PotW 4/18/12

Hi Everyone-

Hope you have been enjoying the wonderful, above-average temperatures we've been having lately!  I am loving the fact that I got 4 big days of yardwork done last month when it was abnormally warm, and now I can just sit back and watch things bloom.  And wander around the yard with my camera taking photos of new creations.  In my PJs.  My neighbors have gotten used to it (I think).

Anyway, the flowers and everything else seem to be almost a month ahead of schedule.  The daffodils that Nathaniel used to cut to put on my breakfast tray on Mother's Day will be long gone a month from now when Mother's Day arrives (May 13th).

Speaking of Mother's Day, this week's feature is an item that would be a PERFECT gift for Mother's Day.   I have literally made DOZENS over the last few years, and somehow....somehow...I have never remembered to take a picture of a single one, and have never offered them as a PotW.  This one was almost no different, except that in the car on the way to delivering it, I remembered "Hey, stupid!  You forgot to take a picture again!"

So I pulled my little car over to the side of the road and considered (for longer than I should have, actually), climbing out of my car and wandering around the yard of a nearby house to find a nice natural prop for the item.  Then I decided that maybe the homeowner wouldn't appreciate having me wandering around taking pictures in their yard and came to my senses.  Not everyone is as understanding as my neighbors, after all.

The good news is that I finally remembered to take a picture.  The bad news is that I had to use my iPhone camera, and the only "prop" I had in my car was my yoga mat!  So it isn't the best photo I've ever put on my website.   But it's plenty good enough for you to see that most Moms or GrandMoms would just LOVE one of these.  If you want one for yourself...forward this message to hubby and send him my way!

See the photo below.  And if you order one, and you remind me to take a picture, I'll use a picture of YOURS on the website from now on!


Until next week---
Kim
