How handicrafts became a part of my life.
I learned to crochet from my maternal grandmother. She taught me the first stitches when I was a child. I remember always seeing her with a needle and thread in her hands, creating beautiful pieces.
I'm a big admirer of her work, the care, and the delicacy of each stitch. My grandmother does everything perfectly and is very demanding of the quality of her pieces. However, with me, she was always very patient and encouraging. After all, I'm her granddaughter, and grandmothers always think everything their grandchildren do is beautiful.
Seeing my grandmother create those pieces inspired me to do the same. That tablecloth in the photo was a gift from her many years ago. It has been through a lot: washes, children's games, and even cat mischief. Despite the wear and tear, it's still beautiful and special to me. It's one of my most valuable possessions, as it carries the love and dedication of my grandmother.

Wow! I love your story about your grandma and her craft. That's wonderful that she was patient with you and loved your work and she sounded encouraging. I'm glad this piece has stayed with you. Thank you for sharing this story and this art. I never grew up with extended family. I simply grew up with a mom, dad, and younger sister. We didn't live in the same state as extended family. They were scattered all over the USA on both sides of my parents (my biological parents).
