In My Grandmother's Trunk...I found Squidoo

 

Just found out about Squidoo and am looking forward to meeting others who want to learn with me or can share their experiences in needlework projects.

When I was a little girl, our family used to play a game right after dinner. It came about because of the younger siblings eating soooo slow - and the rest of the family waiting 'patiently' for them to finish. Mom taught us this game: In My Grandmother's Trunk, I found... How we played -The first person would finish the sentence with an item of their choice. The next person would start the sentence, In My Grandmother's Trunk, I found (item #1) and then add his own to the list and so forth around the kitchen table. Round and round until someone forgot an item.

I thought this game would be a fitting title to my lens, each entry talking about what's been found.

I have been enjoying re-learning lots of the hobbies and needlework that my grandmother and mother taught me when I was just a little girl. My lens is to share with you my journey back to a time when ...

I'll talk about my current projects, tips I've learned, and what brings delight to my eyes as well as my heart.

About Bayith

Hello world.

I am a wife and mama to 6 children. Finding time to work on my hobbies is sorta like a treasure hunt. When I do find time, I also find the treasures and delight in working with my hands. I really do like to keep my hands busy and have rediscovered needlework.

I enjoy becoming a better wife, homemaker, business partner, mama, teacher, knitter and friend.

We've recently relocated from the prairies of the midwest (USA) to the mountains of the northwest. A change for sure!
