what eric does while i sew

many of you probably wonder what eric must be up to while i sew.  i used to sew primarily in the bedroom at that little sewing table that we set up next to the bed.  however, recently i've been sewing on the coffee table/chest in the living room area of the apartment so that eric and i could explore our hobbies simultaneously in each other's company. 
here's the view from my sewing machine: 
 
to back this story up a bit, 2 weekends ago, while i was finishing up alice's bday top, eric decided to harvest not 1, or 2, or even 3, but FIVE of our collard plants.  they were taller than me, and with the stalks, they probably weighed as much as me.  look at how proud he is!
not convinced that there's a lot back there?  here's a side view, to give you a better perspective:
not a small feat to clip all those leaves off and to wash them.  bath time!
he then flash-boiled them all and vacuum-sealed them into packs for the freezer.  we'll have collards for the rest of the year!  woot! 
applause for eric!  this feat took hours.  oh, wonder how i was able to sew and photograph him at the same time?  he usually documents my sewing while he's in the midst of his activities too.  skillz, yo, we got skillz.  wondering what lil' fuzz is up to while we're busy? 
lil' bunny has got to rest.  zzzzz's.  here's a ridiculously cute picture of him lounging on the perch in his travel cage while we were up in westchester for alice's bday dinner last weekend.
