It's T's mum's birthday today and (because it was his dad's birthday last week and they got a share-present) we weren't going to give her a birthday present.

But I've been talking to my mum about how I can somehow get my "mum-in-law" to maybe appreciate all these crafty things I make. Cause she ain't used to people doing that kind of thing. And it'd just be nice if sometimes she would comment on things I make.

Not because I want her to ooh and ahh over everything I do... just... Just to get some kind of recognition: that she actually notices. That would mean a lot to me.

My mum suggested that I make something for her. And I was racking my brain to think of something for her - cause she's not the kind of person that wears lots of colourful jewelry or other things - but then it hit me: she wears aprons!

So an apron it had to be. And I think she liked it! Especially because she's quite petite, so she finds it difficult to find aprons that aren't too big. But this one should fit her pretty well. Although she didn't try it on - we were in a restaurant when she opened the present. ;-)

Perhaps a small bridge has been built between her world and my crafty world??
