Belated Beyond Belief

This little puppy was supposed to be given to my mom for her birthday in April!! I'm a bad bad daughter but I suppose it's better late than never. This was my first attempt at a cosmetic bag (hence the very belated gift) and I'm happy with the result. She's lined with the same pink nylon fabric that the L (for Lois) and the heart are cut from and you can see a tiny bit of the cute pink zip used to keep mom's goods inside. I think she (the bag, not my mom) looks like a bubble, not sure if that's a good or a bad thing...

I might make another one of these ladies for the shop... but what initial should I use?!

p.s. the pink bits are NOT fuzzy or dirty in the flesh (or should I say in the vinyl?), the pic just isn't the best.

Good Score: P-E-R-F-E-C-T

A perfectly perfect afternoon spent with my mom. The clouds waited until I headed home to roll in.

An afternoon filled with Scrabble, good conversation and the sweet smell of Lilacs which always make me think of my mom.

What scent reminds you of your mom?

Happy Belated Mother's Day!!

My mom is famous! Check it out, she was featured on the news. She's so fabulous even America considers her a national icon.

I love you Mom!! I can only hope that one day my children will adore me as much as I do you, you truly are the most amazing woman I know. xox

Mmmm Buttons

My favourite woman dropped off a massive ziploc bag of my favourite things this weekend - thanks mom! Yay for Thrift Shops and a mom addicted to scouring them for fabulous goods.

I've decided to finally sort my collection of lovely buttons by colour so that I can display them in my sewing room/office. I started sorting and soaking the little buggers last night and I know I'm a dork but there is something oddly satisfying about the task.

Oh how I love buttons.
