Crafters-in-Training

This past weekend was cold. Really cold. It was a weekend to stay indoors.

The girls thought that their American Girl dolls needed warmer clothing than what's in their closet (!). Thankfully, they had a plan. 

(Really, nothing warms my heart like my girls wanting to 'craft' together. Either #1. they're older OR #2. their mom has more patience than she used to Or #3. a bit of both!)

Cut the tips of the fingers off (on the mitten)

And added some decoration:

I'm pretty proud of them!
