I've always liked the idea of making a candle in a teacup, so when trying to decide what to make my Mum for Mother's Day I thought I'd give this a go with a  lovely vintage style teacup and saucer that caught my eye at a charity shop a few months ago.

It's Mother's Day in the UK this coming Sunday. I just found out that in the US its in May and that made me wonder about all of the other countries in the world.
