When a child grows up, there is always one person that remains a part of their lives that
meant so much to them with memories of happiness, a safe haven, peace, love and admiration. That person for me was my maternal
Grandmother.
My Grandmother is a woman who never let the tuff times get her down. She was ahead of her
time in many ways and stood strong on her beliefs in many aspects of life.
She would always lead us in the right direction. She called it preaching (hence the photo
at the top of the Angel waving her finger) LOL!
She has such pride and motivation. If she could tackle the project on her own, you better
believe there would be dirt under her finger nails from a hard days work.
Her parents came from Poland and she is the first born here in the United States.
Recently, my 88 year old Grandmother shuffled her way down to Florida to visit
me. She brought with her the very first Infant of Prague dress my mother made long ago.
(It is in dire need of a freshening up and as soon as I get it to a fiber refurbisher I
will post a photo of it.)
That dress was one of my mother's first sewing projects for the statue.
Grandma, not a creative sewer by any means, and more of a sewing "mender", put her "best
foot" forward and ventured with me at her request to create a new dress for her Infant Of Prague statue she has back home.
This is one of many to come for family and many other heirloom items I will be creating for
sale on eBay.
"Heirloom" is about loving treasures passed down from one generation to another. Here I am
making my grandmother an heirloom she can pass down to one of the members of the family to keep the tradtion ongoing.
