Last Christmas things changed around here.
We had requests for LEGO, after playing with it at friend's houses.
We have very few toys, and the vast majority are either wooden,
Schleich animals, puzzles, pieces from nature
or picked up from op-shops (thrift stores)...
I really did 'Hmmm and Haawww' quite a bit
before I agreed with My Man that we should give it a go.
Well, since birthdays happened in April (and we were introduced to Ninjago...),
I've really been experiencing Big changes in my boys.
Mr Turtle (now 6) has become LEGO obsessed.
He rarely plays with any other toy now.
Lego can be found within faerie hollows in the garden,
under pillows at bedtime and in pockets when we're out and about.
Yesterday, while I was crafting. My eldest wanted to join in too.
'Ahhh', I sighed happily.
Pleased to have my Big Boy crafting beside me once again.
"Do you have any red felt Mama?"
(Well, Yes. I'll just get it for you...)
I'm sure, you have guessed what Mr Turtle wanted to make?

| Stuffing with wool fleece and a crochet hook |
 |
| Using blanket stitch to close the stuffing hole |
 |
| Drawing on the features with permanent marker |
4 y.o. Little Pipkin wanted to make an "Orange one"
 |
| The finished Kai doll with the original Lego minifigure version |
Kind of cute, really.
