Yesterday, as I went to school to collect the boys, I was holding my car
keys instead of shoving them into my bag. I usually put my handbag on the
buggy, but I’m trying to get Bean to walk sensibly with me (rather than run off
which is what he normally does grrr), so I left my bag at home in order to be
more hands-free. I glanced at my keys and realised that the photo of the boys
made me an official 'Mummy', if you know what I mean. I don’t know many parents
these days, who don’t have photos of their kids on the keys. Isn’t that odd? I don’t
know when it happens, it just does. I think I got a photo pack when the Tempest
lady came to our Mums’n’Tots group and there happened to be little photos and I
happened to have a spare key ring for it to go in.
So anyway, that lead me to think about the concept of the contents of a
person's pockets or a woman's handbag says a lot about who they are, and I
reckon keys are the same. So I thought I photograph mine.
So there's my car key of course, still quite new to me as I only got my licence
a year ago. My house key, keys to my Mum’s, a butterfly trolley thingy, Tesco clubcard
swiper (love Tesco), the photo of my boys and a monkey my mum bought me donkeys
years ago (it was in my Xmas stocking one year, no idea when. It's being washed
as I type since looking at it made me realise quite how dirty it is).
So, there you have it. What do your keys say about you?
Random projects by an average 'have-a-go-Sally', hoping to inspire you to get creative too, be it in the kitchen, in your craft room or just on that tiny space you found on the living room coffee table. Look out for regular posts; Monday Makes (crafty projects), Tempting Tuesdays (baking experiments), Wreck it Wednesdays (Wreck This Journal fun), #tbt (sharing old craft projects), Sticky Saturdays (messy play and crafty projects with children) and #SensorySunday (sensory play with baby Zander).
