WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING

*A message every adult should read because children
are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.*

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my
first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately
wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a
stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind
to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my
favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little
things can be the special things in life.

When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a
prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always
talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a
meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I
learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care
of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have
to take care of what we are given.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you
handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't
feel good, and I learned that I would have to be
responsible when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come
from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things
hurt, but it's all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you
cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of
life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and
productive person when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and
wanted to say, 'Thanks for all the things I saw when
you thought I wasn't looking.'

I posted this for all of you who do so much for others,

but think that no one ever sees.

Little eyes see a lot.

Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, friend)
influences the life of a child.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.

A Stitch In Time Magnetic Fabric Letters Review!

Stacy at "A Stitch In Time" on Facebook is an Artist! She makes Handmade Capes, Masks, Upcycled Children's clothing, Coffee Cup Cozies, Fabric Magnetic Letter (alphabet) sets, Baby Blankets, and more!

My family and I were very fortunate to review one of the Fabric Magnetic Letter Sets and the cute drawstring bag to keep them in. Even my husband was impressed with the letters and liked them very much. The magnets are sewn inside the letters so that little teeth can not bite them off. The Fabric Magnetic Letters are designed to be manipulative by little hands and fingers to help children work on their fine motor skills. Once letters are smoothed into place they stick to any metal surface.

One set of Fabric Magnetic Letters is $30, Drawstring bag is $2.50, and Shipping is $2.50. So for $35.00 you can own a set of Fabric Magnetic Letters of your own!!! ($2.00 for each additional letter, in case you need extras for your child(ren) to spell their own names!)

Matthew spelled his name all on his own. I had no idea he even knew how to spell his name, or other words, until I got the letters out for the kids to play with for this review. YES, these letters DO stick to the refrigerator too! My kids are strange though, they like playing with them on the table instead.

Our four and a half year old son Matthew is having some major issues with his fine motor skills. By playing with these letters and working on spelling his name and his friends at school's names. Little does he know, but he is secretly working on strengthening the muscles in his hands and fingers that are used for writing, drawing, and eating. He is still having some issues holding spoons and forks too.

Even Chloe likes to try to spell her name and other words too! She's almost 3 years old, and knows how to spell her own name!

Stacy will make custom items too! Custom outfits, pillowcase dresses, and more! If you email her a photo, she might be able to make it for you!

Below are photos and links to some other great items handmade by Stacy at A Stitch In Time! Just click on the photos to check out the items!

Reversible Cape, this was before it was put together. So cute though with Madeline!

For Sale: 3T Upcycled Jeans and Pillowcase Shirt (made from bandanas) - $25.00

For Sale: Size 2T skirt and tank top - $25.00

Masks - $5.00 - Toddler size, & $6.00 - Preschool Size

(Stacy doesn't have the pattern for larger masks, yet)

Could you imagine having a Superhero party and having a cute, handmade mask as a party favor made for each child at the party to wear! That would be so cute! The photos would be priceless and great for any scrapbook!

Capes - $18.00 each (the ones in the photo above)

Capes Prices are:

Preschool/Todder $16

Large child (age 6-10) $18

Adult $22
