It's okay to enjoy an activity just for fun even if it doesn't turn out well.<br /><br />This is a happy story.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173616693453942166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546639772211374853.post-29106504722540038872012-02-16T11:18:47.335-07:002012-02-16T11:18:47.335-07:00That is ADORABLE.

I must turn to my husband for all creative ventures. And that box? HOLY HECK!!! That's amazing! What an experience to finally be "that mom." I think you should memorialize it with a framed picture, with your face in it, on your wall. :)amber_mtmchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871256362646081536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546639772211374853.post-20482071496265731682012-02-14T14:23:50.914-07:002012-02-14T14:23:50.914-07:00This.is.hilarious!!

She said she was making her baptism dress...I thought okay, simple, sewn etc....Nope, took 10 months...hand embroidered the whole ave maria around each panel...The most ornate baptism gown I have ever seen! I was so scared to bring it home on the plane that it is still at her house. Oh and it came with a garment bag that was hand embroidered as well.... :) She said that at the end of the dress she would sit down and literally shake because it was SO MUCH!

I yearn to be able to make cute, artsy-crafty things, or to knit or crochet or do scrapbooking, or what have you. When I try, however, it rarely ends well. :P Or it ends up looking substandard while Classmate X's mom brings in something that looks like it should be featured in <i>Martha Stewart Living</i>, and then I feel guilty because I wish I had done a better job.JoAnna Wahlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09942928659520676271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546639772211374853.post-25575152626288981342012-02-14T08:49:53.471-07:002012-02-14T08:49:53.471-07:00awww, that's too bad that you feel like that&#...awww, that's too bad that you feel like that's a bad thing. I proudly exclaim that the kids' Grandma does all the sewing needed in our family (except for putting on buttons...I CAN do that) and anything artsy like your picture would come from my step-mom or the kids aunts. I don't have a creative bone in my body. I think that's so cute and something you can keep forever! I guess I never looked around at what anyone else brought it was time for stuff like that. So quite possibly...I have no idea what you're referring to as to being one of "those" moms. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
