Lost and found

Last week I was thinking about my lace and how I put it all aside. Shame, but I really don't have the time to do it all. And than I thought of a certain piece of work I created a while ago (must be 3 years now!) so I went to look for it but it was nowhere to be found. I thought it was time to frame it and put it on the wall.

 

Today I had a visit from my mother-in-law with a package under her arm. It was a gift for me and Rob for our 3rd wedding anniversary and a card.

 

I went to unwrap it and it was....

My two lace dragons that I though were lost! It turns out I gave them to Jan to use in one of her lace exhibitions and we both forgot. Clearing her studio, Jan came across some threads sticking out of the folder and there they were:) So she framed them and gave it to us. How thoughtful.

 

I love my mum-in-law.

 

Here is one more with flash, you might be able to see the wonderful threads I used.

Really happy with end effect:)

Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day gift:

This is a lovely set, made with real petals inside the glass. How thoughtful:) Well done Rob. Perfect gift for a crafty mum.

 

This day made me realise I really am a Mum! I was so focused on nappy changing,washing, ironing and feeding that I forgot that being mum is so much more.

 

For me it is when Iza smiles back at me, when she reaches her hands towards me, when she falls asleep in my arms or when we play on the floor, just fooling around.

 

But most of all when I look in her eyes and I see so much love there that it takes my breath away.

 

What is being mum for you guys?
