Where are the days when a fella "asked" a gal to be his date to the Prom? No more...now it is a "presentation" and the more different, the better! I spend most of my free time creating cards and suggested a very, unusual fun card for my son to make for the young lady to open, but Nooooo, my son wanted me to pull out my stained glass equipment and let him make something. I gave him about 6 creations to choose from since I was going to make "him" do it, but it also meant me staying with him every minute. Between pulling out glass to look at and getting cut, cutting the glass and getting cut, sanding the glass and fragments flying and/or the soldering gun melting lead to hot liquid, I didn't know which one was going to make me a nervous wreck with his hands behind these tools.
As you can see below, he chose a butterfly rooter. Luckily, I still had some test tubes from school supplies I kept. He was so excited upon finishing it, I barely had time to take a decent picture before he was "out the door". What you DON'T see are the beautiful peach rose buds that replaced the azalea blossoms that are in this picture and the tag asking her to the Prom!
Only 2 stems of rose clusters would fit into the test tube, so I won the remaining flowers as the left over prize. I put them with the azalea blossom and made me a pretty bouquet....I felt I deserved it...haha

Gorgeous! He did a wonderful job, and the bouquet you "inherited" was well deserved! Way to go, Momma! :0)
ReplyDeleteHe has the magic touch like his Mama! I hope she said YES!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story, I didn't know they did things like that, wow, things were a lot easier in my day :O)! I cannot see how she could refuse that masterpiece, what a great young man! Oh, your bouquet is quite lovely..well earned lol!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out so pretty! And your reward is pretty too!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHe did an awesome job! (Must take after his mom in the artistic department.)
ReplyDeleteJohn Tesh was talking on his radio show last night about the elaborate "prom proposals" that are the norm now.
No doubt she was charmed by his talent and creativity. Cely this is the first I heard about your stained glass talents. I know your a teacher and have amazing talents but stained glass...you can do anything I bet. Craft on...
ReplyDeletePretty much would guarantee an acceptance, IMHO ! It's wonderful, Cely, and certainly worth the worry and angst. :-D Congratulations on having such a creative and talented son.
ReplyDeleteHello friend!! long time no stop by, I had lots to catch up. I see you are still at it and what beautiful creations you have made. I hope this thing with prom doesn't stick I have a 4 yo and I am not as talented as you LOL
