My youngest son's son, Benjamin, was born 8 or 9 weeks early two and a half years ago. His feet were so weensie! Son Peter had those tiny feet tattooed on his chest, over his heart. I am not a tattoo fan, but I had to admit, those feet were precious! So, I scanned the footprints from the hospital records and digitized them in my Bernina V6 software and used that embroidery for a few items - towel, bib... When I was down helping with the newest baby, I took a copy of her brand-new footprints and now they, too, have been translated into stitches. At under 3", they are just the right size for a corner of this tea towel. I suppose I could design something with all the details that could be framed, but having a simple dish towel that can be used over and over for many years is a practical way to remember just how tiny these kids start out!

All of those handprints they did in school-'member them? Kids knew to hand them over to me-I think those hands and feet are the most precious part of our lives. I truly can understand why son had them tatooed over his heart. =)
