Mother's Day stitches

In celebration of Mother's Day this year, I decided to stitch a little something onto bath towels for my *future* mother in law. I bought a soft fluffy cream coloured towel and a matching slighter darker cream aida band to match. I wanted to give it a romantic vintage feel to it so I stitched using dusty rose and mint green colours. On the sides of MOTHER, there are three tiny flowers and in one corner I stitched MD 2009 to give it a personal touch. Then I thought I might as well stitch one for my *future* father in law too. But I had a hard time deciding the colour of the towel for this one. I must have stood at the towels section in the store for a whole hour! At last, I decided on keeping it plain and simple (since he is a man), so I decided on a white towel, and I stitched the word FATHER in a smoke blue colour, and on each side there are a pair of palm trees.

When I finished, I realised it looks like a towel from a beach resort!

Here are the pair together. I hope B's parents will like their Mother's Day present.

I also decided on stitching one for my aunt later on in the week. She loves the colour purple so I got her a nice lilac coloured towel and used a darker mint green/aqua colour to stitch her name.

B's parents present all wrapped up.

For my mum, who by the way lives in Australia, I sent her a nice black coloured shawl and a tub of Sweet Petula's Shea Butter Ginger Blossom hand and body balm from www.sweetpetula.etsy.com

Well, that's all for now. I hope everyone loves their Mother's Day pressies from me and I wish all mothers out there

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
