it's mother's day

 

I think this card says it all, I thought it would give mum a giggle.
Inside it reads ''blame, praise.....your call"
we will be off to mum's for lunch today with food in tow. Meals on wheels it is.
I made mum's favourite dessert.. trifle

I did play with some crafting too this week. 
The next block of Sweet Stitches arrived this week. Not the one I thought would arrive but it is very welcome nonetheless. It is traced and ready to go.
I started to put some of the green stepping stone hexies together.

and just for some encouragement I had a play with the design floor to see how my border would look. After buying some more cotton for the green applique I finished up the first border and have started on the second one which I prepared this week.

Just as I imagined it.... gotta love that.
Hope you all have a great mother's Day!
