He is addicted to my machines, my Button.

| Snuck up on him! |
He is a tiny little guy and has been climbing for awhile, but this past week, he finally grew tall enough to get his foot up on my chair. Now I catch him in my room all the time!

The gate that used to keep him in?

| "Trapped" October 2011 |
It serves a dual purpose now! To keep him out when I am not in there. And to keep him in when I am trying to sew. I don't have to worry about him climbing and standing in the middle of the kitchen table!
I also have accepted that he likes to sit on my lap when I sew, so I do a combined trapping of his arm and managing my fabric with one hand....
I have now picked up the habit of turning the surge protector that my machines are plugged into off when I leave the room.
Any other sewing safety tips?
He is my first of the four boys to be this young and utterly fascinated in the machines!
