This took place a few months ago.
Little Monkey wanted to help me make a skirt out of her naughty jumper. Oh yes,
a jumper that would not fit over your child’s head is naughty and the only suitable
punishment I can think of is to make a skirt out of it. 10 minutes project… if
you are alone! I thought if I let Little Monkey play with my threads, this
might entertain her long enough for me to finish the project. This technique
worked, however it took me just about forever to de-tangle all my cottons.
A little while ago I just had to
make her a new skirt. Little Monkey came into the sewing room with me. It was
soon after I bought my overlocker. I blinked, and she changed just about every
setting. I swear salespeople at the store I bought it from were not as
confident with it as my little person. Thank God for manuals is all I could say
about that experience.
Yesterday Little Monkey didn’t
feel like sleeping again. For the second time this week (ouch). When she doesn’t
sleep, I still give her an opportunity to rest. So while she was busy playing
in bed, I thought I would quickly finish making an elephant softie. Little Monkey
came in just as I finished stitching. She was most curious about what I was
doing. I thought we could try and stuff the elephant together. This little
experiment did not go wrong. Watching her little fingers push fluffy hobby fill
into a small opening was just precious.
I was so proud of my little girl!
Do you sew while your little people
are up? How do you make it work?
Awe that is so cute, I can remember helping my mum do that with rag dolls at about the same age.
ReplyDeleteOoo it's a bit of a shock when they give up the daytime sleep though, a sure sign they're growing up fast.
Oh so she may remember helping me :D She still sleeps most days, but she will give up day time sleep one day :) Hopefully not too soon though!
