Talented Toddler

Well, I thought I was going write a little about needle-felting, what it is and where it comes from, but maybe next time. Today, I just want to mention that my little guy is learning how to needle-felt, all on his own. This morning, I took the compost out (by myself! Thirty seconds of quiet! Yesss!), leaving the little person in the house with his dad. When I got back, I was met by a toddler bearing gifts - namely, my needle-felting pad, with my current project, and, of course, the needle. Taking a closer look, I noticed a series of little holes where none had been before, evidence that someone had been testing the skills he's been watching Mama demonstrate so often lately. Well, no harm done - the needle was in one piece, and so were his little fingers. Whew!
