Hope had her first lesson in hand sewing last week. She finished this bird all at once! She learned how to thread the needle, tie a knot, stich, stich a finishing knot and stuff. We are using this book called My First Sewing Book
which has two felt birds to sew and then teaches children how to make patterns to create all sorts of animals and puppets. I'm sure there will be a whole zoo of animals by the end of the year!~Rose

That is so cool! I can't wait to do those things with Abby!
Nice job, Hope!! I've never been good at sewing myself, though I try (I just finished a quilt this week that is actually laugh-out-loud funny). I love the bird and look forward to seeing more of them... maybe you can teach me how to sew someday.

I love it!!! AND I LOVE little birds, a bit too much! Poor troy, little birdie stuff is all over the yard. Good job sewing Hope! I don't love to sew but am so thankful I know how! It has helped me so much over the years. And good job Rose! I am thankful to my mom even now for all the things she taught me to do, Hope will thank you one day for doing the same! :)
amazing! i guess she takes after her momma!
That little project is absolutely adorable (and so is sweet Hope).
And likewise, Olivia had her first crochet lesson today. A full two years earlier than I had planned but she was truly begging me to learn. So, we learned how to start a chain, work tension over our fingers, and work a basic chain stitch (a million stitches long, lol). It's as much as I'm willing to teach her for now, as learning tension is a MUST for crochet. So I told her, "practice, practice, practice these basics for a VERY long time." She's content,...for now.
Blessings,
