Summer breeding a different level of desperation to keep kids busy in constructive ways. I was racking my brain for a good project and decided to teach the kids how to sew. They really surprised me with how much they liked it and how well they did. Joshua stitched his "J" for a couple of house straight! They've all helped make their stitched front into a small pillow. And, Nathan has made three pillows so far! That includes using the sewing machine himself! We've set up a sewing "station" in the boys bedroom so that Nathan can do more during quiet time. He's still pretty sure he likes soccer better than sewing -- which I've reassured him doesn't disappoint me! :) But, fun to have a little project turn into a fun, time-filling thing!
