While going through some of my mom's sewing stuff recently (since her move to the nursing home, she won't be needing sewing things anymore--not that she had been able to use them for a long time before that), my dad unearthed these and gave them to me.
They are counted cross-stitch bookmarks that my brother David and I made at some point during our childhood. It looks like we finished all the stitching, but never accomplished making it into a bookmark.
When my kids saw them, they declared that no offense, but they liked Uncle David's better than mine. :) No offense taken. :)
Since my initials are no longer DGH, I decided to take a picture, post it on my blog, then throw the bookmark away. I emailed my brother about his, and he declared that he had plenty of bookmarks and I could toss his in the trash as well. Done!
Clutter, be gone! :)
A very loud applause happening in my mind. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say, you are a hard act to follow! I am sure I would have cherished some moments of remembering working on these, and packed them in a box so in 5 years when I opened the box again, I could relive the memories once more. I hope this inspires me to be more "brutal" in my purging!
