We celebrated her life at her funeral on Monday. My Grandma was always one of my biggest fans. She was one who taught me to knit and crochet (others such as my mum and aunt were involved in this too). She was someone who I could always *make* a present for and I knew it would be appreciated and valued. When she moved from independent living into low care a few years ago, I received back some of the things I&#8217;d made her. There&#8217;s a patchwork hexie cushion I made her when I was a child, sitting just to my right, as I type this. She always thought everything we grandchildren did was wonderful. I loved her and will miss her. <\/p>\n<p>Did you have a generous and encouraging grandmother or someone else older, who taught you needlecrafts? I think that&#8217;s a wonderful gift that older women can give girls and younger women: the gift of skills of creativity.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9148\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9148\" src=\"http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC04421-Yvette-and-Grandma.jpg\" alt=\"Grandma and me\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9148\" srcset=\"http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC04421-Yvette-and-Grandma.jpg 2000w, http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC04421-Yvette-and-Grandma-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC04421-Yvette-and-Grandma-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC04421-Yvette-and-Grandma-1024x682.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC04421-Yvette-and-Grandma-150x100.jpg 150w, http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC04421-Yvette-and-Grandma-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9148\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grandma and me at her 100th birthday party.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dear Grandma, who celebrated her 100th birthday in June, died Friday week ago.
