It's only a month late...

Mum, if you're reading this (which she isn't, because, well, really no one is, certainly not my family - who are unaware of its existence), I'm posting your bithday present tomorrow!  This little bag took me several days to make...I had an idea in mind, and saw a pic in a Japanese craft book, but didn't follow any sort of pattern...I kind of made it up as I went along.  As a result it probably took 100 times longer than it should have...


My Mum isn't crafty or into sewing or making stuff, so I'm going to fill it with nail polish, emery boards, all that sort of fingernail stuff.  I hope she likes it, she's inordinately proud of her nails, and takes really good care of them.  Usually, when I give her something I've made, she says "That's very pretty, and creative", in a sort of teacherly voice as though I'm showing her something I've made and am seeking approval, instead of actually giving her something I made (with love) for her to have and to use - wether or not she thinks it's  "creative".  I have a hunch that is her euphemism for "not my taste and I'll have to remember to get this out whenever you come over.."

I did however take her taste into consideration - I used red (which she loves, and I can't abide), and florals (ditto), and made it as girly and feminine as I possibly could.
