Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. We’re having a rare weekend at home. We’ve been focusing our energies on our online shops. Jeff has been finishing new shawl pins. We’ve both been tying buttons (and more buttons) on cards, with Bracken’s assistance at times. I’ve been taking lots of pictures and posting many new shawl pins and button sets in the shop. At the last minute it just so happened that we had two giveaways fall on this weekend, so there’s double opportunity for you to win something wonderful (a shawl pin, fabric buttons, gift certificates and more.) Head on over and check them out if you’d like to enter: we’re having a giveaway on Amanda’s blog: Little Labyrinth, and on Ginny’s blog: Small Things. This Mother’s Day weekend (and good through May 14th) we’re offering 15% off your purchase of $10 or more when you use the coupon code: MOTHERLOVE at checkout. It’s good in both our Wooly Moss Roots shop and our Mystic Orb shop.

By the way- you know the pattern I shared with you the other day for the flower garlands I made for May Faire? I decided to post the (very simple) pattern: A Simple Knitted Springtime Flower Garland on Ravelry. I can’t tell you how excited I was to post my first ever pattern on Ravelry, even if it was super simple. It will be really fun to see other people’s projects there if they knit the pattern.

Someone asked if we had any special plans for Mother’s Day. I told them that my idea of the ideal Mother’s Day would be spending the day out in the garden with my family. If the weather cooperates, that just might happen. I will be here tomorrow for Gratitude Sunday, if you care to join me. 

Wishing all you mothers a Happy Mother’s Day!
