Here's the card I made for my mom, with some teeny-tiny little paper triangles, a black pen, and a set of alphabet stamps:
And here's the present I made for her. It's the purse from the lovely Cath Kidston 'Stitch' book, and my first ever attempt at cross-stitch:
We're going to have a good, long Skype session later on. I wish it could be a real-life chat, though! But..... we don't have to wait too long for that now, thank goodness!!! :-)
I LOVE YOU, MOM!!!

That is lovely! Love the card, I love anything with bunting. I have that Cath Kidston book but have'nt attempted the cross stitch yet. Mothers day is in May for us. Ohhhh and I want a stamp set too. Have a great week xo
ReplyDeleteSo lovely ...and great cross stich!
ReplyDeleteOh Carly, those are such beautiful gifts for your mother! That card is as pretty and delicate as the little purse. I bet you feel, like I do, a little sad sometimes to be living so far away from your parents. How lucky we are to have Skype, etc. to help us bear the distance.
ReplyDeleteHappy week to you, lovely Carly.
