Sewing cards are a great idea. We have some and sunnyboy really enjoys doing them. I’ve just read the comments too. Sewing cards are a great idea. We have some and sunnyboy really enjoys doing them.

Hopefully we'll have a baby by the end of August (which is probably a better way of approaching one's edd anyway . . .) Also, I think we'll try the sewing cards, looms (a childhood favorite of mine), the plastic canvas grids (and I'm even thinking of making felt ones?), and more . . . I suppose this will be a good opportunity for her mamma to learn more about sewing too, :-) Thank you to everyone for the encouragement, light and love, :-) I am feeling good thanks to spending a great weekend with family, getting rest, and lots of one on one time with my husband (so grateful for my mother-in-law’s help this week).

I think it's a great way for children to see how fabric is really just twisted threads (be it sewing, knitting, or crocheting). As a kid, I sewed lots of dolls, clothes for them, and animals. I even had a little working real loom. But I'm certain I was older than Annabelle, finding a simpler way to teach the concept (like the potholder thing) then moving up to more complicated ways of twisting threads. Or if she wants to play with yarn, some simple braids as friendship bracelet type things might do the trick! Good luck waiting for the baby! Our thoughts are with you.

How nice that your MIL is there! I echo Abbie's words on sewing! You are such a wonderful mother, you thoughts brought me to tears, as they often do! Thank you for sharing your feelings and just keep on doing the marvelous job you do! Much love, Ruth Jessica my dear,

I would have been induced the next day if he did not come on his own so I took castor oil and it worked like a charm :P Hang in there. For crafting try plastic canvas. I also remember loving making things out of felt when I was younger. I am glad you are feeling better about waiting :) My son was born two weeks after his due date.
