Peter’s first embroidery

January 20, 2010 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

toughLook what six-year-old Peter did! His mom, Corinne (aka so september) says,

Yes, it does say “tough love” on it – an expresssion he overheard me say on the phone as he was stitching. I guess I should be glad I didn’t say something worse in my phone conversation or I might have found it documented in floss by my six year old. He posted this photo on his own blog but added the text, “tip: make your needle go up and down up and down”. Now that’s good stitching advice if I ever heard it.

Adorable! Always glad to see a new stitcher brought into the fold. Well done, Peter!
