Wonderful things Wednesday - Crochet with heart

Crochet is one of the most popular needlework arts around the world today and has been practiced in Europe since early 1800s. Men & women, youth & adults all are creating beautiful pieces. Many of them came to the hooks at the very young age and learned how to crochet from their mothers. Others fall in love with crocheting in their older years finding this hobby very relaxing and stress relieving.

Many things can be made in crochet, some examples are anything from beautiful lace doilies to the sophisticated scarves and jewelry. You can find some lovely crochet pieces in almost any home today. Some of the pieces you might find in any house might be baby blankets and afghans. These are becoming heirloom pieces that are being passed on by family members for generations. What can be better then a crochet baby blanket and a pair of baby booties as a gift for an expecting mother!

Some of our team members are also dedicated to crochet. Crocheting is part of our lives and heritage. This is something we enjoy and will do for the rest of our lives!

Wonderful things Wednesday - Childhood memories

Once upon a time, when the air was clear and fragrant from the flowering white bushes right outside of our window, when the day was long and full of adventures waiting for you right in your own backyard, my mother made a wonderful party dress for me. It was sky blue with white embroidered flowers on it and I felt like a Princess wearing it around the holidays! I was pretty sure I was the prettiest girl around while wearing it!

So many years passed by and I had many other pretty dresses. They were store bought, big name brands and excellent quality but I still remember my first one, homemade with love.

I am sure each one of us has a similar story – we’d love to hear yours! What do you cherish through the years? What did you make for your child that she or he can feel special in? Please share with us!

Today we’d like to represent our Team members creations for the children – enjoy!
