Hand Made Things Small things made my ready hands, giving of themselves and their time. Time; their very lives, a measured existence between birth, life and death. Forever; He is with you, He is with me, blessings on your house, and family. My Aunt taught me to knit and crochet. I can make a dishrag. (I am not bragging.) I wish that I had paid more attention. I was young, she was strict. My hands, did not comply. At church, some weeks ago… I found the ladies. They knit and crochet, and can and make lovely things from nothing. God has given me a second chance. I am thankful. Knitted outfits on pretty dolls, showing the next generation what it was and is to be, a wife, a mom, a mother, a sister, an aunt, a grandma, and… above all a friend. Daughters of the King, singing, dancing and laughing together, about their daily lives.

"I can make a dishrag. (I am not bragging.)" - this is hilarious in many ways.
