And posting on a Saturday...well not really breaking a tradition but whenever I come to write a blog post I do tend to find its on a Sunday. This Sunday, however, if your in Blighty is Mother's day and I won't be spending the day hunched over my mini netbook instead I'll be hanging out with my biggest supporter, the one that listens to my ramblings and tells me off when I forget to tell her something important. Yep, my mum!
I don't know about all your crafting types but I wouldn't have gone down the path of doing more and more crafting had it not been for my mum. She was always baking and sewing or even turning her hand to glass and silk painting when I was a kid. Having someone who was free to create around you and encouraged you to get involved is one of the best kick starts to life. So it's to my mum that I give huge kudos to for without her I don't think I would have never have gone to art classes when I was a nipper.
So today I will be spending drinking tea (I have a lot to get through and catch up on) working on the collaboration project with Making Strangers and then stitching of course!
I have found your blog and I am pleased! I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day - mine is postponed a week because I have a sickening cold and so am not up to it; luckily said Mother is very understanding.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as another whose mother gave her the kick-start in her craft, I think there should be a SPECIAL day in celebration of craft mentors. What say you?
