I crocheted blue flowers for both of them, and here are videos (of my mom and of MJ's mom) that show their sweet reactions to the bouquets.
For my girlfriend's mom's blue flower, I followed a rosette pattern from Lion Brand yarn. It was gratifying to make the same coiled flowers my grandma made decades ago.
Martha Stewart said she once knitted a scarf for her father, who wore it for a day before losing it. Similarly, my mom's blue flower has recently gone missing. We looked everywhere. Ah well, flowers are best enjoyed for a moment, right?
Happy birthday, Moms! Two blue flowers for two beautiful people!
You are such a good son! How sweet.
ReplyDeleteVery cool flowers... and very cute mums!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute! =>
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! What sweet Mom's ya'll have & how sweet ya'll are to them!!
ReplyDeletepaige: Thanks! I try to not be a bad son, at least :D
ReplyDeletePaisleyJade: I've wanted to try making crochet flowers for awhile, so our moms' twin birthdays were a fun opportunity to do so! What MJ & I find funny about the videos is how we reflect our own mom's personalities. Thank you!
inkberryblue: Thanks for your cuteness vote :)
Miss Julep: hehe Yes, we're lucky to have moms who are sweet and who don't make us scrub the floors :D
By the way, MJ & I were watching the Food Network feature food from the South (like CherryWine soda & Blue Bell ice Cream), and I thought of you! :D
