#Mother's Day Proclamation
In honor of the Mother's Day Holiday, I've been looking around and found a few bits and bites I found very interesting.
Philadelphia activist Anna Jarvis (1864-1948) came up with the idea for “Mother’s Day” at the beginning of the 20th century as a tribute to her mother.
On May 10, 1908, in what is considered the first Mother’s Day celebration, she sent 500 carnations to Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church, her mother’s church in Grafton, W.Va. (now a National Historic Landmark since 1992).
The event received an enormously positive response, and after extensive lobbying and letter-writing efforts, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation on May 9, 1914, declaring the second Sunday of May “a public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.”

#WorldsBiggestStocking One Piece Finished
So happy to share my finished piece to add to the wonderful #WorldsBiggestStocking project!
As you can see I used the Corner to Corner method or C2C. I am new to crochet so I love learning and I find that YouTube/Learn to Crochet Video Series is a wonderful tool!
Since my husband had a stroke last August I am now no longer working outside of my home. (Not that staying home is not work!) I find that the Crochet Community in whole is some of the friendliest and generous of heart, time and knowledge. I am making some wonderful connections with so many talents!

I have started on my second donation, and I enjoy each and every stitch. When it is completed I will be getting back to my first BIG WIP... If you can help or just help to spread the word about this huge effort, it
would be so gratefully appreciated!
The Stocking
- The stocking is anticipated to be recorded in the World’s Guinness World Records.
- Be part of history by participating.
- They need about 3,000 – 4,000 squares to make this happen.
- Your square can be unique and in any color design that suits you. Choose something that means something to you or your family.
- The purpose of the stocking is to raise awareness of children in need recognized by the Children of Fallen Patriots® Foundation.
Squares 36″
- Your square must be 36″ x 36″ Square.
- The design is up to you but Yarnspirations does have some designs to consider.
- Yarnspirations.com is asking you use the Caron United Yarn so that the yarn purchases build the Scholarship Funds.
- Be mindful that your square will be used afterwards and given to someone in need. Be creative but also think about the person who will own your square afters.
- These squares make the ideal baby blanket.
Enjoy this wonderful May weather and linking up!
