Oh great, now I'm crying too. I lost my grandmother in August of 1969, the month we both celebrated our birthdays. She never sewed but she did teach me how to crochet, she loved to read, and she was game for anything crafty. She lived with us for a while and for Christmas I bought her a 1 year subscription to a craft club, which included a "bonus" month so she received two December kits to make ornaments. Those ornaments are one of my most prized possessions. When I put them on the tree I always cry but I also feel blessed that I had her in my life.
