Cross stitch pattern needed!

[Maresche]

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.

I have done many verses and poems in cross stitch, making my own design. Just get some graph paper and plot it out in whatever font you would like (there are books available in craft stores which just specialize in alphabets). Then plot it all out, choose your colors and add your own design. It is harder to do it this way, but you will end up with an *original.*

Missy there are such good replies here! I always loved that poem. It was pretty popular back in the 70's among "crunchy" moms

Perhaps I am slightly more crunchy than I'd like to admit
Thanks for the help everybody I should be able to order a kit so I shouldn't need the software but thanks so much! I'm so excited to go look for the pattern and get to work. I probably don't have time to finish a project before baby #2 gets here but I can certainly get started
Pam, I am NOT creative enough to do that I know me and knowing myself I would try and fail miserably and then be very angry at myself for not being perfect! That is a cool idea though
