I began for myself but as the steps added up, I started thinking of my mom.

I don’t remember when was the last time I bought her a bag, a scarf or clothes…

My mom always said that she didn’t need anything and I was silly enough to believe that.

There are very few things I’ve given my mom in the past decade. I wish I knew that I would live abroad and I wouldn’t be able to meet her often.

Now I am a mother of three girls and whenever my girls ask me what I want for Christmas, for birthday or for anniversary, my answer is always anything handmade. I don’t want my girls spend their allowances for the products you can buy anywhere any time.

I want my girls to give me their time because it’s getting hard to give and receive as we get old.

I am happy that I can give something handmade to my mom that I know she will love it!

  1. She will love it – of course she will. A mother loves anything made especially for her by a son or daughter and will keep it and love it for years to come. This bag is beautiful Minki.

    1. My mom keeps all kinds of things I made. She still has my very first apron that I made in middle school. I am collecting my girls drawings too. 🙂
      Thank you Ann! xoxo
