A few days ago, Laura's Gramma, my Mom, came down to decorate Laura's room with her. It was part of Mom's birthday present to her. The two of them got busy right away painting wall decorations and sewing curtains and pillows. Mom had brought a whole bunch of light green material and a can of spray paint because one of Laura's favorite things is turtles.
Once they had done a few things and talked through what they were going to do, they hopped in the car to buy some curtain rods. They came back with the rods, plus a cool mozaic mirror they'd found.
They worked very hard all morning so at 12:30 I made them lunch; grilled cheese sandwiches and soup. After lunch they got right to it again. Mom had dinner plans so they were on a time limit to get everything done.
They put up curtains on the window and also a set over her closet. We'd previously painted Laura's room a light purple and the green looked perfect with it.
They got it all done in time for Mom to leave for her dinner that Mom and Dad were invited to. Mom had originally wanted to come down the day before and then stay the night but Laura had to work that day.
It was so neat to see the two of them doing something that they love, together. They are both very crafty ladies and love making things. They each always have some sort of project that they are working on and it was special to see them working on something together. I hope that they can get together with their ideas on other occasions and see what they can come up with.
