Yeah, pulled out the card to check, $45.26. Now I have a list, and am headed there on my way home from work.

That will leave us with Joann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, WalMart (some of the stores), and some specialty shops here.

GOOD NEWS is that the 5 year old granddaughter may be interested in learning to sew, and she seems to have an appreciation of the feel of fabrics.

I remember the torturous boredom trying to entertain myself while my mother went through all the catalogs. I was maybe 5, and she would make most of my clothes, and matching clothes for my dolls. I look at those little tiny dresses and marvel at the craftsmanship even on those tiny clothes. My favorite doll was 12" tall and my mother made us matching reversible dress jackets. Red inside, B&W Houndstooth outside, with rhinestone buttons. The smaller the clothes get, the harder to turn them right-side out. She must have had some serious patience to use a normal sewing foot on such tiny clothes.
