Hedgie

Last week we had a pile of felt for the girls to play and sew with. The boys got in on the act a little too...so did I. I had seen a little pincushion on one of the blogs that I visit and it was so adorable that I decided I needed to make a little Valentine's gift for my mother-in-law. In her favorite color. RED.

Joshua also made a little hedgehog pincushion. He sewed one up in his favorite color. Orange. He did not add the pins because, he says, "it is a baby hedgehog and it didn't grow its prickles yet". His little hedgehog "Pokey" has now a small green felt sleeping bag and a little blue pillow.

Sometimes creating something doesn't take long but is just what is needed to feel a bit of joy and creative contentment.

...for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
