Right now, I have about five projects partially done, the only thing lacking is the time to finish them. Sunday is my day off, so hopefully I will be able to go crazy and get a lot done. Now, for today I have been racking my brain figuring out what to blog about. Part of my problem is all of the unfinished projects, I want to get them all done, so the work is done simultaneously on all of them. This is a bad thing when you are searching for just one item to blog about, but it will be good when next week rolls around and there are many items to choose from.
Many times I have posted about the meaning of the gift and putting thought into things rather than spending a ton of money. Over the past few years as my niece and nephew have gotten older I have opted to give them an afternoon with Auntie. When I first did this is was because I was unable to get to a birthday party for my niece. We went and got pedicures together and chatted. Since then, we have gone to lunch a few times and last year, I took my nephew to lunch. They really enjoyed it and now as my husband's nieces and nephews are growing up, they too want to spend some time with me. It is so fun! One wants to cook with me, another is coming over this summer to paint. His oldest niece and I are going to the History Center together some afternoon. This has been a great gift and is beneficial to me and them, we get great memories and also get to know each other. Just a reminder that you don't have to paint, craft or sew to be creative!
Here a mini project. The other day, I made those cute flowers, well since then, I decided to make a few more. Here is one that has a barrette attached, it is now an adorable hair ornament!
