Happy Mother's Day!
Yeah, yeah, I know none of you have ovaries or boobs or uteri, and thus will never exactly be mothers (barring sex change and adoption, hmmm.. hehe), but I thought I'd share my little gizmos I made for my mom and grandma for Mother's Day with you all. I always have a horrible time finding cards that I like and I'm not good at buying gifts for people, so I try to make stuff when I can. These are meant to be place mats (you know, so people like me don't get their meal all over the nice clean table). I'm not entirely sure they're functional. The sun and flower appliqué may make plates sit weirdly. But they were fun to make and I didn't even break any needles on my sewing machine (this is actually a bigger accomplishment than it should be). So... let me know if anyone wants a custom order place mat dealy, since apparently I can make them.

these look awesome but I dont have a table to put place mats on bu the moon and star one is awesome! Id just put up on my wall! haha nice work.
Very good! Hey, you know there's going to be this Make fair, one of my co-workers who lives across the street from you guys and used to live in Wataru's room will be going with his wife. It's in the last weekend of May I believe, think about it.
Regardless, these look beautiful. You know though, I could totally see mom's buying something like this for their toddlers. Don't get me wrong, you can be any age to enjoy the delight of a sun and moon absorbing food stains from your plate. But, the bubbly style reminds me of some of the merchandise I see marketed towards "green" moms.
Take a look at: http://www.etsy.com/
