Easy Schmeasy For Mother’s Day

Crochet flower Pincushions

These are so pretty! You could work one or two up very quickly. I think most moms would like them. Teachers too. Get the free pattern at the link below the photo.

Here are a few other easy, quick ideas for mom.

Is your mom always cold like mine is? Why not get her a simple sweatshirt in her favorite color and crochet her a flower that you sew or glue on? You can even just use a small safety pin to affix it from the inside of the shirt. That way, she can move the pretty flower to any shirt she desires. I love this flower for a sweatshirt:

Going with the flower theme, how about decorating a simple terra cotta pot that contains a pretty plant? You can do it like this:

And, what mom wouldn’t like this?

Make several in her favorite colors.

If you love adding little handmade touches to your Christmas decorating, this Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy from CraftBits is such a pretty project. It is festive, eye-catching, and just the sort of small crochet make that can add a lovely pop of holiday color to a table, shelf, or mantel.

What I really like about this pattern is that it feels special without being overwhelming. It is a sweet seasonal project for dressing up battery tea lights, and the poinsettia design gives it that classic Christmas look that never gets old. It would be gorgeous as part of a holiday centerpiece or made up in a few sets for decorating around the house.

You might have seen this one featured on Crochet.CraftGossip before, and it is easy to see why it is worth another look. It is cheerful, decorative, and a lovely way to bring a little crochet into your Christmas styling without taking on a huge project.

If you are in the mood for a small festive make, this one is definitely a pretty pick.
