Mother's Day


Happy Mother's Day to all those wonderful Mums out there! It's Mother's Day here and I spent the day with my mother. This year I gave her a bunch of flowers and a decorative small satin cushion covered with thick lace and a satin fabric rose on the top. It can be hung or placed on a table as a decoration. She absolutely loved it.


I bought this cushion in my favourite gift shop Wrappings. It's made by Queensland wholesalers Miss Rose, Sister Violet. They create the most gorgeous giftware and homeware items with a real vintage, feminine look.

I also managed to get some stitching done last night as I'd hoped. I've completed the roof on the house, so now it's on to the rest of the design.

Moonlit Garden - 9 May 2009

The cooler weather here has left me a little less motivated with my needlework. Plus I've been busier lately too. I find I stitch more during our Summer months. Moonlit Garden is a lovely design though, and I'm enjoying working on it. Slow as I am at the moment, I'll still keep at it.

Happy Mother's Day!

It's Mother's Day today and I just wanted to wish all the wonderful mothers out there a lovely day. I haven't been able to see my mother today because she's on holiday in Tasmania and will get back tomorrow. I hope to see her tomorrow night though after I get home from work. I'll go and visit her and give her the present I bought. Thought I'd take a picture of it wrapped because it looks so lovely with the bow I put on it.

Mum's Mother's Day present


I ended up getting her a book on an Australian gardener born in the late 1800's named Edna Walling by Sarah Hardy. The book is called The Unusual Life Of Edna Walling and is about her interesting life as a landscape gardener. Mum loves her style of gardening.





Along with the book I got her a cross stitch chart which includes buttons and thread by Erica Michaels called Button, Button. She'll be able to pick out a small piece of fabric of her choice left over from her stash to do this one.



I've also popped in her gift a Mary Engelbreit collectible needle card called 'For You Mother', which has 25 assorted needles and a needle threader inside.

A selection of things which I know she'll love. Happy Mother's Day Mum!
