Still here....

Grandpa and Grandma Ellis engagement photo, 

see how beautiful they are.

They were married for 70 years!

Because Grandpa Ellis served his country, 

 we got to witness a 21 gun salute. 

After the funeral, the family was given the empty bullet casings.

I thought what are we going to do with a bullet shell, 

besides but it in a memory box.

Really never to be looked at again. 

So I thought of this. 

The letter "V" for his name Vear.

The fish and fish hook because he loved fishing.

I still have yet to add a deep blue crystal, his favorite color. 

I love this tribute to Grandpa. 

I might not have known him for a very long time, 

but he did make a difference in my life.

I thought it would be nice to have him look at it whenever I wear the necklace.

Look at this fabric, 

try not to drool.

Grandma Ellis, gave them to me. 

She said the next time I come to visit her, 

she will give me more. 

Yes, we are going to visit her again in July. 

I thought the red white and blue striped fabric 

totally reminded me of this dress from Prada.

And this one too. 

She is excited to see what I am going to make with them.

Any other fun ideas, you have?
