A
Christmas To Remember
Learn How To Sew Christmas
Projects
Ive idolized my grandmother
for about as long as my memory serves. She has
taught me how to load a mean dishwasher, place
crisp sheets on a bed just right, organize a
household, cook, etc. There was one Christmas,
however, that she has stood out in my memories.
It was the Christmas my Grandma patiently
taught me to make crafts. Grandma does some
serious senior scrapbooking, but her crafting
is legendary.
Traveling over the river and
through the woods accurately describes going to
my Grandmas house this particular year. I was 9
years old and Christmas held every promise in
the world for me. After 10 hours in the car
with 3 other siblings, I was ready to get out
and enjoy the wintry scene laid before me at my
Grandparents house.
As I entered the house, the
smell of cookies and bread met my nose. Nothing
beats the aroma of homemade goodsespecially
Grandmas. The dining room table is what caught
my eye though that day. Set up for us kids were
ruby red, emerald green and crystal beads.
Grandma explained that she wanted to teach us
how to make Christmas ornaments for the tree.
Any time with Grandma was deeply treasured
time, and I desperately wanted to get
started.
For hours Grandma sat with
me and my siblings and helped us thread beads
onto our wire. We made candy canes, stars,
bells, etc. Every single ornament was uniquely
designed by our own hand. When we finally
finished our task, we placed the ornaments on
the Christmas tree and hit the lights. I still
can picture those little ornaments to this day.
The colored light that burst through the beads
was nothing short of magical.
We didn't have many material
possessions that Christmas, but it didn't
matter. We had a Grandma who cared enough to
spend quality time with us. As I sit with my
own two sons now and reflect on that winter day
so long ago, I cant help but want to try a
little harder.
Taking time for crafting
with kids, teaching them to use their hands and
imaginations is invaluable. Showing them how to
invent and create different crafts and projects
will help in their development.
Life has seemed to speed up
a bit and its hard to get away from those every
day distractions that face us. For me, its time
to get back to the basics. Its time to give my
kids their own memories to smile fondly upon in
years to come.
