(Not sure what happened to me but the "pretty" gene did NOT quite take ha ha) ALL of them were hard working and so smart! My Great Grandmother lived to be 87 I think, and I was lucky to visit her in 1989 which was the last time. Emily IS so very pretty and super smart. I feel very fortunate to have had them all in my life :D Carla - Alaska Wolf Packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15611728604335474120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103520050119165197.post-42890860239940361022015-02-17T21:04:16.660-07:002015-02-17T21:04:16.660-07:00That room was an incredible plethora of awesome! ...That room was an incredible plethora of awesome!

I never new either of my grandmother's, but dad had a friend that stood in their place (her son was Dad's best man) May didn't teach me to knit or anything crafty, she did teach me how to play the slots in Vegas, but she herself was a beserker knitter, I think everyone she knew had an afghan from May, including me.katjakayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747314656450153553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103520050119165197.post-82180745805898222422015-02-13T09:08:32.705-07:002015-02-13T09:08:32.705-07:00What a wonderful post, thank you for sharing.

I'm glad you still have the needles and quilts.<br />I never knew my maternal family, and my Grandma (paternal, of course) passed away a few years ago. I hadn't realized that she'd taken my mother's knitting needles and crochet hooks from my father for me (my mother died when I was little), and I found them when we cleaned out her house (my cousin and aunt were very "duh, you didn't know she made sure to get these for you?!"). My mother was an accomplished yarn-user and needlepointer - I still have one of her Wysocki needlepoints finished into a pillow. I think it illustrates how important crafting can be, when a mother dies and the first thing the grandmother does is grab the tools a future generation will need, to make sure they're not lost. I think it is amazing how crafting gifts us with such great memories.Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137247054609834103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103520050119165197.post-21352950574471978932015-02-12T08:35:14.232-07:002015-02-12T08:35:14.232-07:00I wish my grandmother was still alive as well.
