My son Duncan loves tall buildings - Burj Khalifa, WTCs, Sears Tower, CN Tower, Eiffel tower, Tokyo Sky Tree, The Great Pyramid
He loves engineering shows - Mega Structures, Big Bigger Biggest, Pricing the Priceless
He loves cities - Sydney, London, New York, Paris, Toronto
He loves shows about cities - 'Megacities', 'Greatest Cities of the World'
'Greatest Cities of the World' with Gryff Rhys Jones |
This is what he picked for his 2nd project. He chose to use the red linen. He sewed the outline of the building. I have sewn the teeny windows and the filling stitches to create the shadow.
It is a needle case pattern by Aneela Hooey from her book 'Little Stitches'. Perfect for a new hobby. Perfect for a boy who loves The Empire State Building. Perfect.
He also loves to draw and won a competition recently to design a mug celebrating the London Olympics. The teacher had his design made into a t-shirt for him to wear. Can you pick the London icons? He knew them all. I didn't. Isn't Aspeger's a fabulous super power?
Oh Duncan has done such a great job on the embroidery! How perfect to have a pattern that fits his interests so well!
ReplyDeleteFiona, the Boy can't get lost and needs to be recognized! I totally could tell from the picture that it was the ESB. The London mug is fantastic! You must be extremely proud!:)
