But, I began to realize she has a passion. It's a passion for crafting. A passion she passed on to me. Something we share. And something I can support with gifts for her.
It's become a tradition now. She looks forward to what craft supply organizer or tote bag I'll be giving her. That's for her birthday every year. Plus, I tend to choose some fun interesting things to add in to it.
Like unusual yarns for her crochet crafting, and ribbons for her to use in tying up her own handcrafted gifts. The little extra or unusual supplies that I can include in her craft supply organizers or tote bags are things she loves and uses in her crafting.
Many times, I have made her something handcrafted myself. Last year, I made an insert for a basket that she had. The basket was large and round. She never quite knew what to do with it. So she tended to leave it sit empty on a side table in her hall. The insert I made for it was something of an organizer. It had a bunch of inside pockets and two outside pockets that hung over the side.
That basket, that she never knew what to do with, became an organizer for her crafting projects. She now keeps that basket by her family room chair. It holds her current project and she loves it.
To tell you the truth, I have no idea what she put on that hall side table. But my own handcrafted gift turned into a treasured item for my mom. It was a great gift idea.
