Tribute to my Mother

My Mother as a young woman - so pretty!!!


My Mother grew up on a farm in Minnesota, the youngest of eight children.  She later married by Dad and they moved to Beardsley, Minnesota and later to Ortonville, Minnesota where my Dad was Big Stone County auditor for many years.

My Mother taught me to love gardening and flowers which is my passion to this day.  One of her favorite flowers was the peony and it is also my favorite.



She spent many hours teaching me how to knit which I do today.  I made many, many scarves and later a few afghans.  I have graduated to socks and sweaters.



I miss her this Mother's Day

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas . . . .

     Blossom has found her favorite spot under the tree and she is waiting patiently
     for her present!!!!!!!!
So, its time for me to get busy and do some knitting.  A friend of mine sent me a pattern for covering soap with some cute knitted wool covers.    I found my stash of yarn and I have the soap  -- it's time to start knitting.

Which to do????

This cool day in September makes me want to do a little weaving.

Or, a lot of weaving!!!
Or maybe I'll just sit back and relax and work on this pair of socks.
OR, maybe I'll take a nap..........
