As Mothers Day here in the UK falls on March 22nd this year, please make a card (or other craft project) for a Mother. This does not have to be specifically a Mothers Day card, just something, you know, that a Mother would love!
Here is my Card - this is what my mother would have loved, as she sadly has been gone 4 years this coming May.
While making it I sung the following song -
Oh, the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie, go?
I will build my love a tower
Near yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will build
All the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie, go?
If my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
Where wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie, go?
Oh, the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie, go?
Which was one of her favourite songs and the one she was cremated to.
I have coloured the image in green which was her favourite colour with my watercolours and have added just a detail of pink as I wanted a pink ribbon on her as she died of breast cancer. The image looks very like the photos we have of her in twenties which was why I choose it.
I do hope you like it, it has made me cry writting this post - and I will get a better picture of it in daylight tomorrow.
