Today is my mums birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mum xxx. So its a special birthday. Shes going to hate me for showing this photo as since then she's lost about 3stone, but I love this one, it has such happy memories of a wonderful time we had on one of the times when her and dad came to visit this was May 2002, mum and I were in our bedroom, looking at stash, and we were teasing each other and having such a laugh, I think this picture shows what a happy lady my mum is - Love you!!
This is what I made mum for her birthday, its a hanging pillow which I stitched on lavender checked evenweave (28ct), I stitched it with the DMC linen thread, I quite liked the thread, though it does tend to make your stitches uneven which was a bit of a draw back, but I think the overall result was quite good, I know mum received it in the post yesterday but when I rang this morning to wish her Happy Birthday she hadn't opened her gifts as she was waiting for tonight when she was going to go to my sisters for a birthday party tea with my nephew and niece as they like to help open gifts.Link

Happy Birthday to your mom! That is a great gift you sent her, I'm sure she will love it.
Happy birthday to your Mom :) It's wonderful to see your obvious love for each other. She's going to be thrilled with this sweet pillow!!
Happy birthday, Veronica!
Su, I love this picture of your mom - it makes me want to laugh right along with her! Your gift for her is adorable, too.
What's a stone in pounds or kilos? I have always wondered that.
LOL!!
16 ounces make a pound and 14 pounds make a stone, so mum lost about 42 pounds (the same as I did last year)
There are 2.2lbs ( I think) to a kilo or is it 2.2kg to a pound now thats where I get confused.
That is such a lovely gift! Funny coincidence isn't it (I'm thinking of the comment you wrote me yesterday! ;))
(A pound is a bit less than half a kilo. 3 stones (or 42 lbs) are 19 kilos.)
great photo, hope she had a lovely day.The little pillow is sweet ,love the fabric.I bought some of the new DMC flower thread but have not used it yet.
Thank-you for all your good wishes.....I love the pillow Su made me....its now hanging in my bedroom. Thanks Su Loves You from Mumxx
Your mom's picture sure put a smile on my face! Happy Birthday to her :) Beautiful gift.
I hope your mom had a great day! Such a thoughtful gift - I love it!
Love the picture of your Mum. The little pillow you did was great too. I've been curious about that linen DMC thread. CJ
Aw Su - what a lovely gift! And that is such an adorable photo of your Mum :-) It is so clear how much you adore her!
Your Mum is adorable!!! I'm sure she'll love the beautiful gift you made for her.
Happy Birthday to Mum!!
Veronica- if you read this - A Very Happy birthday to you!! Hope you had a lovely Day
Your mom looks so nice on this photo! I can understand why you treasure it, and her!
This is a very pretty gift! Did you enjoy stitching with linen thread? Is it any different from cotton thread, apart fom uneven stitches?
Take care!
Darn, I hate missing saying Happy Birthday-esp to your mum and the next stitcher on my NRR. ; )
What a sweet piece you made for her.
