Best Mother's Day ever!

Mother's Day is one of those holidays that just can't be celebrated in one day. I want to celebrate Mother's Day everyday. I believe that being a better mother myself, makes for a happier family, happier home life. This is what I strive for each and every day. I want to be the best mother for my children. To laugh with them, to love them, to cherish the good with the bad.

Happy Mother's Day

I am so thankful for my own mother who taught me how to love and to be a giver. It's my mother that gave me my first sewing machine(s), taught me to bake bread, to cook, to garden, went for walks with me before I could even walk! Took me across the street to feed the neighbors Shetland ponies.

I made my sweet Momma this vase cover, that I fell in love with, over here. It's a great way to use up your gorgeous scraps that you just can't throw away. I ironed my fabric pieces onto fusible interfacing. (The stiff, heavy kind of interfacing.)

Flowers for Momma

I hope all you mother's had the best Mother's Day weekend!
