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/2011/03/24/brides-magazine-feature-and-giveaway/

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/2011/03/14/shabby-flower-pillow-a-tutorial/
Thank you all for allowing me to sing her praises, just this once!

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.

How 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 <br />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!

just 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.
