Happy Halloween ! Please be safe and have fun tonight.
One of my great joys is being a grandma. We are fortunate to live close enough to our oldest granddaughter to get to spend a lot of time with her. Since she has been very young I have been crafting with her. It is wonderful to see the joy and sense of accomplishment on her face when she makes something to give as a gift . Her latest has been working with us in the workshop learning how to make paper beads . Her mother has been the recipient of some great earrings made by these precious little hands. I think it is important to pass on the love of creating to the next generation be it painting,quilting,writing or jewelry making. Teaching them to respect all things in nature and open their eyes to all possibilities. She is learning to enjoy the experience of the hunt looking for shells and rocks and starting to look at items to re- purpose. I hope this is something we can do together for a long time and that she will make a part of her life as an adult.
This is one of my granddaughters designs we had made into a necklace for her Daddy for Father's Day
