My maternal grandmother was a milliner by trade and a crafter by choice. She apparently had the talent and drive. What she didn't have was patience to teach my mom. Unfortunately, my grandma died when I was only 2, but I KNOW that I inherited her love for fabric and craft.
Since my mom has an aversion, I just had to teach myself some crafty skills. However, my mom is an unbelievable word-smith. She is very creative with the rhyme.
Now my maternal grandfather was a blacksmith and a craftsman in his own right.
My paternal grandma quilted and crocheted but I wasn't close to her. My paternal grandfather was crafty in assorted media. My biological father used to be a painter and he is a master gardener.
Come to think of it, with all those creative genetics - how could I not be creative in some way?!
