So, during the six years that my children were born - I really liked to cross-stitch. Therefore, I cross-stitched a sampler for each one, complete with: name, birth date, pound-age, etc.
(Some of the info. was covered up to necessitate quick frame-age), but, nonetheless, you get the picture.
Of course I didn't create the patterns for each of the samplers, I merely purchased cross-stitch books with the patterns already inside. I just chose a pattern that I particularly liked, and that I thought fit my child. As the youngest ones were born, I got more creative - I think anyway...
They are a long-lasting, time consuming labor of love that you will be able to give to your child "someday". A creative heirloom for them to take with them, whether they want to or not...:)
It will always remind them that you were spending a lot of time thinking about them when they were tiny and putting those thoughts into action.
This is just one more idea on a PRESERVE that will always have fond memories in yours and your child's life.
