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.

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/11402

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.

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!

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!
