It was quick, clean and fun.<div>Whenever I think of medicine of any kind, I think of my grandmother. She was a bit of a hoarder, and whenever she got and finished a prescription, she'd save the bottle "just in case"(At least, I remember something to that extent... Lots of left over pill bottles in the attic). I'm pretty sure some pretty valuable things were saved in pill bottles and stored away by my grandmother in her later years. </div><div>Either way, I sometimes think of those orange pill bottles as treasure keepers, may they be for medical salvation, or special little treasures to be locked away.</div><div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/marykristinillustration/5753784608/" title="Daily Pattern - Aspirin by Mary Kristin Nelson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2523/5753784608_891cf76fd8.jpg" width="499" height="500" alt="Daily Pattern - Aspirin" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Mary</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div>mnelsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09318877747767785888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039098405802835497.post-76657655927951438162011-05-20T09:28:00.001-07:002011-05-20T09:32:56.909-07:00Daily Pattern - Suitcase...or purses... or bags, really! <div>I did this one really quickly because I was finishing the french pastry pattern that was meant for yesterday. </div><div>I had fun with this.
