I found a new blog recently... well, she found me... Frazzy Dazzles written by Jen. I hope she doesn't mind but I borrowed her photo to show you what she posted about today! You have to go read her post... it's one of those ideas that gave me goosebumps! She was writing about embroidering her children's drawings, to keep them permanently. And then she wrote about making them into a quilt for her bed, to sleep under all those lovely thoughts!! You must read her own words. I just love this idea! I wish my kids were still this little and I had thought about it. I know a lot of you out there still have little ones, so save this idea!! ;)

bethany this is the weirdest thing. i was just on the little cotton rabbits blog and saw about her giveaway! so i just went and left a comment. then i looked to see her favorites and saw red yarn...i clicked on the link to see what you are doing....and read this post. this is just too funny!
I LOVE this idea, and am just getting into embrodiery. Thanks for the link!
What a cool idea! Now I need to learn how to embroider...another thing to add to my "to-do" list!
this is so funny cause i am working on a little embroidery for mothers day presents for the grandmas... I am just barely learning how to embroider, but it is already so much fun! I can't wait to start capturing their drawings and memories this way... thanks for sharing this wonderful blog!
What a lovely precious idea, to be able to have those lovely little drawings for ever. Some people come up with the best ideas.
Hi Bethany,
I just popped over to see what you were up to and saw some of my stitching! How lovely is that? Thank you so much for the link. Blogging has been such a wonderful experience for me in the past few days! To see this here has made my day! To anyone who wants to do this. It is just a really simple back stitch. Keep it simple I say. There are lots of other examples of women who do little embroideries like this of their kids drawings. I know a lady who is about to take her kids drawings off the walls, even though they are framed the kids are 16ish now and want them down...but she loves them so much she is going to stitch them up and cover cushions. She just doesn't want to be without them! Thanks again Bethany. I have loved meeting you - Jen
This is a fabulous idea and a wonderful keepsake. These bloggers are just too creative! Thanks for sharing the link.
Hi Bethany! This is just fantastic! I wish I still drew like a child...oh what am I saying I do still draw like a child!
I think the idea of a quilt of your children's drawings is a great idea. Thanks for the link!
i wish i would say i will do this!! it sure is a fabulous, precious idea. thank you for telling us :)
i've just started keepsaking my children's artwork in this way, and i love seeing how the embroidery of other children turns out, they are always so cute! this photo is no exception, thanks for the great link! :)
