Mothering Sunday

to all mums on this special day.

I've had a few quiet moments today taking time to think of those that have angel mums like my DH. He bought some lovely pink carnations for us to have at home to remember his mum Betty. Also, i took time to think of those mums like me that have angel children.

When i was looking in the card shop for a card for my own mum, this lovely one jumped off the shelf at me. DH thought it was really cute so we bought it for Amy. I reduced the size of the baby scan photo and stuck it inside with some lovely Happy Mothers Day ribbon. Amy thought it was brilliant and loved the surprise.


I've finished off the cardigan using the wool that Barb sent in the baby box a few weeks ago.

The lovely pink heart buttons were in my stash box just waiting to be added to something special.

I gave it to my 'mum-to-be' today as well as the lovely card when she came to visit.

I hope you've all had an enjoyable Mothering Sunday and spent time with the ones you love.

    That is one of the prettiest baby cardigans I've ever seen, I love the fluted bottom edge.
    Someone at the card company definitely had a brainwave there, I've never seen a card like that before
