I just realized how bad people might feel who read my last post and can't "be with" their Mom on Mother's Day because they live to far away, or have to work or some one's sick or a lot of other reasons. The next best thing is to make her something special, so she can feel you are with her. Crafting for Mom is not difficult, especially with a glue gun. Here's the simplest idea in the world.
Mother's Day Closet Sachets
Go to the fabric store and buy a quarter yard of some really pretty fabric, and 2 yards of matching ribbon. Get something you know your Mom would like- her favorite color or flower or animal etc. Next go to the flower store and buy some lavender or any other flower/fragrance you know she loves. Cut the fabric into squares of 4" by 4". Glue 3 sides closed and then stuff them with the lavender and glue the 4th side closed. Cut the ribbon into 6" long pieces and glue each end to one corner of the stuffed squares, making a loop. These can now be hung over the hangers in Moms closet to bring a lovely fragrance to her clothes.
Once the scent fades, she can spray them with her favorite perfume and hang them up again!
I have some sachets my Mom made for me many years ago and I refresh them every time I want a little pick me up surprise in my closet. Kids, tweens and teens can help with this craft and don't forget to wrap them up in pretty package and use the left over flowers to decorate the Mother's Day gift.
The funny thing in my house is that I share a closet with my dh! I wonder if he enjoys the closet as much as I do?
