In Japan today is a mother's day, and so I stitched "Mum's the word..." © Primrose Samplers this year for my mum and my "Surrogate Mother in Law" Carol R.
You might thought what is or who is my "Surrogate MIL" on the last post...
She is my dear friend Carol R. !
Why "Surrogate MIL" ??If you read my blog regularly, you might know about my real MIL, so Carol R. offered me to be my SMIL!
I can't explain well as my English ability is not good enough, so please visit her blog (here) and please read the reason why, lol
Anyways, here are some photos of framed piece of "Mum's the word..."Isn't this beautiful?! I love this and also my mum fell in love again as always (lol)
There was another antiqued beautiful frame, and I was going to choose that one, but when the mat was made and set the stitched piece, this frame was more beautiful than the antiqued one!

Just simply beautiful, I thought and decided!
Here is a close up photo of the frame.Now I still have been stitching for my mum this design, but she also will choose this mat and frame for this design!
So my SMIL and mum would have the same piece, how nice!
Here is another present for Mother's day from my hubby and me for my mum.This is preserved flower, and so these flowers keeps their beauty for about 2-3 years.
Every year we send flower, in Japan carnation is the symbol of mother's day, so this also has carnation in the vase.
Isn't this beautiful?! I fell in love with this and decided to send this to my mum.I also sent the flower for my real MIL... just token of ... what? LOL
I chatted with Carol R. last night and it was SO fun!! We chatted for a long time and she made me happy with her warm and thoughtful words, thanks SMIL!
Anyway, Happy Mother's Day for all mum in the world!!
Take care + have a lovely weekend!
Happy Stitching!

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real money.
It's all about how to choose a proper companion who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.
You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
