How To Sew A Horse- WHAT????

You remember yesterday
we talked about the 
Horse Whisperer?
ahhhh...Robert Redford.......
Well, You can't have him
because I saw him first!
Anyway....
 I seem to have a
Horse Theme
running through my head.

You know, not every little boy
will grow up to be a 
Robert Redford.
Some men might not have women
swooning at their feet
and doing their menial things
like sewing on buttons.
Knowing that~ I figure it is 
never to early to start teaching
little boys basic skills.
Here is a quick tutorial for you.

Let me tell you- getting a picture
of this kid is like trying to photograph
the wind- He runs when he sees the 
camera and 
NEVER STOPS MOVING!


No shirts and buttons for this boy.
Nope!
He is sewing something else.
Something only a boy would sew!
Whatcha working on there, BigBoyE?
shhhhh...Nana...Be quiet......
Well,what are you sewing?
shhhhh....Nana....Don't look at me!
Okay...but can I see what 
you are sewing?
Well, aren't you just the cutest little
horse's butt sewer 
I have ever seen?
How's the sewing going?
Shhhhh....Nana.....I am NOT
sewing anymore-I am playing with
THE MONKEY BOX!
Yeah...and speaking of monkeys...
I say-
I think I see a 
MONKEY HOLDING a monkey box.
shhhhhhh....Nana...I'm not
talking to you!

Hmmm.....you and MyHero have 
more in common than I thought.
He's not speaking to me either
but that involves an 
ICE RINK and THAT 
is a story for tomorrow.
Maybe we'll be talking by then...
or....maybe not...

ps- I don't think the little charmer
above will ever have to sew on
his own buttons!;>)

    True, he may never sew on his own buttons, but it looks like he takes his job of sewing very seriously! I loved those little sewing cards when I was a kid. I didn't even know they still existed!

    I think it's good for boys to know how to do it all! And sewing can be fun...well, maybe not as much fun as a monkey box! lol

    I agree; he will probably be building something with wires. It is good finger skills.

    Big Boy E is sooooo cute! Surely he will never have to worry with sewing on his own buttons.
    And you can have that Robert Redford. Why you would want him, I'll never know - but as far as I'm concerned he's all yours.

    He is just too cute. I love that he is playing with something a bit "old-fashioned" as I remember sewing cards from when I was a child. Too many kids today (my grands) don't do anything that doesn't require batteries!

    How cute! And yeah for teaching little boys to sew on their buttons. Send them to college with a little sewing kit too.

    I want to hear the rest of the story. Don't keep Robert all to yourself!

    :) And why would he need to sew on buttons anyway? There will most likely always be a willing lady to do it for him!!

    I think it's a great idea for every little boy to learn how to sew. Back in my day there was such a thing called home economics in school which taught us life skills like sewing on buttons and hemming a pair of pants. Imagine that, learning something we can carry with us throughout life. I think it's time to get back to basics. Cute post.

    Oh my gosh, your grandchildren are just so precious...every single one of them! He is sewing! My goodness...and "not talking" to you! lol. What a joy. I hope your ice skating rink hasn't caused too much controversy! Diana, just let him flood the yard sweetie. A guy has to have a bit of winter fun.

    Hi Diana,

    Well the little guy is darling, and a charmer. You seem to come from a family of charmers:-)

    So cleaver Diana and what a little charmer he is! That little horse is adorable and such a wonderful skill for a young man to learn. So funny.. my college age son was just asking me about sewing on a button the other day. I gave him a needle and thread and said .. go at it!

    Enjoy your day!

    How do you get anything done with him around? I would just want to talk and play and delight in this sweet age.
    Can't wait to read about the ice rink!!

    Oh, he looks so sweet just sewing there, and not wanting to be disturbed because he's concentrating. I have missed a couple of posts of yours. I have had the worst flu bug ever - chills, feverish. I feel a bit better today. Had to comment on this post. Secret....I had an old boyfriend who looked just like Robert Redford hehehe.
