Mother's Day Sunday

Happy Mother's Day!

This year I wanted to do something fun for my mom so I decided to play on the fact that I have a tattoo she doesn't approve of.  I always tell her I'm gong to get another one and she thoroughly disapproves.  I have been dropping hints that I was going to get one just for her and for Mother's day I did just that... with a little help from Jenny Hart and the Sublime Stitching Craft Pad!

A tattoo fit for a Mom!

I gathered up some supplies I had lying around, making sure to use bright springy colors and of course a little purple and got to work.  I traced the design on to a gold card I had using some carbon paper.  

I used a basic backstitch for the whole thing other than a few little bits here and there.  Man oh man stitching through card stock is a little more difficult than I thought says the girl who snapped two needles in the process .  Even so I am happy with my brand new tattoo!

My mom taught me just about everything I know about just about every kind of craft out there so I am grateful for her every day.  Today also happens to be my parents' 33rd wedding anniversary! Later today we will be meeting up with my grandmother and some of my aunts to have Mother's Day tea and cake.  

Now thats what I call a good Sunday! I hope you 

all enjoy yours!

Thanks for stopping by!
