About 50 years ago my cousin was asked to boil some water so my aunts could have tea. She didn't know how to do it and was concerned she would burn the water! It seems that too many moms have gone to work and don't do any baking, cooking, sewing, crafting like I did growing up. I had to grow up fast due to family situation. I made my first Thanksgiving turkey at 12 years of age and wasn't allowed to take sewing in school as my mom said I already knew how and didn't need to waste a class on something I already knew. Everyone seems to be so busy trying to get all the latest "this and that" and have missed out on the creative side of themselves. The guild I belong to is now meeting with children to teach how to sew and quilt. It will be a lost art along with many other things unless we all try to share our craft and get others interested as well.
