Hello stitchers!
Here is a little progress from the last few days.
I have almost finished the bed of straw on The Gift by Blackberry Lane.
I didn't even manage a whole word the last time I stitched on ABC's of Parenting. It was a snow day and the children were just out of sorts so I didn't get much done at all.
But the next day I finished another column on Cars. Right now this is my favorite project to stitch on. I think maybe because Brayden gets so excited when he sees me stitching on it.
The other day I got a phone call to remind me about Thomas's 4 year assessment and to get his booster shots. They told me they would be sending out a sheet of activities I was to do with Thomas just to make sure he is developing properly. If I remember correctly from when Brayden was 4 it was things like hop on one foot, abc's, counting and colors, things like that. Thomas is pretty good at counting so I wanted to test him. I held up 2 fingers and asked him how many. He said "2". Then I held up 3 fingers and he said "3". Then I held up 4 fingers and he said "all of them". Regular old wise guy he is!
Beautiful stitching :) I am sure Thomas will pass the assessment with flying colors! I love seeing children excited about crafts. Have you had him try anything yet?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing updates :) Happy Stitching! xxx
Thank you Christie! Brayden is in 4H but he is only 7 so it is a modified program. Each meeting he has with his leaders is just to dip his hand in each kind of project they do. Last year one meeting they sewed felt finger puppets and he loved it so I made him a little sewing kit and he made finger puppet after finger puppet haha! He also tried cross stitching but he wanted to jump right in with a pattern but he didn't quite get making the x's so it was a little frustrating for him. Maybe he will try again in a little while.
DeleteYou work on a variety of projects. I'm essentially an OAAT stitcher.
ReplyDeleteCounting with Thomas sounds fun.
I used to be a OAAT stitcher but I just want to stitch so many things that I had to start a rotation just to get stitches in on everything :) And Thomas is a pretty fun kid :)
DeleteGotta love the things kids say. Love all your stitching.
ReplyDeleteI have pages of cute things written down that my kids have said. And I reread them all the time. Some of them are just priceless! And thank you :)
