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?
Mother's Day Across the Globe
Mother's Day is recognised around the world and wherever it is celebrated, it is universally about showering your mum with cards, chocolates, and flowers.
In Thailand, Mother's Day is always celebrated on August 12th on the birthday of Queen Sirikit.
In Egypt, Mother's Day is celebrated on 21st March, the first day of Spring.
In Serbia, Mother's Day is part of a 3 day celebration in December, also celebrating Child's Day and Father's Day.

Mother's Day in the United States is commemorated on the second Sunday in May, and like the UK involves children giving their mothers handmade cards, gifts and flowers.

Handmade Tartan Gifts
Here in Scotland, Mother's Day is all about showing your mum just how much you love and appreciate her, whether it be by making her breakfast, buying her a bunch of flowers, doing the housework or even making her a handmade gift! We have come up with a few ideas of presents you can make for your mum using tartan.
Tartan Door Stop
How to make a Tartan Doorstop - A lovely way to add a touch of tartan to your home and if you are a temperamental teenager you can make a good joke about no longer being able to slam doors! If you are being really clever make your doorstop in the shape of her favourite animal. And don't forget to send us a photo.
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.
Fabric Scraps
Crafters Corner - 5 Things to Make with Tartan Fabric Scraps - Do you have some leftover tartan fabric from another craft project? Then put it to good use, by making a lovely little set of tartan bunting or even wrapping your gift with strips of tartan ribbon. Woven wool fabrics are easy to fringe for extra effect, gently pull the outer threads until you have the finish you like.
If you don't think arts and crafts are really your strong suit, then not to worry, as we have picked out our favourite Mother's Day gifts on the website for you.
