Blankets

I came from fiber artists.

My Oma was a knitter, crocheter, tatter, and seamstress.

My mother is a seamstress and quilter.

They have both made me MANY blankets.

In turn, this summer I need to get working.

I have four sets of people getting married this summer, and I want to make blankets for all of them.

Passing on a loving tradition.

And Today

I am sorry for the lack of photos today.

Also... I have not really posted a lot this week.... or few weeks.
We lost my grandmother (Oma) this week, and I am in my hometown. She was the one that gave me great love for fiber arts.
She was a sewer, knitter, crocheter, tatter, mender, darner... all of the things really.
She passed the sewing love to my mother, and all of the things to me.

I am the last knitter in my family.

Strange, but I feel pretty happy today. Oma lived to 91, and gave love to all of us.

I am going to continue to be sad sometimes, but will make the active choice to be happy now. I was gifted her knitting supplies, and button box... and will make things to honor her.

Let us be more beautiful, see more good, make all of the things, and love the most.

Home

I'm home for the funeral of my Oma.

She was the first to teach me how to knit.
