My Mother's 80th Birthday Apron!

Friday, March 26th, 2010

What a milestone ??? my mother turned 80 years old on Monday 22nd March 2010! And what a life she has had so far and the energy and vitality she still has today is truly inspiring.

Jacqueline and I also made an apron in her favourite colour ???green??? and embroidered an 80th on the pocket to mark the occasion! Of course it???s now her new favourite apron.

We had a wonderful time helping her celebrate this special occasion with our family.
