About 5 years ago, my maternal grandmother passed away. Prior to my grandfather passing away, he sent many of my grandmother's sewing, knitting and quilting supplies home with my mother. Recently I have been doing some crochet and I have been using Grandma's crochet hooks. I have also had the pleasure of looking through her piles of magazines, pattern booklets and books. I even found a few crochet patterns that were marked as done for me. I remember those crocheted vests and capes! Now as I crochet, I have to wonder, is this the hook Grandma used to crochet one of those treasures?
Just a week ago the family had the estate sale for what remained of my grandparent's possessions. As I looked at the old empty home, I was very glad to know I had the important thing... Memories of grandma sewing, crocheting, knitting, and gardening. Many of her tools I have inherited and it will bring a smile inside every time I use them for my creations!
