This month's prompts for the #tagroulettehannemade challenge by @hannemadebyanne are: 31. Bit of Bling 35. 3 Buttons 10. Suffolk Puffs If you don't know me, I lost my Mum in December, she had stage 4 cancer and Dementia and living in a care home. During lockdown because I couldn't visit (pre cancer diagnosis) and her dementia meant it was difficult talking on the phone I sent her weekly postcards to keep in touch. So my monthly challenge takes the form of a postcard and each one dedicated to Mum. I am also using her handkerchiefs as the background for each one and I have this month used some toppers from some hand made cards she had been given. I can't claim credit for the beautiful sewn rose which has gold thread but it came from a card her sister (My Auntie Elizabeth @lucewinder ) gave her for her 50th Wedding Anniversary. The heart is a 'bit of Bling' taken from another card, and the Suffolk puffs speak for themselves decorated with 3 vintage buttons. Happy Easter Mum! Love and Kisses as always❤️ #embroidery #52tagshannemade #sew4thesoul #mindfulsewing #mindfulness #sentimental https://www.instagram.com/p/CcKwcu-MtMK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
