I saw these on homemadebyjill's blog and I had to try them! I loved how they turned out, so much so that I gave a bouquet to my Grandma at Christmas and an unpainted dozen to Mom to paint herself.
One of the things my Mom and I did together throughout my childhood was window shop. Really, who doesn't do this with their Mom? When I was very young it was a drag. Then the preteen years hit and it was much more pleasant. Now, living 3,000 miles apart, that time together is something I miss.
Whenever one of us would spy something we would like, my Mom would inevitably say, "You can make that." There were many times that sentence would illicit an eyeroll, but mostly, it got us talking about how we could really make that.
Those 4 words, while at times were grating (Why don't YOU make it Mom!) ultimately gave me the confidence that, yes, I really can make that.
Not so great at these types of things. My husband is though, maybe I should get him to write this? That's probably cheating. I am great at making messes, even better at starting projects. Not so much at cleaning house, or finishing projects. Often I am working on something and I will be reminded that I wanted to get this or that done, so I will move on to something else. Drives my husband crazy. BUT! It means I always have something to do. :)
