My little boy's tippy toes were so cute - he was really stretching up high! Daniel has been working hard "catching up" to his age. He was a preemie (32 weeks), but fortunately, no physical problems. Today he graduated out of the special care program from the hospital - his developmental specialist, Goldie, visited our home for the last time. He's totally caught up to his age in every way - yipee!
I made a little "thank-you art" for Goldie's office. I wanted to capture something personal to remember us by, yet relate to her job helping preemie babies and their families progress. Even though Daniel wasn't facing any physical impairment, it was so great to have her come to our home. I learned so many new ways to play with my baby that really helped him grow.
So, this is the first collage piece that I've taken a picture of, and dared to give as a gift! I think it's alright - I can see that I'm a beginner. Now I'm so excited to make more of this kind of art; it was so fun!! I'm very experienced with sewing and needlework, but not with paper and collage art (so insecure for some reason - it took me all day just to get started!). I have a lot to learn, and I'm anxious to find my own style.
I guess I have some reaching to do - just like my little Daniel! It's quite an adventure...

Hi Whitney! My son's name is Daniel too, the youngest. He is 3 years old. How cute those toes...aren't they all lovely? They are growing so fast...
My oldest did not speak till 3 years old. We had speech therapist coming every week, but he just spoke when he went to preschool. That was the best thing. We don't know why he delayed so much to speak. I guess because I spoke portuguese and daddy english?
Ooooh, I need to go down there and take classes with you, since you have experience with needles. I am learning and another day I was looking at those industrial machines to make bags, but I was just looking. Somehow I like to make bags. It's fun. I need more skills to make really cool ones.
My hubby is coming home and I will se if we can go there next week.
Xoxo,
Sweet!
