Eliot wanted to sew with me recently so we dug out the trusty buttons, embroidery floss and hoop. He spent a lot of time working on stringing and sewing buttons. He then neatly cuts them all off (the best part) and puts it all away. He doesn't need the sense of a final product the same way I do. I should learn from him and be OK with impermanence.

Buttons and Crocus
The crocus were beautiful this year. I love the purple, green and bright yellow centers together. I now have some purple iris coming up in my garden in full force. Eliot has been harvesting mint about every day. He loves the stuff. I figure a little more green food in his diet can't hurt. We hunted down more tea berry, too. I was hopeful that the new shoots would be better flavored but I didn't find them to be much better. Maybe when the berries appear we can use them for something.

I need to take a lesson from Elliot too.
Thanks for the needlecase love!
Hope to be seeing you soon!
Isn't it fun doing crafts with kids??!!! Well, I guess only when you are able to fully concentrate on it and aren't under a deadline for a craft of your own. ;) I'm so glad my boys are into knitting and don't think it's too much of a girl thing.
