Thank you for visiting my new blog!
I am starting this venture as a way to encourage moms in their desire to teach and train their daughters. Mainly I will be concentrating on the crafty side of things, but I am sure that more important and eternal matters will make their way onto my blog's pages, since they are the starting point of all things.
Teaching my girls to craft and create has been one of the most bonding experiences for us. Taking the time to design, make, and troubleshoot are all skills that will be used in all areas of life, and doing this together is a perfect way to walk your girls through some great learning experiences.
Whether you are a crafter or not, I hope to post projects and ideas that will appeal to all skill levels. If you are a beginner yourself, just remember that many a project has to be tossed in the trash before a great one makes its appearance. I know this from experience! You do not need to be an expert in an area in order to teach a child, there simply needs to be a willingness to learn something new.
I hope you will check back soon!
Thank You Thank You Thank You! This is very sweet...

Great idea, Randi! You are the perfect one for passing on the help. Thank you for the encouragement. It is needed on this end. :-)
My son wanted to learn how to sew and I started with a simple bag for his bike. It turned out pretty well, but I didn't have a pattern for it and so much of the "grunt" work was in coming up with dimensions...
Blessings on your new venture!

Thanks for sharing your crafting ideas on this blog! My eldest daughter will be five next birthday and I keen to teach her how to sew (she's already keen to do other craft) and your hints are great.

I just found this site via craftzine.com. I think it's a brilliant idea. Since my mother never thought me how to sew (she didn't really like it, nor was she very good at it), I might try some of your suggestions myself. I will certainly be checking this site for more tips and tricks in the future. Thanks a lot for doing this! And good luck with it.

Oh, I love this!! My girls are always wanting to join in on my crafts. Also, would you consider submitting an article to the Mothers and Daughters Blog Carnival on my blog?

Yeah! I've been looking for this type of blog! I have a little boy, and hope to be inspired for things to do with him as well!

Me too I have a son. He's almost six. He loves to create things and like your daughter he's a gift-giver. He's made birthday cards for almost all of the kids in his class this year. He's itching to get his hands on the sewing machine.
Thanks for a cute and inspiring blog.

Posted on Congress is betting the tonstituencs are the lame ducks of course.And the concensus proves it. all one needs to do is turn on the boob tube CNN And your statement was on target! As healthcare is concerned you bet obama will muck-it-up as we can see its all about greed and power. I think we all see the big power grab and control by the government course this country is heading for. The problem is How do we stop it?.. Many feel as if a vote next year will fix the problem. I think it adds fuel to the fire not only that but I believe it is planned and controlled. Frankly speaking this will play rigth into obamas lap. he gets rid of the ones that oppose him. This is a very dangerous man he plays to win but not for America. Do you think that the democrats have no clue that they are going to be voted out? They have drones a model of themselves called republicans. All they need to do is e2€œchangee2€9d teams in mid streamI hate that word.Healthcare is no more than a money grab and nothing less than a power hungry dictatorship / totalitarionship. Ultamitly the micromanagement of the US. This is the avenue of the mark of the beast. The control of life from birth until death with the government making all of the decisions.
