am pretty sure there isn't a trumpet big enough
to gloriously express how much my mum has
done for me – from icky nappies to lifts absolutely
everywhere. Which is why we've dedicated the heart
of this issue to the mumsies, the mummy-moos and
the mammas. And, thankfully, with everyone else
thinking of their mums too, you'll nd it's a super-
lucrative time of year to sell as well!
Start with Vicky Craxton's adorable hugging bunnies
(p16).
is
cute pair epitomise that favourite mum skill – warm hugs – and
as a gift they offer the perfect sentiment. Our pretty bird and buttery
Mother's day cards (p49) are a papercraft delight, and Dorothy Wood's
beautiful delft cross-stitch necklace (p28) will be adored by all. We've
some new crafts too this issue – try our exciting cut-out canvas picture
(p34) and our more traditional pressed ower motif on page 74.
For the little ones, we've tropical sh gloves to chase off the last of the
winter chill (p36) and a glorious felt oral headband to celebrate the start
of spring (p44). And, don't forget to read the inspiring real-life stories and
essential craft selling advice too. Happy crafting.
