This past Thursday, we had the same Girl Talk session as we had before our field trip with the other set of girls. as a few weeks
prior on friendship. This went really well and everyone was contributing to the conversation.
We followed up with our cookies project where we decorate a cookie to represent what friendship means. Everyone loves food! And what's not to like when it comes to neon-colored frosting? Some of the girls were really creative (and playful) with their designs and explanations. One little sister said that her mound of icing represented friendship and all of the sprinkles were her
friends working together.
During the art making portion we planned and cut out our
pieces for our appliqued pillow. This is usually one of the most popular
projects during SOHO. Basically the girls get to create big pillow for their room with designs that describe them appliqued on.
It's also one of their biggest sewing projects so the girls learn how to use sewing machines and work together with their big sisters to learn the ins and outs of sewing! Thanks to U-Fab again for their sponsorship - we have especially great pillows this year!
It's a lot of fun to see the project take shape over time and to see everyone's excitement as it comes together. There are many steps in this project, so the workroom was wonderfully chaotic with drawing, cutting, placing, ironing, and talking. Some people
were able to start practicing their sewing!
