A memories of my mom..

Today .......... 35 years ago i lost my mother to cancer, she was 54 years old, there is a lot of memory of her, she has done so much for us kids, there was 4 of us 2 brother and 1 sister. We live on a small farm and sometimes the winter was really hard, because dad didn't have work in the winter month, but with all the canning and other thing we had on the farm we did get by. Mom always made sure everything was clean and neat and made time for us, there was so many special thing she has done for us and i could go on and on, ,just one more thing, mom didn't do very much sewing, but i remember the little thing she has made, she would make doll cloths for my dolls and show me how to sew and make clothe for my doll, she has make us girls little jumper and skirts to wear,also made me a real pretty apron for me to have to wear in a Thanksgiving dinner at our church, she didn't have a sewing machine everything she done was by her hand and with four kids there was a lot of patch work to be done too. Mom is miss every day and we all love you. Merry Christmas to you in Heavens.

in my sewing room------ Yes, in my sewing room!

A very cold day today with some light snow. ...........
Sunday , we didn't have Church, it was call off because of the weather, so I made a pot of chili and bake some brownie for dinner. Just had my Mother in law for dinner the Girls and grand did't come up to day. I work on the family tree and the mantle for Christmas ,now they are done, and got my Christmas cards ready to mail, my Sunday was a good Sunday! I have three of my grands today, no school for them, they have been playing in the snow , it is almost to cold for them to be out. Watching them bring back memories of my snow days when we didn't have school, in the little town i lives in ,all of my friends would get together and go sleighing, it was a all day thing we had so much fun, there was this big hill we would go to, we had a old car hood and a big bunch would get on it and go down and it was a way down the hill, now the hill has got a new house there and it is behind the quilt shop that i work at for a while. Those was the days and time goes so fast!........
I'm in my sewing room and I'm going to put a binding on my Christmas quilt, and guess that will be all i will get done today.......
Everyone stay warm and have Bless day!
GOD IS GOOD!

in my sewing room------ Every have these monent!

Well for some reason i have been making myself to decorate for the holiday, I do a little every day but i just can't get in the mood and i am doing less this year. I had trouble with my prelit tree some of the light won't work, i had to work with them and gave up and put light on it extra, this is the last year for this tree, or I think it is. Don't have my shopping done not any gift wrap, GOSH ! just going in slow mode. Does any one how have these day? Maybe next time i will post i can say its done! Enough!..........
As for as my sewing still working on curtain for my daughter ,hope to finish them today, if anyone need allot of blue ruffles that came off of curtains just let me know. I all so made a gift my brother and his wife for their anniversary, i took burlap fabric and made a bag and stiffened it with glue and water them stuff it to dry, i made candy canes out of fabric , batting and a coat hanger cut in to candy cane, brush glue on them and sprinkle mica flakes to give them a that sparkle, make little primitive snowmen and put that in the bag with the candy cane and a battery operate candle and greenery and it sure did turn out really country lookin, they sure did like it.
A memory, We use to go out and cut a cedar tree for Christmas ,it would take us most of the day to find that perfect tree and the smell of the cedar in the room was good to smell. I would also cut a smaller tree for my girls room and they would decorate it them self. We live in a mobile home at that time, i remember when we set it up it was the biggest one at that time now they make them like big home, we live in it for about 7 years and them we built us a house in 1973 and it is still our home, a happy home! well any way i just had the one tree and that was all i would decorate .I kept telling myself I'm getting older and I think it is time to cut back. I guess time will tell..............
Out of the past and back to now, today i have little fellow, he will be spending the night with us, his mother and father has got a Christmas program going on tonight for his sister, i would like to go but it is better for me to kept him here he kind get tired it if is very long program. He love to spend the night, he like to spend time with his pappy..............
I guess this is all for now i better get my work done because it won't get done with me setting here. Sorry no pictures but someday there will be pictures of what i do....
God is good, all the time......
