Sewing Helper

So I've been sewing quite a bit lately (making gifts, mending a few articles of clothing, putting in some curtains, etc.)...well, I must say, Carter is QUITE the little helper when it comes to sewing.

Ok, scratch that, he's not. He yanks on the fabric, tugs on my ironing board, and LOVES to push on the sewing machine pedal. So the majority of my sewing time is during his sleeping hours...

However, while he's up, I let him play with my sewing machine case for as long as he wants. It's pretty cute to watch him scoot it all around the living room:
And play with the little non-slip grid pattern inside the bottom of the case (so the sewing machine stays put):And try to fit the top onto the bottom:
(And if you click on the above picture, you'll see that Carter managed to whack himself in the face with a toy at school...couple fun bruises to go with that whacking - below is a close up)
Anyway, back to testing out the integrity of the bottom of the cover:
"Yep, Mommy, it'll hold me just fine!"
And so once he realized that it made a fantastic little boat, he sits in it all the time now:
And smiles that goofy Greenie grin pretty much every time:

Yep, that'sa my little helper!
