Heirlooms

Heirlooms are pretty cool.

 I am the youngest daughter in my family, so I am not going to be getting really anything like jewelery or houses from my grandparents. Although I will say that this most recent time I visited my parents, I did get some fun things. 

This would have to be my favorite. This is a knitting needle holder thing. 

It was my great grandmothers, who traveled through Ellis Island!

I have always loved this, the bright colors of the flowers, and all the pointy objects inside.

I have since incorporated my crochet hooks with my great grandmas, but I still love looking at hers. 

I don't think I will ever use them for fear of breaking them, because some of them are bone! 

But I do love them and cherish them.

heirloom knitting needles?! Oh sad am I??

Since I am talking about Great Grandma's.... my Grandma on my mother's side. 

She had retinitis pigmentosa or "tunnel vision" but she never stopped crafting. 

Plastic canvas was her thing. 

She had a whole plastic canvas town underneath the Christmas tree, with the train. 

I always was amazed by her, because she really couldn't see, but she still did what she loved. 

This next project has been inspired by her, here is just a sneak peek

I thought I would be done by now, but it is taking forever!!
