Honestly I call these angels, but I think the book calls them fairies. My fingers made all of the different stitches and even prepared the matting. Dad used his hands to make the frame.
Making these handmade gifts was always fun they kept me busy with variances on the designs and making my own designs. I need to get back to doing some of this again just to keep my hands exercised after the last two surgeries. They have really turned me upside down as far as my hobbies.
Besides my Grandma’s birthday my brother and several cousins have them this month as well. Not to mention an uncle. Plus now I have a newer date to remember. The fact that he has been amazed that I do remember his birthday only means he hasn’t had a proper birthday in years. That is until the past 2 years where I don’t let him forget that it’s different now and birthdays are most definitely remembered.
Birthdays should be celebrated with those you love. Having cakes made with love through the years growing up gave us some fun memories. Next week is my brother’s birthday and there are some photos that are too cute not to share. His daughter loved looking at them.
