being crafty

Sometimes it's hard finding things Corrie can "help" with (as the video from below shows... yikes! We still get a little nervous when she practices cutting. And why must she cut things so small?! Fortunately, no major accidents yet with her fingers. Besides little pieces of paper everywhere we do have one small cut on the edge of our quilt that she did. The scissors had to go away for a little while after that.)

She is always wanting to "help". Help washing dishes, any kind of squirting to clean windows, dusting furniture, she even got in the tub and helped "scrub" it the other day. So I found some foam beads and a child friendly needle and we made a necklace today. Here are some pictures...

stringing the beads...

some projects you just have to stand up for...

"take my picture, mommy."

(sorry for the not-so-great "after" picture, smile.)
