Clarabelle: Mother’s Day in Canada is also a movable feast, 2nd Sunday in May. Why the UK would pick the middle Sunday in Lent, however, is confusing to me… surely they should go with the Date of Conception of the Baby, no? (25 March in my church… I think it’s 8th December for the Catholics, which also makes no sense whatsoever).

Ours (mother day, not conception day) is, by the way, the same date as the US. This is because we have no boundaries of our own.

Holly: tell Ogre that every day is Mother’s Day. That makes those types of acquisitions a bit easier to explain. (My excuse to JJ: Every day is Greek Independence Day… also on 25 March, the day Christ was conceived).

Hmm… perhaps I’m really going crazy after all. Or maybe everything just goes go in circles!

PS. Amy: JJ says “Thank ye”.

But where is Her Ladyship? Don’t say her ‘real’ friends have commandeered her again?

Btw: Monday’s Day was 2 March this year in the UK; just to be typically awkward, it’s not a fixed date, but the middle Sunday in Lent (I had to look that bit up).

I believe Holly has the right idea. You can’t possibly cram enough appreciation into just ONE Mother’s Day. I’m sure my mom would agree.

I made my Montego Bay scarf out of that very color of SeaSilk. Those blue beads are just the very thing needed to make something spectacular.

Tell JJ I said, “Beautiful job on the door flowers.”

There are different Mother’s Days so we can celebrate again, and again, and again.

Please send me the date of your Mother’s Day. I’m going to use it as such…

Ogre says”What is that large package of Chartreuse yarn overflowing from the Eco-Chic bag?”

Snotty response “Back off! It’s UK Mother’s Day!”

Chartreuse, ocean, beads and flowers… lovely restful colour combos to start my week! Thank you so much. And I just thought, why does the UK have a completely different date for Mother’s Day than Canada, the US and Australia (and those are the only ones that I know of for definite)? Why are we such oddities here?

Can’t wait to see the finished Sherwood, duckie!

There you go again… but at least you don’t just stash yarn and beads, you actually use them. And that Moroccan shawl… I think I’m in love.
