wait for it...
SEWING!!
Here's the proof:
Did he really just ask me whether he can make his own "five block" quilt? Am I raising a pionerd?
Should I start a sweat shop on Bruce Street? These are the questions I have.
My children were actually just fighting over the machine - for once it's not the computer or the telly. I am so happy that they are interested in sewing that I don't even care that they're fighting.
My husband just asked the kids if they wanted to watch a movie. Actual response from Nathaniel: "No, you guys watch Legend, I'll just sew". I cracked up.
I think I know why he's interested. Today, I finished up my "Elvis is Everything" quilt for my son's kindergarten teacher, the vivacious and sparkly Mme. Dona. Don't tell her that we used to call her Mme. Donut (she looks nothing like a donut, she is just fun! I am fondly remembering my grade ten math teacher right now, aka Clayface). Mme Dona is an Elvis junky. She had an Elvis impersonator at her retirement party and she was also "lei-ed" (her words - don't get the wrong idea!) by an Elvis impersonator on an Elvis cruise to Hawaii.
Nathaniel saw the finished quilt and was inspired. Well, I think he was inspired.
I think this quilt is a bit on the crazy side - just like Elvophiles. No disrespect intended.
So the boy was into the quilt and now he wants to create his own masterpiece.
Sew on, lad, sew on!
