Anna worked with her flower press today she had some flowers she pressed a few months ago and she worked on making a scrapbook for them. She did a great job it surprises me how independent she is becoming. She worked all by herself on this and enjoyed the cutting and glueing. I am learning that it is good to sit back and let her work alone being an Artist myself I find that if I don’t do this I tend to want to get over involved in her projects it is just my natural desire to be creative. But then she ends up not being able to express herself freely and completely developing those gifts God has given her. Don’t get me wrong we definately will still be doing lots of stuff together Anna and I love using our creative gifts but today it was nice to stand aside and watch her work and see her develop the talents God has given her.
It is definately something I think about daily and with purpose. How to dress my daughter modestly and in a way that would be pleasing to God. These days Anna is usually wearing Hanna Andersson Clothing. Their clothing comes in a wonderful variety it is modest, feminine, and most of it is in organic cotton and the dresses almost always have matching leggings or shorts that you can where underneath. And they make nice underwear that is modest as well. Making them Modest and practical and really cute. I love to sew but the fabric nowadays is not good quality the cottons are thin and cheap I find after a few washes they look ragged. I have found also that you can find Hannas on Ebay for cheap although the store has been having great sales. Another benefit is that they last forever the dress Anna is wearing in the picture below is 2 years old. still fits and still looks good. I think as far as clothing goes right now Hanna’s are the best deal for your money!

Whats the hurry ??~Anna take your time ~the world and all it’s problems is just around the corner ~It will be here soon enough …. but for now lets play!!
