Simply Saturday - Simply Sweet

A simple, down to earth and sweet lady.  Her name is Annette and she is my mother in law.  Yesterday we went to lunch at the Senior Centre as they were having Korean BBQ lunch.  Before going for lunch we stop by the fabric store to get some handkerchief fabric.  Annette was going to embroider handkerchief for my daughter (Alysia) and her cousin (Marilen).  Here's a sample of what she has done.

This is just a practice sample, Annette will be doing the final ones in the right color and proper fonts according to their order.  Isn't she sweet for doing all of these.  When she found out I wanted something to decorate the cupcake.  She immediately got me this.

While she was out buying the above item, she found this free cord braiding instructions for making bracelets and she thought of Alysia. 

We spent most of yesterday being productive.  I was sewing some place mats for Annette.  It's her gift for a friend who lives in Texas who loves pigs.  So I made the set for her. 

Set of 4 place mats, one pot holder and 4 cutlery holder

When I went to visit Canada in June, my MIL baked some treats specially for Alysia.  She likes baking goodies and we always get our supply of her best chocolate chip cookies, zucchini bread or whatever recipe she is trying.  She is so much fun to be with and does not hesitate to help out with whatever you might need.  She is very thoughtful, caring, and has the greatest sense of humor.  I am so lucky to have her as my MIL.  Do you get along with your MIL?
