Happy Mother's Day!!

It was a lot of work - here is the cake that we made for my mom. :) Beth called my parents around 12:30 to ask my mom when she would like her cake. My dad answered and his answer was NOW. He was hungry. Beth tried to explain that it was all about mom today but he wouldn't listen.

Someone has gone needle felting crazy. Yesterday afternoon she made an octopus.

Now she is busy making coral. She's always wanted an aquarium so she is going to make her own with felted friends.

The picture doesn't show the colours but he is red with orange spots.

Because the kits haven't arrived yet Beth downloaded their book onto her iPad. There are many patterns in the book and now she is making up her own creations.
