MOM'S CROCHETED CHRISTMAS DECO'S

MOM'S CROCHETED CHRISTMAS DECO'S

My children and I lived close to my mother for over twenty years, and she spent every Holiday with us and Sundays and more.
Most Christmas's she would make a hand crocheted ornament for our tree. I have kept every one of them.
My mom was a whiz at most needlework. She was an excellent seamstress, but didn't have much time for that on the farm. She made all her own clothing and her two sisters clothes when she was a girl in the 1920's and 30's. She is 92 now.
She crocheted without a pattern! She could look at a piece and duplicate it without written instructions.
She would crochet these ''ornaments'' and then dip them in ''sugar water'' and dry them to make them stiff.
They have GRACED our trees for many years.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
