On Sunday I decided it was time I spent a little quality time with Julian as he seems to be overlooked sometimes, being in the middle. Anyway, I asked him what he wanted to do and he said he wanted to sew. Yes, you heard right, my gun toting/crimefighting/karate kid son wanted to sit down and sew. I wasn't entirely sure what would be appropriate, and in the end I set him up with some cloth and embroidery thread and with the help of me and his big sister, he made this:-
Admittedly he ended up doing big stitches - because 'it goes faster then' - but I think the result is quite gorgeous.
Emily has been busy too - making this:

It's a little elf's shoe made out of white felt and hand embroidered - isn't she clever too!
And at school she made this rather cute elephant cd holder in tech.

Oooh! If only I had a blog to join in! Oh well, no doubt I'll be participating in some small way in the process anyway ;)
Love Julian's stocking, by the way. And Em's CD rack is gorgeous! Do you think she could duplicate that at home by any chance? Cos Christmas is looming, and I need somewhere to put all my CD's...

I love the stocking! ~ a very special keepsake to treasure. The little elf shoe is so sweet & what gorgeous embroidery! Not to mention the cd rack! ~ I'd like put in an order for one pleased Emily! :O)
clever boy, that stocking looks great! and i'm loving that elephant cd rack, very retro!
Don't boys just melt your heart when they come from left field like that. Mine loves to pull the embroidery thread through while sitting on my knee. He is 10! LOL
I love the shoe that Emily made, great job! Enjoy your talanted children!
Gosh gurl! you are doing so well crafting ~ yourself and looks like the kids follow you in that sense. Been reading your older posts and absolutely love the way you described that blogging has widen our own horizons and outlook on life in general and the inhibitants of this lovely blue planet we are living in! And I found you at Mirre's blog!
What creative children you have!
Aren't they lucky to have been born with that gene!
I love all the pieces - but I reckon those elephant shelves would be great in a kid's room for books - I reckon people would buy those.
