A lovely post. I sewed for my children out of love and necessity and many of the items still remain, not to be thrown out, although Snaky', a cot buffer, was disemboweled eventually. I have a lovely photo of my three year old daughter sporting a pair of Easter bunny slippers that took me all afternoon and much hand sewing to complete. The smile on her face said it all. I think children's books also hold the same importance as they create a shared history. These are the things of real importance in our lives because they are symbols of love.

I so wish I could sew. Alas I grew up in a home where we didn't even own a sewing machine. I have a huge bin filled with special clothes and quilts that were my kids' when they were little. I intend to have them made into quilts for them at some point. They are clothes I can't bear to throw or give away. The trick is finding someone who can do it! You are fortunate to have so many handmade treasures.

It's wonderful to treasure those things handmade by others with love. My kids are still using the quilts hand stitched by my grandmother. Every time I see them I think of her. That's what it's all about.

I made things for my daughter. I wish she liked them or even used them - but she doesn't. I guess it is all about love.

I love this post. I so want to be incredibly creative and try stuff but most of the time the outcome isn't anywhere near others work.
