The best moment of 2024 ( https://youtu.be/O_kolsZMkvw ) is finding that my daughter and I have a common interest, maybe a future hobby.
Janet's kindergarten teacher said she enjoys table activities and crafts. This December 2024, when chicken pox made us sit at home, we had our real family time; to do things together, away from all kinds of busy lives. It was time to explore our hidden interests.
Janet usually draws five circular things with two hands and two legs. She calls it my family. As sheets of Janet's paintings were hanging on the house's walls, I noticed that she had started to find shapes interesting. It was the first time I saw something different. Maybe inspired by her playschool friends. She drew a hut. Triangle and boxes✍️. So we tried to draw two mountains and a sun, taking me back to when I used to draw when I was small.
Suddenly, I decided to stitch it on a canvas. We had lots of time.
I got my stitching materials from basements. "Cross stitch needle" with blunt ends made it simple and safe for her.
It was interesting to see her work. It was not easy. Sill she didnot give up. She tried to follow the holes. Sometimes, it goes out, and we have to redo it. Sometimes the thread comes out of the needle. Still, she did 40% of the work.🥰 We captured some beautiful and inspiring moments that captured her joy in stitching.
