Mothers Day is fast approaching, and I had decided earlier this year not to cross stitch anything for either Mamma Stitchaholic or my MIL. Of course, now I haven't the foggiest idea what to do. I don't like to buy generic presents, or do anything normal for that matter. So, what's a girl to do? I thought maybe I'll put together personalized gift baskets, but then what do I put inside? Mamma Stitchaholic loves Victorian things as much as I do, so she'd be easy. Mom in Law, well she's trickier. She's a nurse, loves to camp, and loves her dog Molly. Molly is my dear Franky's Aunt. She too is a golden retriever. Frankly, it's Molly's fault I even like dogs.
So with those dilemmas, what's a girl to do? Do I give MIL a dog themed basket? Do I put together a vintage basket for Mamma Stitchaholic? And should Aunt Molly get one too? With those questions weighing heavily on my mind, I fear I'll spend the next few days sleepless. Mr. Stitchaholic is useless when it comes to things like this. Franky likes all my ideas but doesn't have any suggestions for specifics. And I can't call Mamma Stitchaholic to get her crafty advice either. My sister, we will call her Miss Not-a-Stitchaholic, doesn't have a phone and hasn't been logged on to Facebook or AIM all day. Perhaps I should show up at her apartment and hope she's there.
Well, it's time to go and drive twenty minutes to my local shopping area. At least there I'll have Michaels, Walmart, target, and some other useful stores. Perhaps I should stop for a beer to try to get my creative juices flowing.
