When my mother’s birthday popped up on the horizon, I thought–what a perfect opportunity to finally try to make these. This post will be a spoiler for her if she reads my blog as often as I think she does. Surprise Mom! I hope you like them. Sandy, my husband’s, response was typical–what is that for?? But, my husband tends to think that way–all about the practical, none about the aesthetic. I think they are beautiful.

Now, heaven forbid, I leave it there. I can’t! After getting through the Northern Lights motif, I wanted to create my own motif to cover a stone. That way, I can provide a pattern/tutorial for you all to follow. This is my journey with most things these days.
So I worked to figure out my own pattern (okay, two) and added a little twist. You’ll just have to come back to find out what it is I did! I’ll have step by step photos to make it as clear as I can.
