Nothing makes mom happier than to see all of her mom's beautiful handmade Christmas ornaments each year. She was one very talented and crafty lady! She's been gone four years now and we miss her a lot.
Gram loved to save beautiful cards and she would trace them onto very thin wood that she cut out on her own little jigsaw and then she would paint them white and then she would do pen and ink and "wash" them with color.
Some of them are so fragile that you have to be ever so careful.
Each and every one of them makes mom smile.
Mom has many of Gram's handmade ornaments and she feels so fortunate to be the caretaker of them.
Do you see that garland over the covered fireplace? Gram also made cross-stitched ornaments.
These are a few of them.
We sure do love Christmas time.
Happy first day of Winter!
Love ya lots♥

Happy First Day of Winter and you look so comfy on the bed Molly. We love your Mom's ornaments and feel so lucky to have the ones you gave us. They look fantastic on our tree and we love homemade items they are so special.
ReplyDeleteI never managed to master the art of cross stitch. I can embroider which my Gran taught me but cross stitch just gets away from me!! We love your tree and decorations.
