Kristen is the Creative Queen Bee - you will have to check out her blog.....ever since she was a little girl it has been all about creating things.....she would save every tag, every milk add, every this and that for a 'project'. Steve and I were always worried since her room was upstairs and full of creative treasurers it would surely cave in under the weight. However, I must say she creates beautifully in all mediums (wood, paper, oils, paint, fabric, vinyl) I am amazed at her talent. She has endless ideas and of late they involve sewing which is not one of my talents. That does not seem to stop her creative juices tho.....nor her persistence....
I have always envied those who can sit at a machine and whirl away, my MaMa Auten, my Auntie Gwen, my cousin Connie. My mom and I, on the other hand, fight it all the way, bobbins act up, tension is off, swearing begins and it does not end well, as they say. So when the Queen announced her latest idea and after my 18 hr day grueling day at work I needed a creative distraction. Since she was so active in sports as a child I never sat her down with a sewing machine and I plan to do that when I get one that does not frustrate me or her! She whipped out these Little Monsters and Tie templates and I zig-zagged away. Steve got us dinner and after some salty language and some good laughs this is the end results. Turned out pretty cute huh?
adorable! thanks again Mommy, sorry I always get you involved in my many adventures! actually - I'm not sorry I get you involved, I LOVE spending time with you! :)
