i'm
always posting my stuff..so i figured i'd add the kids as well (those
of you that also have kids should do this too! we can get ideas for the
kids as well as letting the kids see their stuff on the computer. i
know mine at least are very proud of seeing their creations online)
after
my bought of sewing stuffed kitties, maia decided to create something
entirely on her own. it's a mommy bear, complete with every body part
that's important (2 ears, 1 head, 1 body, 2 'hands', and 2 'feet and a
pocket with a baby) she's only five..and i'm rather impressed

she was trying to simultaneously blow a bubble gum bubble for the pic, so that's why the pursed lips

tristyn
saw her creation and being of the sort that prefers quick
gratification, constructed a sneaky snake. once again the 'design' was
entirely his own =)

several
hours went into the bear over the course of a few days and about 2
hours went into the snake over 2 days. i must say i was rather
surprised the one day to wake up at 7 am to find tristyn downstairs
working on his snake. only one minor mishap was when the dogs chewed
one of its eyes off! luckily we found one last button and tristyn
re-sewed that.
this morning, when trying to get back in my good graces maia made me some flowers:
