Mother's Day: Don't forget!

In the UK Mother's Day, or Mothering Sunday, falls on the fourth Sunday in Lent and is a celebration of all things motherhood!

It originated as a Christian celebration in the 1600s when devoted Christians would visit their 'mother church' for a special service. It is observed on the fourth Sunday of Lent, three weeks before Easter Sunday.

Did you know more phone calls are made on Mother's Day than any other day of the year?

Patchwork Tartan Cushion

How to make a patchwork tartan cushion? - You can never have too many cushions. Create a statement with a single patchwork cushion or go tartan mad by making enough to scatter around the whole house. Patchwork is a great way to use up scraps and you can always mix up your tartan with tweeds and plains or even spots and stripes.
