TLB and I are setting out for Hobby Lobby in a bit....

... and buying items to make a craft today.  Hehehe!

TLB does NOT do crafts.  She pays others to make them for her.  Totally endearing!!

And even though she says she doesn't enjoy them, when I can get her to do something (maybe once out of every ten years), she always seems extra proud when she finishes it.

There's something she does do that I never have been able to.... knitting.  And she's great at it.  And knitting seems much more chic anyway.  So even in her non-domesticity.... except that she's also a very accomplished cook, she's mega cool!

Anyway.... we'll see how the day goes.

We're going to do a Valentine quilling project.

I learned how to quill when I was 8.... it was one of the first crafty things I learned.

TLB had a neighbor teach me.  She'd see I'd have an interest in something and sign me up for lessons or pay someone to teach me.  What a lucky daughter I've been!  I learned all the important things about life from my incredibly wonderful mother.... and the little extra interests I had she didn't know how to do, she made sure I got the chance for.

More to come...




TLB LOVED Hobby Lobby!

Have I ever talked about my thing for rocks?  Have had it since I was a little girl.... loved to collect rocks and go to rock shops.  I even have a few sitting next to my bed (nothing bigger than what fits in the palm of your hand) right now that've caught my fancy the last year or so... or that someone's given me.  Like the small white one Ally gave to me from our trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, at the Quileute Indian Reservation beach (okay, yeah... so it was really to see 'Twilight' country, but we saw some pretty amazing scenery as well)... and then a black rock Rob found on our trip to the Oregon Coast last year. Anyway... there's this lake in Montana ... Lake McDonald ... obviously from the subject heading... and it's got shores of brightly-colored rocks.  So guess what got added to the bucket list as soon as I saw the photos?  Yep... I will go there... for the rocks.... just to see the pretty colors.
