Her teacher laughed when she told them at 'Show and Tell' that she made this necklace "in the night." (She is so my daughter). Life is all about treasure at the moment, sorting it, making little bags for it out of knotted handkerchieves and folded paper, digging for it, hiding it, sorting it in special boxes, making it from beads and clay and glitter. Her 'treasure bag' the very first time she used the sewing machine on her own ("nearly all by myself"). We sewed the last seam together, putting one handle end at the front and one at the back so it sits comfortably on the hip and can be taken out foraging. Its blue flowery lining was a baby dress she was wearing what seems like not so very long ago.
