Since it’s Mother’s Day weekend, I thought I’d share a gift my mom gave me when she was here visiting. I have her to thank for my interest in things crafty - she helped me learn to sew when I was younger, and her mom taught me to crochet. Nowadays, mum is a fantastic quilter - this is my favorite one she’s given me so far. It’s so quilty! (I’m trying to convince her to do a quilting website to show off the rest of her creations…)

Another piece of the mystery gift in progress. I was knitting this on the train yesterday, leaning against the doors, when a man approached me with the question “How ca’ you sew a sweater standing up when it’s summer?” I honestly didn’t know how to respond to that, so I didn’t. Because he was drunk, he didn’t seem to mind and a moment later became occupied with falling on another passenger.

For some more spring enjoyment - a real-life money tree! Let’s see if it works. This is the first thing I’ve really tried to keep alive (besides my cats and sea monkeys, of course). One week and counting - so far so good.
