Present from my mom

As I have nothing to show from my own work yet, I'm showing the gift from my mom. She also loves crafts (crochet is her specialty), and even though I know how to crochet myself, I prefer cross stitch and therefore I asked her to make this doily for me. She lives in my native country, Slovakia, while I live in the United States, and so we develop this little habbit that while I'm here, she is making some things for me, and when I go to visit her, there is always a nice present waiting for me. I'm also always carrying some present which I cross stitched for her.
The pattern for the doily is from the Slovak magazine.

Pretoze zatial este nemam co ukazat z mojich vlastnych prac, davam sem fotky toho co pre mna

urobila moja mama. One tiez miluje rucne prace, obzvlast hackovanie, a napriek tomu, ze tiez hackujem, poprosila som ju aby mi uhackovala tuto decku. Moja mama byva na Slovensku (ja momentalne v USA) a tak sme si vytvorili taky maly zvyk, ze kym som tu tak ona pre mna stale nieco robi, a ked potom idem domov na Sk, tak ma tam stale caka nejaky darcek. To iste z mojej stranke, ja jej tiez stane nesiem nejake prekvapko co som pre nu vyrobila.
Vzor na tuto decku som nasla v slovenskom casopise, nie som si ista v ktorom, ale mam pocit, ze to bolo v Dorke alebo v Radoch a Napadoch.
