under construction… again
From the monthly archives:
I didn’t think this was post worthy but when people see it they are always commenting… so… I’ve decided to share. Here’s a pincushion I made out of a cup/saucer set I found in a second hand store ($2). I just hot glued them together, covered a styrofoam ball in a piece of pink vintage chenille then shoved it in the cup. If I didn’t find this cup… you would be looking at a stuck voodoo doll.

I have a lot of shots of my boys together… and the scrapbook title “Brothers” is going to wear thin. (I say ‘going to’ because I’m so far behind I have yet to actually pull together more than a hand full of pages.) I just love the way Micah is always looking out and helping Shane. Here he is helping him put on his shoes while Shane was compensating him with a hug. It was so cute. Anyway, I received this quipit today and thought it would be funny on a page… what do you think?
Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.
The man at the counter asked the older boy, “Son, how old are you?”
“Eight,” the boy replied. The man continued, “do you know what these are used for?” The boy replied, “not exactly, but they aren’t for me. They are for him. He’s my brother. He’s four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bitke. Right now, he can’t do either.”

This couldn’t have been a better project for me to work on to fill my
crafting void since my Uncle’s passing.
We will be visiting my in-laws for the anniversary of my husbands Grandmothers
Passing. Since my Mother in-laws parents have joined each other I decided to make this
gift for her and each of her sisters with both of their pictures.
I had to do a lot of research to find the perfect sentiment… so it felt good to
read tons of quotes on remembering and appreciating the good times with
those who have passed.
The quote I used on the reverse:
“Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure.
You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.”
