Mother's Day Crunch Time

This weekend was filled with the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival in Howard County on Saturday and visits to historical sites outside of Baltimore on Sunday.  I'm recovering from overload and will have more to report on Saturday's event tomorrow.  In the meantime, I found these quick Mother's Day (May 9) projects that might inspire you on your quest for the perfect crafty present for the Mom in your life.

Kid friendly Mother's Day Crafting at Kaboose has quick, easy and affordable craft ideas for Mother's Day.

Needle & Wool knitters Brooch from CraftBits.com and contributed by Eva.  This brooch is a perfect gift for the knitting mum who inspired you to knit.

How about a recipe for a soothing body scrub to relax Mom?  Try this one from Marigold Lane for a
Lavender & Rosemary Body Scrub.

You might consider decorating a basket, toolbox, garden planter or hatbox with items that your mom will love. Consider an indoor herb garden kit, handmade beaded and vintage jewelry, hat sticks, or silk scarves for the hatbox, tools and gardening gloves, shoes, and apron with a girly flair or floral print for a tool kit and planter, and your favorite premixed packages (or your own) recipes for scones, bread, cozies and coffee/tea combinations for a basket.  Add an easy tie and reusable bow made out of material and wire for easy tying from your local craft or sewing store.

Go crafty, and enjoy the magical results this week.
