My mother's hands were not able to finish the Easter table cloth she started. I have tried to finish it over the last years, but somehow every time it comes out of the bag and gets put back again.
This year she would have become 100 years old if she was still there. I remember saying to her: with all the things you have in mind to see and do even becoming 200 years would not be enough.
Lovely memories are cherished (and continued) on her Easter traditions.
So beautiful your mother's table cloth!
ReplyDeleteVery tender this post, Jacoba! Lovely, indeed! :-)
Ja, inderdaad heel mooie post.
ReplyDeleteWat een herinneringen zitten er vast aan zo'n onafgemaakt tafelkleed, he?

It is lovely. Some things take a lifetime or more to finish ... a little love.......
ReplyDeleteEen bijzondere herinnering aan je bijzondere moeder. Wat mooi dat je dit bewaard hebt Jacoba.

Somewhere in my pile of stuff I have a really intricate sampler I started in 1987. It is 7/8 done and very country. I don't have the desire right now to ever finish it...maybe someone will long after I'm gone.
ReplyDeleteSweet post....beautiful cloth!

Your mother's work is beautiful! And that is certainly a piece to treasure.
ReplyDeleteWat een mooi, vrolijk kleed. Alle gevoelens die je erbij hebt...
ReplyDeleteMet jou denk ik dit nu voortaan ook maar, in 200 jaar lukt ook niet alles.
Als er ergens een intekenlijst hing, waarop ik kon intekenen voor een tweede leven, zou ik 't onmiddellijk doen!
Jij?
Fijn weekend!
What a beautiful piece of work and a beautiful piece of memory. Treasures to hold onto. Big hug
ReplyDeleteOh...this is so beautiful. 100 years... my mother-in-law is 100 years old and blessings of blessings, still with us (Although she is more often than not 80 years earlier in thought...)! Imagine them being little girls together so many years ago... Blessings,

Hello, Jacoba! Thank you for visiting my blog on Easter! Your post is very meaningful to me today. My dear 80 year old mother is sitting beside me sewing as I type. How I treasure the days I get to spend with her!
ReplyDeleteDear Jacoba,
ReplyDeletewhat a touching post my sweet friend. I know what your feelings are. My mom passed away 4 years ago and not one day has gone past since that I haven't thought of her. I, like you, treasure every memory I have of her and this is bringing so much comfort to me even though she is no longer with me...
Your mother's needlework is gorgeous.
Hugs

Niet meer wegsteken dus, goed zichtbaar laten liggen, dan raakt het heus wel afgewerkt. Het is zo snoezig!
ReplyDeleteJust today we celebrate Mother's Day and your post is really special in this day...
