Mother's Day

I usually try and make presents as personal as I can, whether it's buying something silly that evokes a past memory or making/getting something that is tailored to a person's interests. So this Mother's Day my mum asked for socks as a present, (no, not flowers or chocolates, socks.) As some of you may know by her fabulous blog: http://socklet.co.uk/ she has a fantastic talent for making cute sock-creatures. I then found a Moomin notebook Waterstones as a lovely surprise! Finally I made a character called Snufkin out of various material (funnily enough I had the idea of making him before finding the notebook as he's also a Moomin character,) and wrote a vintage looking letter thanking my mum for looking after her small adventurers and sealed it with wax. All in all, a very enjoyable day! :)
