I had to share what happened with the headless Jeffy puppet. I took the unfinished puppet to work to finish up the head. I had the WIP in my crochet bag. When the older kids got out of school, my fifth grader who requested the puppet walked in. The first thing he asked me was if I had started the puppet. I told him to go look in my crochet bag, hoping he would like what I had so far. I was dispensing snacks so I became distracted. Next thing I knew, he was playing with the headless puppet! I guess he liked it! LOL He even tried to make him a thingamajig with a pipe cleaner so he could move the arms. I helped him make a better one with a wooden dowel I had in our craft closet.
It always feels good when you make something for someone and they truly love it. Meeting someone else’s expectations can be daunting, even if it’s a fifth grade boy’s expectations, especially if it’s a fifth grade boy’s expectations! Let’s see what happens when the head is done.

I’m so glad he likes how it’s coming along! That really is an awesome feeling! I get so worried as I’m making something that the person I’m making it for won’t like it. And even worse, because I crochet for family and friends I also think that they won’t tell me that they don’t like it to spare my feelings.

The kids don’t have that filter. They’ll tell me in a heart beat! Lol. I tell them to throw it in the prize box if they don’t like it. Usually another kid will happily take it.
