A Simple Tribute

Today is the 6th year since my dear Mom's passing. So I thought it would be nice to dedicate this post in her honor. She was a teacher by profession but became a fulltime homemaker when she married Dad. A good knitter, she also took up sewing classes (I remember the sweaters and matching outfits she did for me and my sis, the table runners, the curtains, etc.) How I wish I learned those skills. But moms are always there to support where your heart is really into...

This is my first finished cross stitch effort (can't remember how old I was then). She had it framed right away and put it in their bedroom where it hangs to this day (where my dad sees it just above the mirror). Since then I would stitch presents for her, she loved garden themes. Her pride and joy in my craft added to my happiness in stitching. Oh, I'm getting emotional now. I just love and miss her so. Thanks Mom for everything...
