Lilly's crafts

Today is dedicated to my little friend Lilly.  She is 9 yrs old and loves learning crafts. I have been teaching Lilly to sew and cross-stitch because that is her passion right now, although she is beginning to take a big interest in paper crafting and together we have made some cards for her family and friends.  I didn't take any picture of those, but will do so in future.Lilly has only been learning to stitch for  4 months, so I am really proud of her progress.

 




Lilly's first flowers in cross-stitch



Lilly's hearts with running stitch frame.


So neat and pretty!




Lilly's first  sewing project.  Didn't she do well?



Lilly's first felt bag.  She made the flowers and the cord.  Well Done!



Lilly's practice sheet.  She learned so many new stitches.Good practice for dexterity and making small stitches. As you can tell by her other projects, Lilly's dedication has paid off.  Good girl!

Lilly's experiment.  She wanted to combine cross-stitch with hand-made flowers and the addition of a bit of a fabric that she liked. I am impressed. What do you think?

    How lovely! Thank you very much Elaine. Lilly is so enjoying doing crafts work with you together. You have encouraged and stimulate her interest for this. I can see how quick her progression she has made. You have introduced a wonderful crafty world for her. We love you very much.

    Hello Elaine, Oh, my you have taught Lilly very well, she has done such a wonderful job in such a short time. I think Cheyenne and Lilly would get along very well and would have so much fun together. Sad we live so far away from each other. You keep up the good work.
