BTW, I do have to tell you.....today is the 2 year anniversary of losing my mom.....so getting thru today has been tough so far.........maybe one day I will tell you about how I ended up with 2 moms.....but this is the one that raised me......I learned to sew by peeking over her shoulder. She was my female version of my soulmate.......shortly after she died I realized that I had done alot to grow up to be a bit like her......she was a homemaker, she sewed, put veggies up in the summer for her family, kept a spotless house(I'm still working on this one), was always there when someone needed something, loved her family fiercely, had more stamina and endurance than you can imagine. I still can't cook like her though.....my Dh says I can pack a house, cabinet or a suitcase just as well as mama.....She never got to see my sewing room, and I'm always catching myself wishing I could show her my latest project. I'll love that dear, sweet woman dearly til the day I die.
This was taken Christmas 2005.......

Sorry about your mom. I can't even begin to imagine how you must feel, but my thoughts are with you today. Sending hugs!!
Oh sweetie, I'm sitting here thinking about calling you and I will. I just got home from a rummage sale. I'm saying a wee prayer for you today too!
(((HUGS)))) to you and I know how hard it is too as my Mum has been gone now for just over 4 years. Just keep thinking she is now looking over your shoulder :) She is probably helping you do your sewing too :) Hugs Vicki
It is such a hard thing to lose your Mom. I was in my 20's when my Mom died suddenly. There just isn't anyone like your Mom to fill that place. Thinking of you and sending hugs. {{{}}}
Well said my dear sister!
