Cross stitch pattern needed!

**Sirrahsim** · 03-28-2007, 08:45 PM

Anyone know where I can find the cross stitch pattern with the poem:

"Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
For babies grow up we learn to our sorrow,
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby and BABIES DON'T KEEP."

I know that my Mom stitched it back in the day but I can't find any patterns with that particular poem on it now! I would love to be able to cross stitch this for my boys

I found these on Ebay --

(auctions ended) But at least if you like the patterns, you could get a craft store near you to order -- one is by Janlynn, and the other is made by Sunset Patterns, No. 13068

You could also look through these links on google, they might help

Want me to make it up for you? I have the software to custom make cross stitch patterns.

I have the same poem stitched and hanging in Mimi's room. My Grandmother made it and hung in my mother's room as an infant, and my mother hung it in mine. I'm hoping Mimi will do the same with her children.

It is a perfect motto with young children too.
