Mother's Day Crafts

We've been home sick with a bad cold for a week now.  We are slowly on the mend and we may just be able to must up enough energy for a mother's day craft or two today.  Here are a few ideas we're contemplating:

This one is a little ambitious for how we are feeling today as we would have to actually leave the house for supplies (not to mention use power tools!). From Instructables user jholland via Craft Magazine.

We will definitely need to make cards.  I'm finding lots of inspiration, like the first three cards shown above, at the Hero Club Blog and my daughter would enjoy lacing a card like the forth one pictured above from Craft Magazine.

For a kid's craft, I really like the idea of these flower prints from Ordinary Life Magic via The Crafty Crow.  They would be great framed in embroidery hoops Grandma could hang and keep or change out with the next craft project.

If we can't find enough flowers to make it work, we can try using dandelions as paintbrushes as suggested in Craft Caravan's May email.  We do have those!
