Nancy, I'm so glad you have had a chance to get some creativity in. Btw, in my ddad's "Reminisce" magazine he saw there was a photo of the 1920s, he thinks, that had a granny square afghan shown over the couch! I'll have to take a look at it if he can find it again. To tell you the truth, I thought they were a more recent thing than that - shows how much I know.
My creativity has been slowed because of having my family underfoot for several bad-weather days. I have had a little enjoyment with the help I gave dd12 with her science fair project. I cut her printed titles and statements down to size for her using my rotary cutter.
Next up really needs to be getting dd30's Bible cover done. Her b-day is only 10 days away, and I don't know when they might be able to come - maybe earlier.
I read on a message board the idea that a seamstress had of never giving handmade gifts for Christmas anymore, only b-day presents. She was saying that in the hustle-bustle of so many gifts, wrappings, responsibilities, etc. her handmade gifts were less appreciated and the recipient just couldn't concentrate on them. She said she had learned they were more appreciated on b-days, when the person was more relaxed and apt to notice a nice thing being done just for them. She was going to give smaller purchased gifts at Christmas and concentrate her personal time on the birthday gifts instead. She thought this way she herself wouldn't get her feelings hurt so much when someone didn't seem to care about her gift of time. I hadn't thought of it that way before.
