I had such a lovely Mothers Day yesterday. I had my mum over for breakfast.
I got some lovely cards from the boys
And i got the Emma Bridgewater mug i asked for!!
The red envelope has vouchers for painting pottery.
I got lots of lovely daffs.
After breakfast we went to church parade (my eldest is a Beaver Scout) Me and my mum got given more flowers. We then called into Costa for a quick drink and cake. In the afternoon we met up with my In laws for dinner at Grahams on the green in Writtle.

SWAPS
I like this swapping buisness!! This was my first swap. So when i got my parcel from Rachel, i ripped open the paper like a child at christmas!! Thank you Rachel. x
The pieces are so well made. I really need to start making more things!! The purple heart is a brooch - isn't it lovely, just my colour!! I am going to alternate wearing it on a coat/cardi, putting it on bags and maybe even pining it to a cushion.
The finished products ready to go and below is the first heart/thing i have made on a sewing machine since i was a teen making a baby playmat for a college project. I am quite proud of it, although i did make a mistake of not leaving a gap until i reached the top. I found it really tricky to hand sew it up on the heart curve. Oh well, practise makes perfect as they say!!

Sounds like a lovely mothers day. And a very pretty swap too. Well done on your heart, personally I don't do my hearts on the machine as its too much of a fiddle! Have you tried the pinking method? Much easier!:D X
The table looks lovely and pretty!
Great heart swap and the heart you made looks lovely.
Gorgeous cards from the boys too!

It was a lovely Mother's day wasn't it? The cards, flowers, and pressies are lovely!
I have done the heart swap too, and it is also my first one. As I have been so busy with my daughter's decorating, and move, I haven't had time to take pics. Now most of the main decorating is done, I will have to do a post, when I receive mine!! It has been great fun, and I am doing Faerie Nuff's Easter swap too.
You have made a great job of your first heart!! Look forward to seeing your next creations!
Have a lovely week : )

Your table looks so beautiful and lots of wonderful yummies to eat. How wonderful to have your mother there for breakfast. It sounds like you had a very pleasant Mothering Sunday.
