Thank you GuineaPigFun and Bugs Mom! It's always nice to be back home. I think T-Patch was really happy to, soon as he heard my voice he started wheeking and waiting for me to come see him. I simply had to come see him before his ears flew him across the room. T-Patch is a ear flapping wheeker. :)
Vin's read this earlier and said, "Kathy is teasing me about kitties ... she didn't put a picture up!" I just giggled.
New Guinea Mom and others who are not familiar with Vinson, he is my son.
Vinson took a interest in sewing simpler things like Pillows, Pillow Pockets, Pads, and doing one larger special project, a blanket, that gets auctioned.
He started this when he was 9years old, this year he is now 12. Each year he has learned a little more and tries to (learn) help me with more things, today he's been helping me with Hammocks. It is nice being able to give him a summer time activity that he enjoys, challenging and giving him new skills. He does keep the money from things he made and has proved himself very responsible in that aspect. Although I still refuse to let him buy video games with it. I'm just a meanie.
Vinson's page is titled
Child's Play. Their is not anything new up yet but his 2008 blanket is still posted at the moment on the bottom of his page if you'd like to see his handy work. There is also a page in the "Samples of Previously Made" that has a few of his other things. Some things I have helped with like embroidery in the past, usually I just stand aside, guide, and watch though. I got a feeling I'll be doing even less this year, he's on a role already!
