I made a couple gifts for my MIL for Mother's Day. The cup mug rug idea came from Embroidery Library's projects. I must admit I got the idea for the birthday and anniversary calendar from one of the groups on Secrets Of. There are a total of 35 flowers, but I didn't know the dates for some people, and there are three new babies coming late this summer. I left three flowers blank. My MIL can fill in the relevant info later.

These are wonderful gifts, I especially love the anniversary garden!!

My MIL has 4 children and spouses, 9 grandchildren and 3 spouses, and by the end of summer will have 6 great grandchildren. I thought this would be a great decorative idea for her to keep all those birthdays and anniversaries remembered!

My MIL called me and told me she loved this gift! She was trying to decide where to hang it!

Cue idea and excellent color and stitching!

That's great, love it!
Hugs, Lidia

Sieht ganz toll aus

Pretty! It looks like a knockoff of Louisa Meyer Original's new design.

That's where I got the idea. I created my own. My MIL loves hummingbirds! I should go and thank Louisa Meyer for inspiration even though I didn't purchase her set!

Great work and just know you made MIL happy with what you had done for her

Looks very beautiful she loved it i bet???hugs

I think you have made the perfect gift. Both gifts look so pretty and what a wonderful way for her to always see her family members any time she wants. It's a beautiful way to list birthdays.

What a very clever idea! This is a lovely gift & I'm sure she loved it!~hugs~

So Gorgeous!!!Well done,great work.....

I never would have either. There was an interesting flower freebie on Secrets Of so I clicked on it. It went to Louisa Meyer Originals, and the freebie was from a set of Birthday Calendars. http://www.secretsof.com/content/...

What a lovely idea for a birthday calender! The cup mug rug is great too. Love it.
