In one of my favourite songs Alela Diane sings of her mama giving her melodies that she will one day pass on to her own daughter. I love the thought of sharing and passing on the things we love best. I have many happy memories of baking and sewing with my mum as I grew up, and many more of us exploring new places by bicycle. So it seemed fitting this Mother’s Day to meet my mum at a favourite cafe, mid-bike ride, and give a hand-sewn gift.
Bikes, stitching and cake; three of my favourite things. And only a few of the marvellous things that my mum has passed on to me.
Looks lovely and your mum looks really pleased! What a great idea to take a pic of her receiving her gift – wish I’d thought of that for the things I made for my mum (although, to be fair, she did put the tea cosy on her head to make my children laugh…) :D
Sounds like good fun! I’m not actually organised enough to have planned to take a pic; I’m just lucky to have a snap-happy husband!
