She is one lucky girl to have a smart and crafty mommy. I enjoy your blog so much. :)
This is one of the cutest blogs I've ever read. My daughter is four, and I was just thinking to myself "At what age should she start sewing??" I know she'd love to do it... she's always right by my side.
