At the beginning of March we celebrated my mom's birthday. We'd worked together secretly across the country to put together a quilt for her. The quilt included blocks made of white fabric with iron-on transfers putting pictures on them. It was a lot of fun and turned out pretty spectacular. I made the birthday cake, with the owl motif from the starting square of fabric.
(Also, little James -- bottom left -- enjoyed doing his best to use my cane. He had the right idea, but it was still taller than him!)
There was also a book my sister put together of memories and stories of life so far.
The amount of food coloring required to make the cake frosting that shade of blue left everyone looking a bit cyanotic. My mom also got some beautiful hand-knit mittens and a scarf and pin from Thailand!
All in all, a wonderful celebration of a wonderful mother / grandmother! Love you, Mom!
