Butterfly Garden

28 January 2009

I started a butterfly mobile for Cora when she was not very old. I cut out the butterflies, shaped them, and then put them in a drawer. I didn't like the idea of what they would be. Yesterday I decided to give it another go, but instead of trying to stiffen fabric butterflies to give them the appearance of flight, I decided to stuff them.

Picture this: Jake and I sitting on the couch, Cora is snoozing away. I have 11 fabric butterflies on my lap. I've stuffed 3.

Jake has mac on his lap looking at law school forums.

I casually mention I'd like some help. No real response.

"If I could have seen this day a little over 5 years ago, I would have had you vow to help me stuff."

He looks at me, smiles, and puts his computer down.
