Handy Girl and Handmade


Lydia and Ben installed a new garbage disposal one evening while I was out. Ben is good at having Lydia "help" him and getting her involved in projects...especially while doing things I would not think that she would be interested in...but of course she is very interested and "helps" a lot.

I made this dress for Lydia. My mom bought this patter for her last fall and we bought the fabric a few weeks ago and I made it! My mom helped me and taught me a lot of tricks, but I can say that I made her this dress. It is her Easter/spring dress.

Margaret makes a dress and gets all sorts of props. Lydia installs a garbage disposal and nobody even notices. See if she does anymore home improvement projects!
