May is busy!

May is quite a busy month around here. I've got mother's day, Derek's b-day, and my mom's b-day all in a row. Maybe that explains where I've been all week. I went with nearly all handmade gifts for each occassion this year. Not everything was made by me, but it was nice gifting unique and interesting things.

Here's what my mom received for Mother's Day:

This is another print from YumiYumi. I cut it down a bit and found this great frame for it. I think it's absolutely adorable!

I won't post pictures here of everything I gave Derek for his birthday, but here are some links in case you want to see:

some beer soap
a Chihuahua T
a mac'n'cheese T
a Black Flag wallet
and a few other goodies like dvds, a cd, and some video games

Notice all of the American Apparel in there? I was originally going to go with just a bunch of plain AA stuff since that's his favorite clothing, but why not make it better with a great screen print? I love the Chihuahua one!

I made my mom's birthday present...but her birthday's not until tomorrow so I'm not showing a picture of it yet. She was thinking about coming to visit here tomorrow, but decided not to. It's kind of sad, because we usually go somewhere on her birthday. Usually a mall, but even if we don't buy anything it's still fun! Now instead I'll be forced to clean all day. That way I can get back to some sewing.
