Madison is headed to Alabama for college in a few weeks. The last one to leave the nest, her mom is dealing with it as best as she can, keeping very busy gathering everything needed to send her baby off.
Back in April, Melissa sent me this picture of a pillow on
Etsy, with this message:
Whacha think? BAMA......Georgia?
Cost way too much!
I took this to really mean - Mom check out this pillow, it costs too much to buy but I bet you could
make one, right?
I was wrong.
I started sending her ideas for fabrics and asked about
size, etc., when she gently let me down and said that SHE wanted to make it for
Madison . Ah, I
understand.
A little background here, Melissa does not sew. Or knit. Or
crochet. She has done some cross-stitch in the distant past. But then if you
know Melissa, if she decides she wants to do something, she will do it and do
it well.
So she waited until Madison
Followed a few minutes later with this:
Glad I used heat bond lite....alabama is backwards. Oops
All stitches done by hand… with love. Sew proud.
Near-empty-nest tendencies - Melissa sewing - who knew!
