I blame my mother. Growing up, she taught me to make baked goods from scratch, cross-stitch any kind of fabrics, pour chocolate shapes, and make the things I wanted rather than buy them. For my fourth birthday (I think), I was in love with CareBears so she hand-sewed about 25 CareBears and hung them from the ceiling by a shiny ribbon attached to the tops of their heads. Each kid got to take home a bear as a favor while my sister and I got nicer stuffed bears hand made by her. I got Birthday Bear (and cried because Sunshine Bear was my favorite - sorry, Mom!!) and my sister got Good Luck Bear. We both still have them - dirty, worn and loved.
She still does tons of crafts and now I do, too. I can't wait to share them with you!
