Mother's Day

Hi Everybody!

On Sunday it's Mother's Day,  so I'd like to wish a happy one to all mums out there. I am re-showing a piece made last year showing my mum as a little girl:





At Tag Tuesday our theme is 'Baby love', and the theme covers everything about mothers and babies, whether animal or human. I made a hybrid tag showing some of the delightful young birds that can be seen everywhere just now:



Ans some photos of my walks taken in the past couple of weeks:









Last week we walked past this field with old farming implements, and you can see the maypole is still there:


 And  I always love to see the horses:






Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  1. Gorgeous artwork Valerie and love the one which has your Mum on, vintage photos always look so beautiful.
    Great photos too and especially love the wisteria (our neighbour's overhangs our garden and is not yet in full bloom) and the chestnut horse which is such a lovely colour.
    Enjoy your weekend.

  9. A well deserved recall of your beautiful artwork showing your dear Mother, *Happy Mother's Day* to all who are celebrating, as you may know we in the UK celebrate ours in March but where ever in the world it's always good to give Thanks to ALL Mother's.
    Seeing the Maypole reminded me of my school days dancing around it with flowers in my hair, happy days. Beautiful horses..
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend Valerie.
    Hugs Tracey xx

  13. Gorgeous pieces Valerie, both of them! Just yesterday we were discussing with my son whether Mothers day is something that is celebrated outside of the Anglo Saxon world? I never heard of it while I lived in Germany. And of course here in the UK we celebrated it in March already.... Anyway, lovely summery photos too. Wet and rainy here today sadly....

    Love Chrissie xx

    1. I think it is only in England that Mother's Day is celebrated in Lent, the rest of the world seems to be celebrating today.

  20. I am glad you re-showed that piece because it is really lovely and a great tribute to your Mom. I also love your tag and all the baby birds-which is quite appropriate for today also. :) I need to get busy and make my tag, as I know what I want to do, but today was so nice I spent most of the day outside working in the garden. :) I hope you had a fabulous day yourself-are those wisteria still blooming? They are gorgeous. It will be Monday in your world by now, so happy start to the new week. Hugs-Erika
