Her fantastic needlework skills - embroidery, tapestry, counted thread work, dressmaking. She was so gifted.

One more thing was her skill at small talk, she could chat to anyone. I’m ok once I get to know people, Mum could just chat to anyone ( though I would never have described her as extrovert, just good at chatting).

Her ability to make friends easily. In fact her ability to easily recognize people, which is something that I struggle with!

I think I have inherited my mum's nimble fingers for sewing though I can't knit at her speed - she was so fast you couldn't see her fingers move.

Mum’s extrovert personality, she could light up a room.

We were talking about Mother's Day and thinking about the things we really wish we'd inherited from them. For me, it would have to be my mum's singing voice - I can't hold a note, yet she can make a song out of the week's shopping list and sound like she should be on stage. What do you wish you'd inherited from your mum?
