I'm like most of you on this board, I have to be creating something all the time. If no I'm playing Sudoku or crossword puzzles.
In my half Swedish family it was a tradition to give A bride tea cups and saucers when she was married. i received a dozen then. Over the years, I've inherited and been given more. One day I counted them and found out that I had 36. We have 8 grandchildren, 4 boys and four girls. 36 divided by 8 gave me 4 to give to each grandchild when they marry. I also give them clear glass dessert plates and a note explaining the tradition. Since I'm keeping 4 it looks like I'll have to use one of mine and make a pincushion. I love your idea!
