Mother's Day
So I have a voice mail from Mum saying her Mother's Day present arrived, so unless she's faking me out, I can now post what I made and sent to her, along with Miss Lynn's little box of treasures. I made this as part of the Artist Class Garden Party. The workshop was by tarnished and tattered . The photo is of my Grandma and Mum. I also used a tea-dyed hanky that my great-grandma crocheted the edges of. One of the reasons I've really enjoyed getting involved in this artistic community, starting with Silver Bella, is that my Mum and I can enjoy it together, even though we're on opposite sides of the Pacific: we exchange blogs, we have created embroidery samplers to go along with Amy's 39 Squares (mine's in progress and is meant to cover the entire year. Mum's done two so far.) And I love it, because it makes me feel so much closer to my Mum. Miss Lynn of Create...Breathe... made this beautiful box as part of a swap, and then she made an extra one for Hait...
