Mother's Day
As a mom, I think Mother’s Day is overrated. A bouquet of flowers doesn’t erase a year of dirty clothes on the floor. A box of chocolates doesn’t mend ugly, unkind words spilled in a moment of anger. A fancy brunch doesn’t mean you love your mom if you don’t talk to her on a regular basis. Keep the gifts and the frills. Sit beside your mom and tell her how your life is working out. Assure her that some of the things she taught you are actually helping you deal with many of life’s challenges. Tell her when you are faced with temptation; you hear her voice in your head encouraging you to take the right path. Tell her you forgive her for her shortcomings. Tell her she did a good job of being there for you, of guiding you in the right direction, for letting you spread your wings and fly. Tell her you are grateful for the life you are leading. Tell her your joys and your sorrows. Tell her all of it, don’t buy any gifts, just open your heart to your momma. She loves you.
Happy Mother’s Day to you – I hope you get to share it with those you have nurtured or have nurtured you!

My first project was of a turtle stitched out on a t shirt. It stitched out beautifully, except for the colors. Being a newby, I exactly followed the colors that showed up on my D 1 screen. Unfortunately, they were not the colors of a turtle...
