Pinterest has been such a friend of mine when it comes to seeing the possibilities.<br /><br />I love your idea of leaving a type of memoir and your idea for crochet patterns. As a kid, I always wanted my mom to give me more and more information of our family history. I even went as far as giving her a book to jot down facts as they came to her. I'm not sure she has ever cracked it open. It's not her thing I have realized. What's great, though, is my daughter is so much like me and has already given me my own book to jot such facts down. I'm loving it.Terrill R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12096283120994336230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-67519251378219647492016-01-30T15:58:26.118-05:002016-01-30T15:58:26.118-05:00Sorry for the typos.

When I was a sophomore in Hugh school,I was honored to be chosen as a prom servant and the girls were to dress ad geisha girls. Money was tight in our household and my I found a piece of yellow brocade that was also drapery material. The dress had to be long so this extra width reduced the amount I had to purchase. My mom made the dress and I looked as good as the other prom servants.<br />Later, after I was a mother, I made my 3 year old daughter a jacket and dress for Easter out of that same material. Yes, as a farm wife, I learned to repurpose many times!

I enjoy making Exploding Picture Boxes....since everyone I mention it to asks what they are, here is a link to my Pinterest board showing boxes that I've made:<br />https://www.pinterest.com/debsbunch5/exploding-picture-boxes-ive-made/chappydebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393540849299888872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-8644167808102420162016-01-27T06:10:42.890-05:002016-01-27T06:10:42.890-05:00What a neat idea, Mary, and I know it's all th...What a neat idea, Mary, and I know it's all the more precious because you get to keep something your father made.stitchesthrutimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592361290873081613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-70201024266395327852016-01-27T03:12:45.726-05:002016-01-27T03:12:45.726-05:00My father made me a foot stool - years ago.

With a bit of a repair and a couple of hinges I now have a storage box as well as a foot stool. I know my father would whole heartedly approve.
