What a great way to keep her mentally and physically active! I will try the mug rug idea out on my 84 year old mother. Must make them feel important :-D

Your mom is a gem - a diamond of the best. Good for her.

I called her this a.m. to ask what she was doing, and basically check up on her.

Her answer: "Making mug rugs"! I didn't even know she knew what mug rugs were!!! LOL

I just love her!!!

My loving mom is 85 and sewed all her life[with 6 kids: myself and 5 boys] but we just found out she was admitted to Hospice[in Mi.] and we live in SC. Will go see her soon. I will hate the thoughts of her machine running all the time making things for us, G. kids and GG. kids. from babies on. Love you mom~!~~~ Prayers are WELCOME too! Thanks!!
