My mother comments regularly on how sewing and knitting abilities skipped her generation and jumped from my grandmother to me. I just think it's unfortunate that I haven't been able to learn from my grandmother because we live so far apart. So instead, I seek out and pay for classes or beg them off of kind, patient friends. As a mother now myself, I hope to be able to pass along as much know-how as possible to my daugher, which I hope she continues to nurture. I find so much joy in creating things, but my biggest frustration is how hard I struggle to find information and learn.
Two months ago, I took a sewing lesson, and she watched patiently from her stroller. Yesterday, I took another lesson, but my little girl was not interested in watching. At four-months old, she's very interested in being involved. So, the only sewing I completed during my lesson, I completed with her on my lap. Sweet angel! I won't complain. I love her so much and hope she learns to appreciate the simple things in life, and I hope to teach her.
