You can wear them many different ways. Wrap them around a couple of times depending on how long you would like them or tie a knot in the front!

Happy Mother’s Day to Me

I have the sweetest and most thoughtful daughter, EVER! She ALWAYS buys the most perfect presents for me, and now that she’s sewing, I get beautiful handmade presents TOO!

This Mother’s Day I got the cutest sewing machine cover, handmade by Beth, of course! It is the most thoughtful gift. Beth knows sewing machines should be covered to keep dust out, and she knows I don’t like messing with the hard plastic cover that goes with mine, SO…

she made me this cover!

sewing machine cover sewing machine cover

Isn’t it cute!!!

I LOVE it! If you look really close, there are LOTS and LOTS of frogs and toads on the fabric. We both love frogs and toads!

And along with it, I got…

ALL of this!

mother's day gifts

Two oven mitts (which I asked for), a pattern that I showed her on Etsy months ago, and two boxes of baggies.

The reason for the baggies is a funny one. She HATES that I wash out the larger gallon-size baggies and reuse them. I got the habit from my mom, and it just stuck with me. Now if the baggie is really greasy or something, then it gets tossed. Anyway, to be funny, she got me two boxes of baggies.

simplicity pattern 7041

The pattern is really special because I am fairly certain that my mom used a similar pattern to make clothes for me when I was little. Hopefully, one day I can use this pattern to make some clothes for Beth’s children. Smile

Hope you enjoyed my little Mother’s Day post and hope you enjoy your day today! Have a good one!

Turquoise Purple Flower Pin

This Turquoise and Purple Scrappy Felt Flower Pin Brooch will look fabulous on your favorite sweater or pinned to your favorite purse. The color palette is Purple Gumdrop. This pin is very versatile and can be worn year-round!

Our felt flower pin brooches measure approximately 2-1/2" long and 2-1/2" wide. (Please note, our felt pins are handmade, unique, and one of a kind so the size and shape can vary slightly.)

purple turquoise flower pin

Our pins are carefully hand-cut from various pieces of felt and hot glued together to form the cute flower shape. A stainless steel pin is attached to the back of the petals so you can easily transfer the pin to your different outfits, handbags, hairbands, jackets, scarves, and hats. The possibilities are endless. They also make great gifts for teachers, neighbors, friends and family! Since the pins are made from felt, the entire flower is fairly lightweight and won’t distort the fabric you pin it to and the layering of petals gives the piece a stunning dimensionality.
