Last week, when Blogger was having ‘issues’ I had posted my gift for Mother’s day.
Unfortunately, the post is gone but most importantly your comments are all gone. 🙁
Some of the pictures remained in the draft format, but all my wording and the pictures of my kiddies gifts to me are also gone.
I have decided to re post the pictures that remained in case you missed them.
I made my mom a little sewing kit carved out of an inexpensive notebook.
“your love is embroidered in my heart’
Here is a quick look at the process…
1. Mark desired size of ‘hole’
3. Glue outside edges of book (except for the cover page) with white glue and place heavy object on top
I covered the book with white canvas.
I designed the canvas by using plants and transferring their natural pigments onto the fabric.
I will do a tutorial and speak more to this technique in a later post.
I’m glad that Blogger is back in operation. I can’t wait to read all of your wonderful posts.
hugs,
Lucy

What a wonderful gift…I’m sure she LOVED it 🙂 I bought some coffee filters today, so I could try and make a few of your coffee filter roses 🙂

What a cute little idea!
I love it, Lucy! Book projects are the best…homemade gifts are even better:) I know your mom loved it, and your kids’ gifts were treasures. The song was beautiful!
The special gift for your mom is beautiful as are the song and cards form your children. You definitely enjoyed a wonderful day! ~ Sarah
What a lovely and touching gift for your mom, Lucy. I love your kids gifts to you, as well. I ♥ homemade.
This is beautiful, thanks for sharing your process. x
Such a sweet gift. Bet your mom loved it!
What a wonderful gift. I just love it.
Awww! This is so lovely! I just added your button to my blog 🙂 Thanks for supporting me!
What a great idea. That is so nice. I have tons of old journals and never know what to do with them.
When I was in high school, many years ago, I cut out the pages from a book like this, so I could take a squirt gun to school, and hide it. Ha ha. This is a cute idea, why didn’t I think of this? My name is Loo.
It is said that if you do this, you can keep chopped garlic for a long time.
