My girls are constantly creating "projects". Up until now most have involved cardstock, markers, stickers, tape, staplers, and other various scrapbook supplies found in the craft area. The other day Anna came to me with a box of Kleenex and asked if she could use them. What kind of mother would refuse her child of a tissue? Certainly not me. I should have heeded the warning signs when she exited the room announcing "Hey Stella, we can start our project now".
Several days have passed since the tissue acquisition and I've thought nothing of it ~ until this afternoon. During my daily toxic waste clean-up of the girls' room, I spotted a stray Barbie doll laying on Stella's bed. Hmmm....the dress did not look familiar. Upon closer inspection I became VERY impressed.
The dress is made out of one Kleenex tissue and a standard-issue rubber band. I am now pulling the Hello Kitty sewing machine out of storage, loading thread bobbins, and going through the fabric collection on this rainy afternoon. There is no telling what other creations are floating around in those sisters' heads. Watch out Stella McCartney, Stella Sherrill may have her own line one day!
