5 Years

Now I usually try and keep this space crafting only and keep as much of my personal life out of it as I can. But since this is relevant to why I made this project I am allowing myself to share a tiny bit.  :)

5 years ago, on October 29th, which happened to be the day before my youngest daughter's 1st birthday and 2 days before her favorite holiday, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cancer.  The outlook was NOT good at all.  Tough times, people, tough times.  5 years later, she is still here, and she is my hero.  She has gone through a lot and I love her so very much. 

I decided to surprise and make her something to celebrate this amazing 5 years.

I went with a Wiksten Tank because I have made quite a few of them before, including some for my mom, so I already know that she looks awesome in them.

And of course, I had to use my most favorite of the Halloween fabrics.  Lizzy House's emoting ghosts print from Guising.  This fabric just makes me happy.  And I decided to do all the topstitching in a fun purple variegated thread.





I think that my mom will really like it when she opens up her mailbox and sees a surprise waiting for her!

Here is a little sneaky peek at what my next post will be about.  Two words, my friends, In. Love.
