“You take the kids and go home,” I told my husband. “I’ll finish up.”
I nodded. “Go. You’ve all worked hard. I won’t be but an hour.”
Yet another promise I hadn’t kept.
“Quit sulking,” mom said, her blue eyes patient and kind. “It’s a useful skill to have.”
“But we can just go to the store and buy a skirt. Why do I have to make one?”
Mom gathered the fabric and draped it around my waist. The ends didn’t meet.
“Did you measure twice before you cut?”
“Go,” she sighed. “We’ll try again later.”

This was a beautiful read. I’m sure your mum had tears in her eyes as she watched over you -I certainly did ππ»
Thank you! The mother in the story is based on my mom, though fortunately mine is still with me. She is still trying to get me interested in sewing, however I doubt even her abilities at convincing me it’s fun! π
My Mum was a dressmaker but I certainly didn’t follow in her footsteps! Knitting is my thing ππ»
Mine is crochet! I just started doing the crocheted animals-anigurumi. What’s your preference when knitting?
Yep, I love the anigurumi too. We have a store on etsy http://www.littleowlsandpals.etsy.com ππ»
Cool site! I love the more owls and the fox. Thanks for sharing π
I mean I love the *little owls*
Thanks ππ»
