The Mama and the Glue Gun

There once was a Mama, and crafty and artistic she was not. She admired the handiwork of her fellow Mamas, how they could whip up curtains and pillows and dresses, how they would teach their children to sketch portraits and model architectural wonders with mere polymer clay.

She made grand attempts to make that crafty love flow through her veins, to come as naturally to her as her love for buttery biscuits. But, she'd always forget some key material, or fail to find the pom-poms and wiggle eyes. She secretly muttered, "I hate glitter," as she perused craft projects, distracted by dreamy visions of the next theological tome she'd tackle alongside her children.

And then she met a glue gun...

Yes, this Mama is a bit proud of herself and her little cottage-inspired creation. The secret is to not turn anything over, lest the attempts to wrap this foam like a Christmas package are exposed. It's a start, and maybe one day, my daughters I will learn how to do this with needle and thread.

With love,
Trisha
