My Next Project - A Gift for My Sweet (Toothed) Mum

Next month is my mum's 60th birthday, I will be buying her something special to keep (we are a family of women who likes BIG earrings!) but I also want to make her a few little treats, there is nothing like having lot's of little gifts to open, is there? I don't think it really matters what is in them even, it is the excitement and surprise that makes them fun.

Mama is a coffee drinker and has a very sweet tooth, the joke is that she likes the spoon standing up and 5 sugars (she's not quite that bad), so when I saw Wild Olive's pattern featured on the Feeling Stitchy June Stitch Along, I knew it would be perfect! Feeling Stitchy is slowly but surely tempting me back to my embroidery roots and I am looking forward to joining in my 1st stitch along.



I will be changing the 2 to a 5 in honour of our family joke and I am planning to stitch the design on some denim upcycled from a pair of her beloved grandson's jeans. My son loves to get involved in my crafting so I will get him to stitch part of the design too, she will love it that much more!
