Day Fifty-four: Supplies | Items | Materials | Stuff
My co-worker has been sharing some pretty awesome crochet projects that she is working on and it got me thinking of my grandma lately. She passed away in 2011 and not a day goes by that I don't miss her horribly. With all the fun projects that my friend is doing, it made me think that maybe I want to give crocheting another shot. I pulled these supplies out of the box of things that I kept from her and it saddens me that these have been sitting still all these years. Grandma taught me how to crochet when I was roughly 8, 9, or 10 and I made a couple of special things for family members but never continued doing it. Grandma, however, had countless hours spent with these supplies. It was a very rare thing not to see her busy with her needles. She was fast and could have full conversations never looking down - without a worry about what she was doing. If she made a mistake, she just pulled it out and started again. She was a patient teacher and, like I said, I miss her very much. I am glad that I kept these supplies - they may go back in the box for a while but I know they will be there and ready to work when life slows down for me a bit. The blanket in the background is one of the many treasures I have that was made by my Gram - she made this for my husband and I with our wedding colors. This is just a small piece of herself that she left on this earth until I meet her again in heaven.

This is the second time I have taken on this challenge. I completed a 365 in 2014 - took 2015 off and decided that this year I wanted to do another challenge. I am part of an amazing group of talented photographers who post an image from an interpretation of a prompt that we receive every day in our e-mail. It's so neat to see how differently a person perceives a simple word or concept and how they translate that into a photograph. I am kicking myself that I didn't do a challenge in 2015 so this is me getting back into doing something I enjoy so very much! Archives
