Mommy, I want to make a horse!

Ynigo surprised and challenged my art skills a few days ago when he went up to me and asked me to make him a horse.  I thought, "uh oh... this will truly be a feat!" Together we gathered materials we would need;
            - a old mop handle,
            - textile scraps,
            - ribbon scraps,
            - yarn,
            - googly eyes,
            - an old sock
            - glue gun and sticks

Ynigo then stuffed the sock with textile scraps.  Afterwhich, we added the hair and the eyes.  Ynigo was then very particular about wanting reins to hold on, so I had to glue ribbon scraps (from Christmas boxes we received before).  Ynigo was very proud of our masterpiece and immediately went to the other house (granny's) to show off his horse.  He rode on it the whole day!
