I have some crocheted pieces my mother made. Two decorative Christmas red and white pot holders remind me of her each time I set them out over the holidays.<br /><br />There is just something special about hand needle work. Especially when made by a departed loved one.Chancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888087428059834691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-86644497972963905032009-05-14T07:57:00.000-07:002009-05-14T07:57:00.000-07:00I love old stuff, old memories, old places.

Something so solid and satisfying is passed to me when holding a relic of the past.<br /><br />I can conjure all sorts of images of its history, be it a photograph, a quilt, a lamp,or a rough country kitchen utensil.<br /><br />Its obvious you get much joy from this rug, and would just as soon give your house away rather than lose this memento.

My mother died in 1994, before reaching age 80.

Everyone in the neighborhood was in the same boat.<br /><br />My mother would go around the house singing, smiling, cooking and baking! That's how I remember her.millie garfieldhttp://mymomsblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-69650958870114954902009-05-12T09:48:00.000-07:002009-05-12T09:48:00.000-07:00Your mother was a woman of tremendous courage.

I wish my mother would have been so inclined to such things; but she was never into such crafts. I, on the other hand, love them. My mother's eyes were very bad at the end of her 87 year old life too. We do miss them don't we?Joy Des Jardinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893445642606862131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-32344438347640210772009-05-11T09:17:00.000-07:002009-05-11T09:17:00.000-07:00I love the way you write about your mother's life ...I love the way you write about your mother's life and influence in your life.

Ha...I don't think we ever stop missing our Moms. H<br /><br />Hardship was common among their generation and they showed courage and determination as they surmounted it.

She lost two babies during that time, then had we three girls. She too was always an optimist and loved by everyone who met her.We all miss her so very much....HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU..Mary M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10957775586910455042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-7690058225540933552009-05-10T05:40:00.000-07:002009-05-10T05:40:00.000-07:00A lovely tribute.
