Well, for me it is over, but for many of you reading it is still Mother’s Day in your timezone…
I was blessed to be here for Mother’s Day, in Arabia it would have passed over like just another day.
DD Elizabeth got me these pressies:
I love the mug in my two favorite colors. I think I will take it to craft this morning and use it 🙂
Eldest son Dan got me these:
Can you guess they are my favorite chocolates?!
And my new son Ben (I adopted him last week) made me this:
Ben is one of Dan’s housemates and is trying to be the favorite son 🙂 He bought a 3D printer from Aldi a few days ago which seems to be the new in thing for IT Uni geeks to have. I thought it was useless until he made me this little sewing machine and I googled all the sewing stuff it can make!!!! I have told him I want a thread holder, so let’s see….
It was hard to take a pic of, but it is tiny and fits nicely in my little shopping trolley!
As for my own mum… I was putting binding on one of my ufo’s and she took a liking to the quilt, so I told her she could have it for mother’s day 🙂
Here it is in her snug:
Well time to head off to Monday Craft… I was there last week, proof here on Shez’s blog that I actually sewed a bit too! I am still in a bad sleep routine, you would think after two weeks it would have settled down, but what can I say? Old age 🙂 By the time I am fully adjusted I will be heading back to Arabia – lol!
I’ll be back soon with some more things I have been doing…

What good little children you have!! And I am sure your mum was a very happy camper! Glad one of us is sewing. Cross your fingers I can get to it tomorrow.
love your pressies from your kids–
because I am on duty this week end and can’t leave the building-
my kids are taking out for a nice dinner this coming Saturday–
And with your mom’s gift it is nice that she told you she liked that lovely quilt as then you didn’t have to ‘guess’ what she might like!!!
enjoy the moments, di
Hi Joy, it is lovely to read that you had a nice Mother’s day – I see some spoiling went on so that was great! Wow the things they can do with 3-D printers – amazing isn’t it?! The quilt you made your mum is lovely -and how nice that she loved it before it was hers! I hope your sleeping patterns have settled down by now; time zones can be tricky things to deal with!
Love the quilt, it’s stunning. The little machine is so very cute. I got that exact same box of Ferroro chocolates, downside is Lindt is my favourite chocolate. Hugs, xx
Nice presents for Mother’s Day. Those are one of my favourite chocolates too. Ours in North America was last weekend. I got a fancy card from one daughter (she lives far away) and a new cookbook from another daughter.
now I really now just how small that little sewing machine is, as I know how small the shopping trolley is!!
Nice gifts, both given and received! I guess i missed this post while I was at the beach. Glad to hear you’re working on those UFO’s! I had a finish this week, too!
How sweet of you to adopt such a useful young man. LOL A friend of mine’s son uses one in his work. 2015 was the tenth anniversary of our shoebox swap and he made a little plastic shoebox for all of us. The lid comes off and it says 2015 on the side, and it was big enough for two tiny Hershey candy bars. LOL Or a candy and a charm square folded up. It was fun, but not as useful as a sewing machine! Nice mother’s day all around you.
