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.

Happy Sewing,
Thanks for the quotes, Maree. I’ve saved a copy of them to cheer me up when I’m feeling “older”!!
I’ve just reached the big six zero, and my saying is that it’s better to reach X years, than the alternative….
