voila!



So, in my effort to be a more fun and interactive mama, I taught the kids how to use the sewing machine today! All they were ready to use is the pedal, so I "steered" the fabric, but Noodle did the stuffing and I showed her how to stitch the opening closed by hand. It was a lot of fun, and they enjoyed picking out their own fabric and using the rotary cutter. Amazingly, Spud didn't slice anyone in his efforts.





And, stealing an idea from my friend Andrea, today I'm grateful for cleaning up the playroom with the assistance of obliging hand puppets.
