My daughter is 11 and she has always been a little more introverted. Last year was especially tough on her after dealing with bullying, so most of her time now is spent with me and our dogs. Lately she has been watching me while I work in the garden and finish up my crochet orders for the Tedooo app.
She is such a special and talented girl. Over the past few weeks she has been slipping away to her room with scraps of old fabric, telling me she was working on a surprise. Yesterday she walked out with the biggest smile on her face and showed me what she had made. She sewed her very own gardening suit. Then she told me that one day her dream is to open her own shop on Tedooo.
I cannot even explain how proud I am. She wore her handmade suit out to the garden to help me and looked so confident doing it. Some kids might laugh at her for loving sewing and gardening instead of the “cooler” hobbies, but I see the bravery it takes to be yourself. To me she is one of the most creative and courageous girls I know.
