Have I become one of *those* mothers?

February 9th, 2010

You know the type- sends in all sorts of stuff with the child…

So for the boy’s birthday I made individual cake slices out of felt & batting.  It was easier then trying to find cake/ treats that would acceptable for the boy to take to school (school is a nut-free zone and there are kids with various feeding issues & delays).  Now it is valentine’s day… most normal parents are happy just buying the box of valentines and leaving it at that.

Not me.

*sighs*

I present the heart pillow:

It was actually fairly easy to make, the most annoying part was doing the applique stitch with the sewing machine.  (since I had never done it before).  I will try to get better pictures taken before Friday… if I can find my camera battery charger… sighs…
