Remembering Mom...

Today would have been Mom's 96th birthday. I wanted to share the following pictures to honor/remember her and to show you how very talented and gifted she was with her hands. She loved knitting, crocheting and sewing. As we went through her things we were amazed at the collection of Barbie doll clothes and other crafts that were stored away. At one time she used to make things and sell them at Craft Shows. A lot of these items were from that time, all neatly stored away in multiple shoe boxes. The following three photos (Thanks, Sharla!!) are some of her Barbie doll clothes.


Sweater set for a small doll.This was hard to take pictures of because it is so small. The whole bassinet fits in the palm of my hand. Anyway, this little doll with her little blanket...
goes into this bassinet...
like this...
and then there is a drawstring that closes it so a little girl can carry it around easily.
Christmas ornaments that will long be treasured!
Some of my doll clothes from when I was little. I played and played with these and now realize how much time, effort and love went into making them.

Notice the loving detail, embroidered on the little dress.
