I love to knit caps! All sizes! One Christmas I was going to Oklahoma, so I knitted caps for everyone in my family. The caps for the men and boys were either plain or had stripes. I gave them extra wide brims to help keep their ears warm. For the ladies, I made plain and stripes, also, however I covered all their hats with “Fun Fur.” They turned out SO beautifully! I have FUN doing this! When one of my nephews lost his hat, he contacted me, asking if I would make him another. Of COURSE!
I don’t really knit much. I actually prefer to crochet things, like scarfs to give as gifts. I am a novice to the yarn crafts.
My two older sons but together a home made quilt of sorts with baby clothes they wore when they came home from the hospital, their christening and other special occasions. It was hand made by loving sons.
A photo album with pictures of the things I have made over the years worn by the people I made them for.
A book of poems from my daughter.
Love these Mother’s Day ideas. One year, my three siblings and I each took a picture of ourselves holding a piece of poster board with the letters L, O, V, and E. We printed them in black and white and displayed the four pictures in a horizontal frame. She loved it!
The best present I received for mother’s day was a beautiful card from my daughter that brought tears to my eyes when I read it. The sentiment in the card was heartfelt and beautiful.
Nothing is better than taking the time and creating a gift for someone, especially your Mom. Thanks to these tips, I have been really inspired to put together the no-sew apron: so easy, cute, and my amazing chef of a mother will wear it all of the time. Seeing as I am not in the least graceful with a needle and thread, I am so happy there were some suggestions that were easier than ever. So simple and thoughtful, and I know my Mom will love it – thank you for making this holiday even more special.
A few years ago, I put together a scrapbook for my Mom that included memorable pictures of her, myself and my siblings from when we were babies to the present along with famous quotes I found online about mothers/mother-child relationships. Each page had one or two photos along with one quote, and I did creative things with the backgrounds like adding handprint-patterned paper, relevant stickers, or stippling the paper because there’s nothing I personally hate more in a scrapbook than a blank white background page. She loved it. My mother is notoriously hard to shop for, so heartfelt and homemade is the way to go sometimes!
