I am back home after a few days with my MOM...It is so hard to see her not feeling well...She is usually so vibrant...She is also aging as we all are...She says that being 78 is great until you get sick - takes too long to recover...and besides, how can she beat me at Scrabble if she is laying down...My Mom is quite computer savvy too...She has a huge flat screen monitor,loves Vista and her HP computer set-up......
I have learned so much from my Mom...It is she that taught me the value of education and always to continue learning....My passion for crafting came from her...I learned couture sewing and clothing design right along side her...When she took a Dress Design course by mail (many,many years ago) I took the course too...As she received instruction,she became my teacher....When she took Doll Making and Repair (again by mail) I was able to learn that too...However,I focused more on dress designs for Barbie Dolls and for my Audrey Hepburn Paper Dolls....
Mom has many published articles in Threads,Sew News and other magazines and newspapers...She once had a doll factory in Louisville,Kentucky,has been on television and taught soft doll making in Nashville,Tennessee....She is a Certified Genealogist and has traced her own family back to slavery....She is adding the finishing touches to her memoirs that span from her early childhood to present day...A lot of things change in 70 years......
Why am I writing about my MOM??..........I guess I am remembering how much I love her and how much she has shaped the person that I am...........Moms are great! and God paired me up with a goodie.........
Hug a Mom today....If you can't hug yours - hug somebody else's..........
