What’s On My Wall

14 Comments/ 224/ 0

I haven’t done an edition of What’s On My Wall for a really long time and today is the day to show a couple of pieces that are very dear to me.

My mom has always been an amazing crafter and artist. From making cards to painting watercolors to doing sewing and needlework of different kinds she loved the creative arts. Perhaps that is what is so difficult for her now with her dementia. While the Memory Lane unit at Copeland Oaks does a really great job at providing different activities and crafts her limited abilities now flummox her. At times she remembers being able to do much more complicated things and it has to be frustrating to be doing little projects that seem so simple.

When the four siblings got together to sort through some of her belongings there were still quite a few paintings and other wall art that had not found homes yet. I decided to take these two pictures and they are now hanging in my home.

On the back of each picture is the description of what type of stitch it is in her handwriting. I love that. She stitched these pictures the year Aaron was born so it makes me smile to see that date stitched on the front.

Guess I am feeling quite nostalgic lately with all these posts about memories and things I have discovered but bear with me, please. These are happy memories and passing by these pictures in my hallway brings a smile to my face and helps me realize where I got my love of crafting and art.

Did you follow in the footsteps of your parents and develop a love of something that they loved? Tell me all about it and Comment for a Cause for our new cause — Find Your Anchor.

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
