in comes my daughter. i made many of her clothes when she was growing up and had started my own boutique children's clothing line during this period. she grew up around sewing machines but never got the sewing bug. i did crafts with her and i helped her to start her own school squishy project where we would make them and she sold them to friends at school but sewing never took with her.
i even tried teaching my sister to sew plus my mom always was crocheting/knitting on something. it never took with her either. i am afraid that this is going to be a dying art in my line of the family. i do have a granddaughter to teach and two young nieces to break in but my daughter is a lost cause in this art. but my daughter does sing and has a beautiful soprano voice. her interest lies in making music so that is artistic right? that means the artistic gene has passed on but just in a different medium, right? she did get a bit part on a gospel album and i am so proud of her for it.

I picked up STUFF for my SP. She likes STUFF. I hit the thrift store and found a plastic bag STUFF'd with patterns.
Yes I did think about keeping them, but I was shopping for her! :0
Oh and like me, she doesn't like licorice.
Whee!

Mary,
With my two youngest daughters I can fully understand them NOT
getting the artistic bug because in all honesty I am NOT their birth
mom, I am only the "wicked" step-mom.
I can accept the youngest daughter not being "crafty" I like having
my "brainy" child too. She is a Freshman student at Truman State
working on a double major in Chemistry & Biology with the goals to
become a High School Science Teacher.
But with my oldest daughter she has learned to crochet by going
to youtube and watching videos. I USE to crochet, but haven't in
over 25 years. She likes sewn things, and even bought a sewing
machine a couple years ago, but the guy she was living with had
a young son and he kept pushing her machine off the table onto
the floor until it finally broke and the father refused to do anything
to replace it so she lost the "sewing" bug before it had a chance to
stick with her.
