Aah Choo...

I'm making quite a few of these tissue huggers for our Mother's Day Stall. Here is number one of about fifteen or so. Our monthly craft group is on tonight, so I thought I'd get the rest of them cut out tonight and ready for sewing tomorrow. They're so quick and easy...but in my view...an essential for any mum!!!


I've also made a pair of winter pj's each for the kids, so when they're home from school and I can get them to model for me, I'll post pictures.

I've had a few other ideas for the Mother's Day Stall...I'm going to do up a couple of little treat boxes:-

1. 'Breakfast in a Box'...this will have some yummy muesli in it, a couple of lovely teabags all presented in a noodle box with a little swing tag and a sprig of lavender.

2. 'Bathtime in a Box'...this will have a glass votive candle (from Ikea for 50 cents each), a tea light candle and a little bath tea bag (square of muslin with 2 Tbspns of oats and a few drops of an essential oil, then tied with pretty ribbon). This will also be presented in a noodle box with a little swing tag and a sprig of lavender. The bathtime box will come with an instruction card...run bath, place bath teabag under running warm water to infuse bath, light candle and leave mum in peace for at least 30 minutes. When I've made a sample of these, I'll show pictures.

Hope you're having a lovely day...

Love your treat box idea - what Mother doesn't like being pampered? It sounds like they will be beautifully packaged and presented - looking forward to seeing the finished product! I was inspired by your handbag organiser and made up one last night - I don't know how I ever lived without it!

Great ideas for the stall. Just wondered what type of tissues you were using in your holder. I made some last year but could only find the top opening type not the ones that used to open in the middle.

Thanks Blossom

Oh my gosh that tissue hugger brings back memories. My mother used to make them all the time when I was a kid. Ah, the memories. That bathtime box sounds like heaven!
