wished to have had. she made all our clothes when we were young. matching dresses when we were very little, with big gathered skirts and bows that tied at the back. lots of cute 60's shift dresses when i was younger, in the 70's we had hot pants, see through blouses ! (what a little tart i was!) christmas day was always special, one year she stayed up till the small hours making stuffed toys for us. a lovely pair of grey donkeys.
i don't know where she got the energy from.
my mum had a great owl collection. she loved owls, and was "speckly owl" when she was a brownie leader.
