spt (self portrait tuesday) - hope

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
- Albert Einstein



Tess and I made some reminders of hope with our ornaments this year. We are definitely feeling hopeful around here about life, about the new year.




And I'm increasing hopeful that there will be many more moments like these with my girls. I don't know what would be more meaningful than to teach them what I love. There is usually a project in the works at my house, but not always a project together and I want to make sure there are more and more projects together. I too often forget that they're old enough to learn just about anything and I'm excited to share it with them.

That ornament is beautiful. What a fun way to spend time with your kids. Happy New Year.

that ornament is gorgeous.

that's a great goal for your girls. i loved it whenever my mom brought me into her world to teach me something she had already master, or even better, so that we could learn something together. it's so nice for a daughter to feel like she's a friend.

What a great reminder (and a beautiful ornament)! I too often hesitate to include the kids in my projects and I'm almost always glad when I do...what a great moment to treasure!

Lene said...

What a beautiful ornament, and what a beautiful moment captured.

I'm grateful for all that my mother and grandmother taught me. I have to remember to pass those things along!

I think it's so great to share your talents with your girls. You are so creative, what better teacher/example could they have?

I have been thinking about Olivia lately and how much she loves crafts- I want to create more opportunities for her to learn and develop her talents. I want to teach her how to knit or crochet, do simple sewing with a needle, and bake with her more (she begs me every day). She also wants to do a quilt so maybe we can make a little one! As if I don't have enough projects going, right?

Have fun with your girls and be sure to share the projects on your blog!
