A few clothes needed mending -- including a pair of leotards with a picture of a bear on the bottom (get it? Bear-bottom!!). I set to work darning the toe and heel on the leotards only to discover that the other toe needed repairs also. 'I am surely crazy to waste my time on this,' I thought, as I started into the second toe. Except I was watching the Olympics and the handsewing was relaxing. This morning, though, as I sat at the kitchen table going over Sunday's service one last time, J ran up beside me, clutching the bear leotards in her hand, her face one big smile. Indeed, yes, the time spent extending the life of those leotards was well worth it.

Now that is the sort of reward for mending and alterations I could cope with! I love the new-to-her clothes photograph.
J looks so cute in her dress,when my kids were small they used to love clothes handed down by their older cousins.
J looks stunning in her new clothes! I love her excitement about things.
