My mother-in-law died on Saturday morning. I had the privilege of sitting at her bedside for her last few days.
While there, I chatted to her, I sang to her, we listened to music and I also did some coloring of anodised aluminum.
Here is one of the pieces I made that was inspired by her - a tartan (plaid) design bangle. Lavinia was Scottish and, as a Baillie, the family has its own tartan - Baillie Tartan - shown below:
Although my bangle doesn't depict the Baillie tartan - I did use the same green, blue and orange in it!
Excuse the quality of the photos as I only have my phone and no lighting set up here in the UK!

Thinking of you and John and your families. What a beautiful image picturing you singing to mother-in-law with your lovely voice, listening to music, and being with her during this time. I love the tartan bangle, too!
A great remembrance!
