Mother’s Day...

Today is Mother’s Day and as usual I have made the two mothers cards from the same collection - it saves me having to kit up the threads twice - clever huh?

Here’s my mum’s...

and here is Dave’s mum’s...

Sorry for the crap photos 

I was meant to be at work today but yesterday I woke up with the most horrendous stomach bug.  I dragged myself to work but was promptly sent home again and because I work with food I wasn’t allowed to go in today.  I wish I could say I’ve had a nice day, but I haven’t.

Happy Mother's Day...

Today is Mother's Day in the UK.  Having no children of my own I don't get to be spoilt and there are no flowers for me today but I do spoil my Mum and Mother-In-Law.

I made my Mum this card

and I bought her a cushion, some chocolates and made her this fob...

the fabric it's sitting on is the backing fabric.

Now, on to Dave's Mum's card...

Something nice, bright and simple I thought.

Just a quiet day at home today, roast chicken and cauliflower cheese and I think I might bake a lemon sponge.

Ooops!

I totally forgot to blog about the Mother's Day cards that I stitched. So here they are three weeks late! The first one is the one I did for Dave's Mum and the one below is the one I made for my mum and I wish I'd stitched the cage in a different colour now so it showed up more but ho-hum, never mind, it's done now. Nobody seemed to mind!

Mother's Day Cards

I always stitch the mother's the same cards, not identical but from the same magazine charts as I only have to kit up once! These are the ones I made for them this year. Hope all you mothers had a lovely day on Sunday.

Mum's Mother's Day Card

This is the card I made for my mum for Mother's Day.

Dave's Mum's Mother's Day Card ...

Same collection as my Mum's card. Not overly Mother's Dayish but it gets the point across.

Mum's Mother's Day Card...

Here's the card I made for Mum for Mother's Day. I love this one - so retro!

Mum's Mother's Day Present...

Being a huge fan of the Togmeister I just had to stitch this for my Mum for Mother's Day. Dave says the eyes are a bit scary... I have to agree!
