Ode to Mothers and Daughters
Mothers and daughters
share a bond like no other
as one day they’ll become
friends for each other.

My daughter, Kara, loves to decorate and so do I. And since I’m busy writing a 50,000 word first draft of a novel during NaNoWriMo (my second year doing this crazy rewarding challenge), I thought I’d feature some photographs that showcase her creativity. The above picture is of the corner of her mirror.

Kara creates her own masterpieces with acrylic paints.
~
~
She makes most of her own decorations.
~
~
~
Regularly she’ll scrounge from my fabric stash and create artsy pillows.
Kara stenciled the fox onto this one.
I’m so proud of her.
~

Kara says autumn is her favorite season.
~
~
But I suspect you already figured that one out–right?
~
~
~
She even raids my canning cupboard.
~
~
~
I love her art.
~
~
Even the light switches aren’t safe.
Pumpkin spice is nice.

I suggested this idea of wrapping lights around her standing lamp.
Wait a minute… that lamp looks familiar.

I love having a daughter.
My two sons are awesome too cause they only raid my fridge.

Did you see my other post yet about the squirrel I had a close encounter with?
Here’s the link.
Are you doing NaNoWriMo this year?

love your daughter’s work! I would love to have any of her creations in my house. She has real talent. I hope she goes into a field where she’s able to use her wonderful creativity. The world needs warm heart filled creations like hers.
Thank you, dear Linda. I’ll pass on your words of encouragement to her. She plans on pursuing Fine Arts. I couldn’t be happier with her choice.
So lovely… what a wonderful ode, Wendy. Your daughter is creative and lovely picture of her.
Thank you, dear Iris. I admire her adventurous spirit. When she wants to do something, she finds a way and does it well.
My very best to her, Wendy. Love, Iris
Kara really captures the season! I can see her having her own store one day. Thanks for sharing!
Sara, I thought the same thing after she gave me the grand tour of her newly redecorated room. 🙂
Hi Wendy, you are very blessed to have a beautiful and a talented daughter. I like all the creative projects! 🙂
Thank you, Tracy. She wants to take over decorating more areas of the house. She makes Christmas fun too.
Aww, so sweet! She got a hair cut!! It’s darling. I know you are so proud of her.
Shelli, I shed a tear as I snipped off her ponytail (as per her request). I’m glad now I wasn’t able to talk her out of it… she loves having short hair. It’s small stuff. <3
I am just now starting to appreciate the gift of having daughters (Monday our adoption will be final!). Thanks for this beautiful tribute. What a wonderful mom you are for encouraging her (and us) in this way!
Heidi, what a joyous occasion for your growing family. May God bless you with overflowing grace and love as you embrace your new forever children. I’ve been so touched by the bits and pieces of your wonderful story. We had our two sons first and then our daughter arrived as the icing on an already beautiful cake.
~ Rejoicing with you. ~
Beautiful colours. I love her art too.
Thank you, Diane. She has an eye for all things artsy, and I’ve always encouraged her to be her own unique self.
She’s so beautiful and talented. I love her taste, you must be one proud mum!
🙂
Thank you, Seyi. I’m most proud of her when she does what she likes and not what’s trendy for her age group to be doing. 🙂
She definitely has her mother’s talent and creativity!
Rhonda, she teaches me as much as I do her. Thank you, dear friend.
Yes mine does too. Having a daughter is a real Blessing!
Thank you for sharing beautiful Kara with us and her creativeness too! I am so blessed!
She brightens up our home with her creative energy. And she’s fun to shop with too.
What lovely work she does!
I’m tickled pink she likes art as much as her dad and I do. My husband and I are her biggest cheerleaders.
How lovely Kara is, and her creativity is too. 🙂
It’s fun having a girl in the house too. I miss her when she’s away, but that’s when I dig the deepest into my writing world (like last night). <3
These autumn masterpieces are just precious!
Blessings,
Theresa <3
Thank you, dear Theresa, for the thoughtful “prompt” on Facebook. <3
Thank you for the post! My daughter is 11 and exactly the same with her creativity and desire to decorate. This was a good reminder for me to Let Her! 🙂 She loves to put her special touch all over the house. And I’m reminded to know that it’s a lovely artful mess – and one day it’ll blossom into masterpieces
Melissa, I like your words, “lovely artful mess”. I’m going to remember that the next time it happens at my house. 🙂 Yes, those artful times do “blossom into masterpieces”. I’m glad I didn’t sweat the messes. Blessings and nice to meet you.
Kara is as creative as her mum. Beautiful art Wendy.
Thank you, Kath. I’ll pass on the praise to her. xo
Daughters are a special gift that keeps on giving.

I agree, Sue. Today she helped me pick out decorations and supplies for
Christmas. 🙂
Such a lovely post. Your daughter has a wonderful gift. Her work is truly inspiring.
Thank you, Julie. I’ll pass the compliment on to her. She bought some more canvas and paint today while we were out shopping. Yay. 🙂
