My
group of girls is coming over again this afternoon. We're going to
work on developing their sewing kits further. I haven't decided
whether to make sewing baskets or or to make slip-sleeves and necklaces
for the rainbow-handled embroidery scissors I'm giving them. Hm.
At our last activity, we learned all about bike care. Girl power!
We
learned how to make sure our tires have the proper air pressure, how to
fix a flat, replace a tube, adjust the chain, and so on. Isaac was our
guest expert. He was big into cycling when I met him and has built
bikes from the ground up.
If you're looking for something to do with/teach a gaggle of girls, try bike care lessons. The girls were totally into it.
Too cool!!
Awesome idea. And I love the bikes. 🙂
I love the first photo!
My girls would have totally been into it too.
I’m jealous of the young one in flip flops. We just got 5″ more of snow yesterday. I long for flip flops.
Brilliant. Every girl needs to know how to care for her bike and her car. Way to empower them! I too am jealous of the flip flops. Baby it’s cold here!
I am totally doing this with my girls in the next few months. It is so empowering to be able to fix your own bike.
ummm, you should post all of your activities…to um, help others? thanks.
Mine are coming over and my partner is going to do sugar scrub facials for them. (she’s a professional)
Bike care, that’s a great idea.
Your girls must love you to bits, what great activities you’re organising for them.
I love the sound of the rainbow handled embroidery scissors. Could we have a piccie please?
Enjoy your afternoon. 🙂
I wish I knew how to replace a tube! Pretty sure my jogging stroller needs it!
The mere thought of flip flops is dreamy as I sit here on the East Coast absolutely buried under snow!
What a great idea! I’m totally coveting that orange bicycle in the background! So pretty!
My husband has tried many times to give me those lessons! Somehow they never sink in. Oh, I know why, because he never lets me do it anyway! I’m a learn by doing girl.
Great idea – at least it will be, when spring arrives. I invite you to enter my Valentine giveaway. You could win a pink, bead-knitted purse, hand-knit by me, with a chocolate bar charm.
S.W.A.K.
That’s so cool!
Who has that awesome orange bike? I want it!
хороший сайт, однозачно в закладки http://googlist.ru редко встречается полезная информация
I wish I were one of your girls. By the way, I made a skirt with one of your fabrics for my best friends two year old and I am in LOVE with it. I just find myself staring at the remnants. Your fabric designs are so pretty.
Love it!
I love this idea!!!
I would so need that kind of lesson. I think my girlfriends would be all for it too. Thanks for the idea! I’ll bookmark this for next summer:) (Since right now it’s -4 F outside, and very very snowy!)
“Girl Power!” So awesome! Love the pictures. What fun you must have!
So fun! Have a great time!
cool…
I know you are already an idol ;
but I would like to come to my giveaway,please.
Thanks.
hugs

I loved the blog! everything here is inspiring. a sweet kiss to the zucchini and Brazil. ‘ll link to come back more often!
Ok first time to your blog. Love it. Question though. On the Nicey Jane post where could I find the pattern to those dresses and what song is on that video? I sure hope my local fabric store has some of those fabrics love themÜ
I really enjoy the photographs you post — you have a great eye. Would you ever consider a post on photo tips? I would love to learn some of your tips and tricks for such beautiful picture-taking…
I want that orange bike!!
Nice Post and nice Idea with bikes…
