Sunday we went to visit my wonderful Nan (my Mum's Mum) where she cooked us lunch, we dug up a tonne of strawberry plants and the raspberry canes that she doesn't want and came home with 2 large bag fulls of crafty things that she had sorted out for me. My Nan is just an amazing lady - at 83 she still does loads of stuff; cooks fantastic 'proper' food; embroiders the most amazing cushions/pictures/boxes plus loads of other pieces; is a do-er; stayed married to a man who was a bully for 60 years, but still misses him now he's gone. She's a true inspiration to me. Right - some of the stuff she gave me:-
Fabric (above 2 pictures).
Old cards cut up to re-use (glad I'm not the only one who does this).
Embroidery silks from kits she has previously finished.
Old embroidery silks - just gorgeous.
Handmade lace by a Great Aunt, amongst newer lace.
Modern non-cotton lace.
One of her WIP that she didn't want to finish - I'll just add it to my list ;-).
