a pillow my friend made for one of the "girls" for Christmas

She is truly a master!

For those of us that learned to sew at Mother's knee.

Me and my Mom in the early 60's. What a simpler time!

A Busy Woman's Dream - for my Daughter-in-Laws

A Busy Woman Dreams
Tomorrow,With a careless air,
I shall say, I will be gone for the day!
I shall put on my blue gown,
And in leisured way
Go to town.
There, I shall stop
At the newly opened shop
Where they keep such lovely things,
And, in unhurried way
Choose from some intriguing place
A richly colored robe,
Or some fine old lace;
Then, I shall browseIn the bookstand nearby,
Selecting some new book...
Tomorrow, I shall put
All waiting tasks upon the shelf
And spend one easy, carefree day
With my own self.
- Katherine Edelman

Happy Mother's Day

We went for a drive last weekend and snapped some pictures of Wisteria
