she decorates cakes.

sculpts clay.
but best of all, mama bear was a utah state sewing champion. (we're talking the 60s people -when the competition in the domestic capital of the world was STIFF.) we have the velvet dresses/ drapes/ baby blankets/ quilts/ prom dresses/ and throw pillows to prove it.
right now, i'm so in love with the pillows she made for our flat i can barely stand it. piped and plumped to perfection.

so true. and they are beautiful. are those your actual pillows? well photographed.
i was just hoping someone had blogged so i could ignore stella & packing for 2 minutes :) you always come through for me.
agreed. she is perfection. (her daughters aren't half bad either!)
Um, I must see said pillows and the new furniture arrangement (although I guess it's not really 'new' anymore!).
Ain't that the truth! Our moms are one in the same. Curtains, drapes, pillows, wedding decorations and flowers, holiday decor, you name it, they can do it to prefection.
This will definitely come in handy when we start decorating for real in a couple months!
