UPDATED SUNDAY 11.00AM Hi gals, I've been busy with Mum, kids, Op Shop etc. In the time I find free I'm making some little purses.

Thanks so much Shirley, the pink section on the inside of the black one makes it special I thought, love Chris

Hi Shirley, thanks for your comments. You won't believe what I did during this week. I thought I'd put the correct size of the 7x11 onto my sewing machine screen, only to find out once finished I'd actually sewn out the 6x10, so of course it didn't fit with the other panels! Even experienced sewers, like me, still make mistakes.
So today I've sewn out the correct size in between visits from Amy and Ophelie and cooking soup and going to the gym. Anyway I've got a new section finished! Hooray.
Amy and Ophelie went to see Mum and of course she didn't recognise Ophelie! Amy said she had tears in her eyes when she was saying goodbye to Mum. It's so sad! Love Chris

I lost my dear sister last August to dementia. When the Grandchildren would visit she would hug them and say I can’t remember your name but I know I love you. It is such a sad disease. She was the last of my 15 siblings. I felt so lost at the funeral. But I know she is in a better place. We lost our last brother less than 3 months before losing her.

Thanks Toogie, I smile every time I see it too as I remember us all laughing at Steve trying to make Mum laugh. I do my best with her wardrobe, make up seems not so important to her these days, but I like to have her wearing a little bit. We went shopping last week and got her 5 new cardigans, shirts etc. I've picked out one of the new blue cardigans for her today. I'll get a picture of her today in it. Love Chris

Hi Suzanna, thanks for your concern, don't worry about me, I'm fine. Life is just busy at the moment. I am going to see Mum today after gym as she gets her hair done every Thursday and we like to have a Coffee at the cafe on the ground floor of her Nursing home. Love Chris

Hi Suzanne, thanks for your comments. It was a lovely day and we all enjoyed being with Mum, albeit her not knowing their names, but it's times like these that create such great memories. Love Chris
