1. Sarah, of course. Is that not the cutest lopsided grin ever? (She'll be so embarrassed seeing this). When Sarah was born, I decided that I'd do something different from the usual baby sampler; something which could be passed down through the generations. And who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh? So I made this needlepoint height chart, which should have gone up to 7 ft. as both Sarah and her brother John are now tall children of tall parents. But this leads us to the second "cute" of this post.
2. Most of this chart was stitched while I was working in San Francisco. I found that, even standing, if I could prop myself against something, I could stitch. Each day, I'd stitch quietly away. One day, a very nicely dressed man whom I'd seen on my car from time-to-time but not recently, came up to me. In a rather excited voice he asked "Have you stitched the balloon yet?" I said yes I had, and unrolled the canvas so he could see the green balloon. He sighed and, rather wistfully said "I love the balloon."
And there you are. A very cute little girl and, I think, a cute story to tie it all together.

Excellent story, and Pooh is always adorable!
