mothers' day project!

[casualbird]

alright, this is a BIG SECRET, so none of you can go telling my mom, okay?

i have a pothos plant whom i love with every fiber of my soul. i've kept her for years and she just keeps truckin along. i have to repot her every six months or so because she is so big and strong!

i live at university, and i think my mother misses me a lot. i come home for the weekends, but she's always calling me during the week, always planning what we're going to do when we're together. so i want to give her something that she can keep and fuss over that will remind her of me.

so i'm going to take a cutting of my plant, wait for it to root, then plant it and give it to her! i'm planning on decorating the pot that i will give it to her in--does anyone have cool ideas as to how to do that? i was thinking of maybe painting it or knitting a cozy for it. but i only have two weeks!

oh man that sounds super cute! I saw one time that if you drill holes in the bottom of a teapot, water wouldn't stagnate and it could be a planter pot?
or! if it's a regular pot, does your uni have a mascot you could paint on the side maybe? my history of school mascots has included a tree and a bug, so those were less cool lol
this sounds like a great idea tho, I'm sure she's going to love it :D

oooh, i like that idea!!! i might just have to go out to the antique shops and see what i can find!

our mascot is kind of scary lol.

yeah school mascots can be pretty weird, hogwarts def has the right aesthetic down!
and also my little sister's in an arts major so sometimes we end up using those tools for our projects, so idk bout your campus but if someone even has a sharp electric drill around, it could be handy!

i think i'll be able to get my dirty little fingers on a drill! thanks!
