[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 5/9/18

Wed May 9 23:59:23 UTC 2018

Kaila, thanks for sharing with us.

You will have to tell us more about pineneedle baskets.

I'm sure you will have fun with the looming lessons with your daughter.

Gardening is an activity that both my Mom and I enjoy.  I have learned so much from her.

What is your favorite hand crafted gift made by your child?

I don’t think I have a favorite item from my children, both of them have made me items out of salt dough that they handcrafted, dried out and then painted. My daughter has made me bracelets and necklaces And they both made me cards as well as other crafts. I think I still have every single thing they have made me.

What type of things have you made for your mother?

I made my mom a few bath bombs for Mother’s Day this year, I’ve made her blankets and a water bottle holder, I have made baskets out of Pineneedles they’re very time-consuming but look beautiful when complete.

Did your mother teach you a craft and if so what was it?
My mom does quilting and scrapbooking. I’ve asked my mom to show me how to use my sewing machine but she hasn’t had a chance to do so yet, it’s been about two years so I’m not sure that’s ever going to happen. 

Do you and your mother craft together and if so what kind of projects do you enjoy sharing?

My mom and I don’t really craft together but we do garden together.
I am planning on teaching my daughter how to loom knit this summer though, I’m really excited for this.

What words of wisdom would you most want to share with your child?

Live your life in a way that makes you happy.  Just make sure at the end of the day you are proud of yourself.

What would you like to say or do for your mother to express your love?

I feel that the best gift you can give someone is your time, so that’s what I will give my mom. 

Thank you, 

Kaila
