Embrodiery - Kid Crafts

Growing up I never learned many crafts, except one....cross-stitching. My mom & my sister both made these great cross-stitched projects. I have a few hanging in our house. It was the only craft I ever felt confident at. I remember in Art Appreciation Class, our end of the semester project, we were asked to create a "hand-made" item relative to our art history curriculum. I had no idea what I would come up with..I remember thumbing through the thick pages of our text book & admiring all the talented people before my time. I ended up, yes..cross-stitching a "native american art piece." I still have it! Framed & proudly diplayed on our basement bookshelf! I never knew I had any talents until I pulled them out of thin air. I guess that's why I remind my kids all the time how talented they are. We all are! It's in there..just keep looking. Kid Craft Project thanks to a visit to "sew to speak" with Maddie & Yaya. Luckily the pattern was iron-on transferable & I was able to make two for both Jack & Maddie. Not quite cross-stitching, but reminisicent.
