Geez, I just get to feeling really good about myself. I have my craft room looking homey and I got an iron on tshirt done for my daughter (with “I love Chocolate” on it – met with squeals of delight this morning!) and then I get my morning email and THIS is in it (see picture stage right).
SIGH!
I think I’m a pretty good Mom, I run a business, do needlework, mend clothes, do fancy iron ons onto unloved t-shirts. But she wants MORE! What I really hate is she makes this look effortless… “oh, by the way, here’s a LOVELY pumpkin idea you can just whip together this afternoon between houseguests, dinner time and helping the kids with homework”.
Ok, I know I’m taking it too personally, and maybe this isn’t as tough to do as it looks, but I was fairly well resigned to painting faces on the pumpkin this year and I was going to be happy with it. And then darn Martha goes and raises the bar.
Oh here are the instructions if you’re an overachiever. And by the way, you need TWO pumpkins.
Is it too early for a glass of wine?
