Happy Mother's day!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Mother's day!

This is my mom...Betty Lou.

I have told you all many many times the tragic tale of my mom....she passed away 20 days after the birth of my only child....she was willing herself to stay alive to see Selina.

She had Rheumatoid arthritis and a terminal lung disease.

She went through years of hardship bringing up my 4 siblings and myself....as a single mom.

Love was not kind to her....after divorcing my dad when I was 2 ...she had enough of men for the rest of her entire life.

She was a great mom...and I would give anything to spend one more Mother's day with her!

She loved animals!

She could play anything on the piano...all you had to do was give her the title to the song.

She was in the navy,

She was smart as a whip,

She was crafty and sewed up our dresses...after working all day as a secretary.

We had the best childhood under the circumstances.

She had a great sense of humor and we were very close.

After working so hard...she had to suffer in her last days....so not fair.

If she were here she would have loved designing patterns with me and going to market.

She would be proud of her big family and she would have been my daughters BFF.

Please enjoy being with your mom if you can today....you can't go back in time.....but you can remember the wonderful times.

Mom - freebie friday pattern design

Wow...It's friday again!

Pretty in Pink

I love the color pink!

And my daughter has been capturing some lovely pink photos lately....such beautiful flowers blooming right now.

I have noticed that this year....the outside is smelling so perfumy and yummy.....much more than last year and the year before.

 

I used to have the biggest Bleeding heart at my first little home....everyone wanted to know how I did it....but I did nothing except water it!

 

We go on lots of walks and Selina always brings her camera.

I like stripes....and a flower with stripes is awesome. 

All my cats have stripes....all 3.  It is like having toddlers around.

 

Blue and pink are a great combination for colors.  Selina also has lots of old fashioned photos, cats, buildings....like barns and churches....she has a real knack.  She has four of her photos in a statewide photos contest that her photography teacher submitted...she has the coolest teachers by the way.

You can see all her prints at her etsy shop...only 12.99 for a print.

I want to leave you with this inspirational quote:

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.

— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Love what you have. Need what you want. Accept what you receive. Give what you can. Always remember, what goes around, comes around...
