I inherited this nice sewing box when my Mom passed away. It’s nearing the one year anniversary since she left us. Lots of feelings right now.

To say that I think of her often is a true understatement. She’s ever-present. Being an at-home parent now, like she was, certainly affords me time to reflect upon her Mothering days.

This sewing box is special to me because I remember sifting-through it and sorting it for her since an early age. While I do consider her as more of a knitter, she still found time to stitch and hem too. She was quite skilled in both realms.

This said, when it came time for Dee and I to utilize some of the needles and thread inside I couldn’t help but feel Mom’s presence. I know for a fact that she would’ve loved to see our two little owls run about and she’d think the labor-of-love was pretty neat.

Love you a whole bunchie-onechies Mom.
