Sewing

Owen has been asking for a while to crochet and sew. I've tried crocheting with him, and he's just not ready, not even for finger crocheting. On a recent trip to Joanne's Fabrics, I found a little kit in the $1 bin to make a felt mobile. Owen worked on it for over a week and made every stitch himself while I held the pieces and reminded him to put the needle into the next pre-punched hole and re-threaded the needle lots and lots of times. He was thrilled when he found out there was a little plastic needle for him to use!

I strung them all together, and now they are hanging on the glass door in the dining room.
