There will be a family wedding this summer. Older daughter is the bride and younger daughter is a bridesmaid. We found the bridesmaid dress. It has a beautiful hand beaded, flowing design all over it.
But there is a problem - I counted 71 places where the beads have come off.
The bridesmaid pointed out the problem to the cashier and got a further discount on the price then confidently said her mother could fix it.
I looked at the little pack of extra beads attached to the dress's tag.
Hmmm, not enough for the repairs.
There are 4 different beads in the mix.
I went into my bead stash. No matches.
I didn't realise my bead stash was so inadequate.
I spied this beaded place mat under a plant pot and found 2 of the beads in it. The dress has priority. The place mat will just be a little smaller when I have finished.
Oh dear, now I have to go to a bead store to find the 2 missing beads.
The things I will do for my children!

I too have experienced the "My mom can fix/make/do that" moment(s)…how trusting our kids are, eh? Even though mine are 29 (son, in June) and 33 (daughter)…
Blessings for success with the beads and beading! And may that wedding be all the bride and her family have dreamed of, with much happiness for years to come. :-)
Thank you Margaret for your wedding blessings. So true about that trust in what mothers can do.
We have another wedding in our family this June.
I think I said I would do some alterations for the bride - but cant remember what exactly.
Congratulations!
Congratulations again to you two. A wonderful time for family celebration.
What a lovely story. The trust our children put in us, well beyond when they are young is a wonderful testament to our love. Wishing you all the happiest of memories.
Thank you Laura.
