I am not a red lover.  But I just realized I made a lot of red things since yesterday.

First there was a red magic wand

My four year old decided that she couldn’t be a fairy without a magic wand. I think she is absolutely right, what kind of self respecting fairy doesn’t have a magic wand? So a magic wand she got.

Then today we decided to make some bunting with her name on it. Out came the red felt, it was the only color I had enough of to make the flags.

She helped with the cutting and the sewing. I held the fabric and she pressed the foot pedal thingy. Stopping when I yelled stop and going when I yelled go go go. It was a lot of fun.

Then she decided that she was a ballerina and she needed ballet slippers. And she is absolutely correct, what kind of self-respecting ballerina does not have ballet slippers? Since she is only four, and quite imaginative she totally bought the idea of red crochet slippers as ballet slippers.

Super bulky yarn, a size 7 mm hook and an hour later she was happily prancing in the living room in her tutu pretending to be a prima Donna.
