Hexi's and Mother's Day

 New mug rug finished. This was my first attempt at hexi's, and while I'm not totally in love in with them yet, I do like the finished results. They are mildly time consuming. And I opted not paper piecing, and just sewing them together. They at least line up relatively well.
This was one of my mom's presents for mothers day.
 Then for the two grandma's we took regular frames and added some chalkboard stickers to the bottom and that way they can be customized. When you switch out the pictures, you can write whatever you like in chalk at the bottom.
Think I may need to make some of these types of frames for us. I love the chalkboard sheets, you can put them wherever, and use them for so many things.

I didn't take any pictures, but also embellished some tea towels for the lovely ladies. I got some super absorbent white dish towels and added some fabric and ric rac to pretty them up. I have some great Michael Miller Cookery fabric just waiting to go on some tea towels for my house.
