"From my mother" and paragraph grammar 2

Question

How do you say, "They are from my mother?" My attempt is, "Ellos son de mi madre." I looked in the dictionary, and it said "from" was "de", but I want to know that I'm using it correctly.

Also, please check my attempt of writing a pargraph on my favorite shoes for a writing exercise:

Esos son mi zapatos favorito. Ellos son negros y muy bonitos. Me los encantan. Los zapatos son de madre. Ellos son mi regalo de cumpleaños.

I was trying to say:

These are my favorite shoes. They are black and very pretty. I love them. The shoes are from my mother. They are my birthday present.

Answer 2

The only problem with yours coffee is that my spanish teacher hasn't taught us past tense, we only know present, and she doesn't want us using it until she teaches it.... Any other suggestions, anyone?
