Getting Started | DIY WATERCOLOR PILLOWS

Ever since I was a little girl I have answered to the name of Motte. This nickname was given to me by my parents and although I have had a fair share of nicknames (I can think of nine just now ranging from logical deductions from my birth name to bizarre associations which frankly, I am not in favor of), this one really stuck.

Yes, every family get-together starts with �May I still call you Motte?� � �Are you too old to be called Motte?� � �Is it ok if I��

It never bugged me much (See what I did here? Oh wait, you can�t, I haven�t explained. Just stick with me!). It was only when my family moved to Germany that I realized that it was not the most favorable name.
