The Crafty Garden
My mother is the queen of craft. Growing up she taught us girls how to sew, crochet, work felt like no ones business, and make all manner of gifts with just about anything we might have had on hand. Naturally, she is always up to something. She’s always had a sweet potato growing in an old shoe somewhere. Her garden now is a little playland of mundane objects revived with sweet sprays of flowers. One of my personal favorites is her bird feeders. She drilled an impression on the bottom of a teacup saucer and glued the saucer to a dowel and the cup to the saucer. She stuck the whole thing in the ground and voila! a bird feeder.
I was just thinking of you this morning. How nice to see your mom too. Hi, there!
