  2. That picture is so poignant to me. I can be the little girl and that could be my Mama.

    We loved to do crafts together, and help here with the dresses she sews for her lady-patrons.

    Such a lovely sight.

  3. My mom was a dressmaker but I never learned how to sew. It was just not in my genes I believed! :)

    But I remember my mother whenever I read or am reminded about Prov.31. She worked so hard. She was sewing more than dresses. She wove the fabrics of love from her heart and passed it on to us, her family. And what a masterpiece she created with those loving memories when she was here...because of her faith and belief in the true God! Thanks be to God for Proverbs 31 mothers!!!
