Had my mother over to stay the night on Sunday, made her lunch and dinner, cut and colored her hair, embroidered this shirt, made dinner for her, then took her to my dental office to clean her teeth on Monday. (Daughterly duties)She loves music and picked out this awesome mylar design from Augua Santa website for her shirt. She enjoyed watching my machine work, and also picking out the thread colors. I love mylar. The photo doesn't show the reflexions well but the blue thread with the bluish mylar from the dollar store turned out fabulous. Check out Augua Santa's site for many mylar designs. LOVE THEM!!!

What a lovely time together with your Mom. I am sure she enjoyed every minute with you.

Thank you so much!! I sure will. She will love it when I show her all of the attention she is getting on the computer. It will make her day!!

You have a lovely Mother with a lovely name! I say that because it is also my first name, but I go by the middle one.My GM's name was Etta. I also still have my Mother, my Dad passed away a few years ago. She still lives alone, but all 4 of her children live close by. I know I will really miss her when she is gone, so I try really hard to do as much with her as I can. You will not be sorry for taking the time to pamper her. The shirt is so nice, I also like to stitch using mylar.

Thank you Etta (middle one) he he! So sorry about your father, mine passed away in 2009, so I do know the feeling of losing a parent. It is not easy. I just try to focuss on the good memories!!!

You are the daughter most mothers only dream of. She did a good job raising you.

Thank you Maria. I know she had a great visit. I should do it more often. She has been asking for some time now when she can come to my place to stay the night.

What a nice thing to do. Your Mom is very blessed to have you.

Thank you so much for saying that. I hope I am doing enough. I actually enjoyed the embroidery part. The rest was work.

Your mother did a good job picking out her design and thread colors. You both did a nice project together.

I try to do what I can, she has many medical issues along with obesity which makes it difficult for her. I want her to have what I have. I cannot make her young again though. Years ago she used to sing in a band, and also for the church choir. She doesn't anymore but she still loves music. Thank you
