With Mothers Day approaching I was wondering what am I going to do for My Mum. She is 83 and lives in a small unit so she doesn't have the room for very much so I always try to think of something that she is going to some use out of but not going to take up space if possible. Mum has always had a facination for shopping bags there is always a better one than the last one she brought but having said that there is one bag she has that she has always been consistently using for many years, so I thought OK I'll create a bag along the same line ( the other one is looking a little bit old looking), so I created a black, red and white one. She loves red and she likes (how do I say this tactfully) She likes old things, like scenes from the good old days. So I machine embroidered 4 outback scenes from "Glenn Harris .... Outback Embroidery Designs" onto it 2 on each side.
Also Mum has a very large European Pillow and because it is so large it is very hard to buy a pillow slip that will fit it. She has recently made herself one but Mum isn't very creative, well not anymore. She has always been a very hard worker and just never seems to stop although she is slowing down a little bit now due to age and she had 2 knee replacements about 10 years ago and 1 of them is starting to play up. Anyway, she is a special Mum and I really hope she enjoys what I made for her for Mothers Day 2009.
