A sweet little gift for a very kind friend.

 I have been having a little bit of a rough patch in my life for the last couple of months. I have a wonderful friend who has been there for me with her encouragement and kindness.

To show my gratitude I came up with this little gift:

I found this cute mug with violets on it at an antique mall. Then I went and got a pretty little viola flower and planted it. Viola's like well drained soil so I first put some small pebbles in the bottom of the mug.

I presented her with my gift last weekend and she loved it.

I love making handmade gifts, they are fun to make and a delight to give!
