Those of you who have known me for a while know that I LOVE anything with cherries on it: clothes, jewelry, mugs, bags, glasses, you name it. My mom got bought me a fuzzy cherry print sweater in Israel a few years ago and I absolutely love it. I got very good use out of it and since I lost 27 pounds, it is no longer flattering on me. Today I decided it was time to retire it…as a sweater.

My mom has been crafty all her life, she made her own clothes and she made all of my school clothes, until I got a uniform. She has won ribbons and received millions of accolades for her artistic ability. I figured if I wanted to keep the sweater who better than my mom to recycle it.

I now have a new cherry print throw pillow and leg warmers thanks to my mom’s handiwork. I am very sentimental when it comes to certain gifts and this sweater was one of those gifts; I am very glad I still have it.

Thank you, Mommy, for doing this for me. I LOVE it! 🍒

Toujours, Tara
