The best thing about doing needlepoint for very small children is that they are so uncritical. The don't say things like, "I see you've missed some stitches over here on the leg, was that intentional?" or "Was this creature blinded in a fight?" They will clasp it in their little arms and love it besottedly, inseparably as the thing becomes more and more rancid. ~Carole Berman and Jennifer Lazarus
When my first child was born in 1991, I developed a deep love for smocking and sewing and making dainty little creations for her. Most of those creations have also been worn by my younger three daughters.
Sew Beautiful has some lovely how-to's and smocking plates available on their website. Sand Pails and Antics are particularly sweet for summertime.
When school is recessed and yours truly has more time, I'll happily show off my creations!
