First I would like to start this post off by saying a big thanks to Marianne over at Family American Style. I won the most beautiful Christmas ornament and I am just so excited about getting to put it on my tree this year. You can go to her blog Show Off You Creation to see how you could win one.
Well going to Marianne website and seeing how she can make such beautiful stuff made me think of all the stuff that my Grandmother could make. I have been thinking of my Grandmother alot lately I guess because on Sept the 9th of 2003 she passed away. I have many regrets about my Grandmother one being that I wish I would have went and seen her more and that she could have spent more time around Ian. I wish she could have meet Bradon and gotten to have know him and the other grand children and great grand children. I wish I could have learned all the stuff that she knew how to do.
I remember my Grandmother got me my first pretty punch kit. It was a poodle and I can't remember if I ever finished it or not but it was so much fun doing. If you have never heard of pretty punching it is is a simple form of needlecraft, kind of like embroidery without all the complicated stitches and knots. She also got me my first latch hook kit that was a cat and that I still have that I made into a pillow.
When me and my husband got married she gave me a quilt and some ceramics that's she made.

This Quilt was a Wedding gift from her.
This is 2 of a set of 4 canisters. I put one of the lids down to show the top.
This is a duck she made and gave to my husband. He loves ducks and had one as a pet when he was a child.
This one is a cookie jar.
This is another quilt she made that I have.
There was nothing that my Grandmother couldn't do as far as crafts go. She quilted, made many things from crochet like crochet bed dolls, and Christmas ornaments. I just couldn't name all the stuff she could make. I just wish I could have learned from her.
So to my Grandmother I love you and miss you so very much. I am so very sorry that I didn't go see you more. I wish I could have learned all the stuff you knew. I just wish we would have had more time. I know you are in a far better place now free from all the pain. So until that day that I get to see you again just know that I love and miss you.
