My DIL has an Etsy shop. One of her pieces was chosen to be in this months BRIDE'S Magazine! Woot Woot!! I am so proud of her! Go take a peek. http://burlapandblue.com/2011/03/...
Also, as part of her shop, she writes a blog. Often she posts tutorials. A really cool one is for making (sewing) a beautiful flower pillow. Here is the link for that post: http://burlapandblue.com/2011/03/...Thank you all for allowing me to sing her praises, just this once!

Thank you Shirlene. I'm glad to hear you got lots of responses on her pillow link. It's so beautiful!
211079just beautiful. I too love that you love your DIL and are proud of her. My MIL has always been difficult and I am determined not to repeat the process!
DIL's are given to us by God to love. My DIL isn't crafty but she's a wonderful wife and mother. Look to Him and He will show us the beauty of the person, I believe.

169064How Neat! What is more nice than even the pillow is your relationship. I'm having quite a time building a relationship with my DIL. She doesn't like her mom at all, and I think she's putting all her issues with her mom on me. I just keep trying and treating her nice. So, great for you for having a good relationship. I'll check out her store and her blog! Thanks for sharing. God Bless you both! Jan
I love your avatar!
Wow, I went to her site! She is very talented! That is definitely sewing related! Thanks for sharing the project with us. WOW!

I really know what you mean, and I'd love to have a good relationship with mine. I don't think she likes home made gifts either. I keep making things for her, nice things I believe, and I never get ANY feedback. Not even on the beautiful quilt I made for the baby. I just wish I knew what to do wot win her over. I don't know what I've done.

Thank you, Sewdoctor. I loved my MIL very much, too. I guess I learned from her how to be a good MIL. But I know many women who do not care for their DIL and vice versa. It is very sad, and makes for a sad life.
4039718403OH! I have seen that before, that is so clever. Tell her "well done".
Alice.
