If you’ve been watching the Review section of my left side bar you already know several of the things that we have been working on here in the Olive household. We were blessed to receive the Sense and Sensibility pattern for the girls Edwardian apron last week. I finished this apron for Sadie this afternoon.
Jennie also sent us the eClass for the apron, so our older girls are making one for themselves and I will be telling you about their experiences with the pattern and the class as well.
The children have also been testing some fun, new toys from Pioneer Pastimes. They offer several different toys and the children have spent hours playing with them and just can’t seem to get enough. Simple, elegantly made toys, what more could a mom or kid want?
In related news, today Alyssa (8) designed her fist web page using HTML. That is something that I have never done before! Alyssa is testing out Web Design for Kids and so far it has been easy for her (and me) to follow. The other children can’t wait to try it out and Matthew is promising a web page all about Guinea Pigs.

You did a great job on the apron. I declined this review since I only have sons but am thinking about getting the adult-size for me. I really like their patterns.

Love the apron!! I made an apron for myself a few weeks back and have yet to wear it. I didn’t have a pattern and it shows!
This would be an awesome apron to have for our girls. They would love it.
Great job!

We are working on our fourth apron from this pattern. We love it. I will write a full review when our two oldest girls finish their aprons and include pictures, but the bottom line is, I would highly recommend this pattern and eClass.
Dawn,
I am hoping to get the adult pattern for myself. I have really enjoyed working on these with the girls and I know that I would use this apron.
Blessings,
Kimberly
