So many sweet Mama gifts are popping up all over, aren’t they? It’s hard not to get caught up in them. But, actually, specially designed “Hallmark” holidays always baffle me a little. I don’t like the forced nature of them. Yes, it is nice to be appreciated, but do we really have to wait until one special day to appreciate those that we love? Truly, any of these little gifts would make a Mama happy (especially this ol’ Mama). But then, think how appreciated we Mamas would feel if one of these gifts popped up on any ol’ day when we least expected it?

Of course, there’s no better way of showing love than a handmade gift. Here are some of my flax & twine favorites from the past. Simple, hand crafted ways to show your Mama lots of love, any day:
Gold Ring Necklace
Crochet Covered Stone
Hand Embroidered Note Card
Embroidery Thread Wrapped Hoops
Fabric Flower Bouquet
