Happy Mother’s Day! + Woodworking Project

in #mother7 years ago

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms here on Steemit! Hope you each had an awesome day!

We have been celebrating mom this weekend here at our house and with some other family that lives in the area. A good mom is so important in peoples' lives and their development, and I am blessed to have a wife who is a fantastic mother to our kids and is very dedicated and loving to them.

One thing I have done for the last few years for my wife on Mother's Day is worked with the kids to make a special project for mom. I enjoy using my hands (though my skills are somewhat limited based on not too much experience) so we usually do something out of wood.

This year was no different - we made a wooden spoon for mom out of a block of wood and then did some wood burning to make it even more special. Here was the finished project:

It took us longer to make than I would have anticipated, but I do not have a formal workshop with lots of tools for specific things, so we used what we had as well as our muscles to cut, carve and sand the wood into a useable spoon. The spoon is fairly substantial and large, so I was joking that it is the only spoon in the city that could knock an intruder out cold or break a car window with ease! There are a few things I would do differently next time, such as not eyeball the design and actually measure a little, as the spoon is slightly lopsided - but hey, the imperfection just shows how much effort we put in right? Here are a couple of pictures of the progress:

Happy Mother's Day, I'm surprised that even if you do not have many tools you made a nice gift to your wife, you have many skills but the most important is that you are a good father, son and husband, you and your wife form a great team to those children so beautiful

Nobody can take the place of a mother.your family photo is awesome and loving.it will give sence to many bad people.and your project was too good.what could be best than a mother in life.

Mothers day should be the way everyone treats their mother every day! It's so comforting to impress Mom with a new gift or a new food, like I do. Your wood spoon shows the dedication and the capability of showing affection in every single detail, and like so, the love and appreciation you have for your wife! Congratulations and keep doing this kind of things! Regards from Venezuela :) Upvoted and followed.

What an amazing gesture!!! I think it is so much nicer when the kids make something for mom. It is so nice to see that you spiked your last on Mother’s Day. Here’s wishing her an amazing Mother’s Day for all the hard work and love. Mothers are to be cherished!!!

That's not too bad..
And more it's the love that counts, the love you put in making this spoon makes it all the more wonderful.

You have a beautiful family, happy day for your wife
The spoon was very good I think it has a lot of skill with your hands, even if you say that it does not fit very well I think it would have taken me much longer, it's a nice detail @brian.rrr

Ah I really like that. I do similar things with my sons. Feel free to check out the woodworking community , this is just the sort of thing we want to see
. Thanks

mothers day is very important day for every mother
as nothing can replace mother but it gives some sorrow to those peoples who have lost his mother

Happy Mother's Day dear @brain.rrr. You have such a small happy family. I love my mother most in the world. I also appreciate your woodworking project as it's special for mother's day.

On World Mother's Day, many mothers love and respect many mothers

My respect to all moms in the world. The spoon is a little surprise for them. It is a great idea @brain.rrr

I loved it! the gifts made with our own hands, have a sentimental value that makes it very special! Your wife is sure to want to use it very soon, I hope you have a great time, thanks for my congratulations.

Nothing more beautiful for a mother to give her something done by our hands than they see the effort that was put to give something special.

Our mothers efforts are greater than making a spoon. But she is happy to see the little work. Moms are always great.

Nice art work,,Happy Mother's Day..

Congratulations @brian.rrr
happy mother's day to all mothers ... love my mom with mother's day

Happy day to all mothers especially, to my mother the most beautiful of all @tatty .

Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but ... life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.. Happy mothers day .. @brian.rrr

Sir @brian.rrr

Really u have a happy family. I think mother is best gift from god.

what a great idea for a present , homemade is sometimes the best x

Happy Mother's Day also @brian.rrr
Mother is a very meritorious in this life. No one can afford a mother's affection for her child.

That is a very creative gift...... lifetime of memories.

Happy mother's day to all mothers ...Mothers are god .

Mothers deserve the best gift, but certainly for a mother the best gift will always be to share with her honor and dedicate time. Friend I would like to take a look at my last post

How great that you do this kind of things to your mother, you know my children took me to eat in a mall and it is very pleasant to enjoy these things as you will in the future with your children and enjoy the day of the father.
