This is my very first Mother’s Day, and if you’ve got a new mum in your life too, I’d love to gently suggest something.
The past six months have been a whirlwind - beautiful and chaotic. Some days feel magical, others feel totally out of control. You don’t know when the next feed is, when the last nap happened, or when the next nappy will need changing.
The thing that’s helped me feel grounded through it all has been sewing!
When everything else feels uncertain, having something small you can control, something you can make progress on, something you can actually finish - is worth its weight in gold.
Embroidery kits are little pockets of calm, they’re quick, they’re easy, you can pick them up for five minutes and put them down again without any pressure. And more than that, you can stitch something that captures this very special - if slightly wild - season of life.
So if you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift that gives a new mum a little time for herself, do think about an embroidery kit!
