Happy Mother's Day everyone

I wish you all a relaxing Mother's day tomorrow.

Forget-Me-Not....I got the Blues....in a good way!

Last Sunday I visited the beach, alone once again, and found a periwinkle mermaid tear. It was so smooth and so calming that it will most likely be silver wire wrapped for a pendant or scissor fob. When I returned home I walked around the garden and more "blues" were found in the form of flowers. First I spotted my Forget-Me-Nots, which never fail to brighten my day. Around the corner I saw the Georgia Bluebells in bloom. I had forgotten how much I love blues. As a teenager it was my favorite color. My dear friend Tish sent me another surprise package and among the beautiful fabrics were some blues. I really couldn't believe that I had recently dyed almost every color of fabric she had included. This is why I love to dye my own silk ribbons....
They always match the fabrics I love which make it so convenient to gather my stash for projects fairly quickly so the stitching can begin, like this purse I started last evening. The beautiful painted cat button was from Gerry Krueger and it will be going on an eyeglass case for mom as a Mother's Day gift Sunday. I will slip a coupon inside for flowers to fill her deck and keep her cheered all summer. I will be using the same fabrics because they go so well with the cat's eyes. Mom lost her Himalayan earlier this year and Gerry thought it would be a nice surprise to have "Antoinette" grace a project from me. Thanks again Gerry, mom will love it.
After taking mom to her appointment yesterday she felt nauseated on the way home and she felt worse later when I phoned to check on her. I woke up feeling the same so I plopped my behind on the couch with Angell and embellished my heart out this morning ending up with this...
I will assemble it this evening or tomorrow. I made it to see approximately how long it would take working at a casual pace. Did you notice it was blue? (I told you I had the Blues.)Yes, blue..I got it out of my system,LOL. The purse I finished last week is also completed. I did add a bulky matching chain. I decided not to keep it because it would just hang around and collect dust. It will be added to my etsy shop early next week when I plan to spend a day adding things.
Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow. If not, perhaps another purse is on the way.
Have a great day and hopefully you can get in some creative time.

Happy May Day!!
