I will let these photos tell the
Tale of two talented hands
Grandma Upchurch aka Margie
She was also an excellent seamstress. She learned to sew
before there were fancy things like zipper foots. She could put in a zipper better by hand than I could by machine.
She wore the hand crochet collars around dresses or blouses
that just had round necks.
I have two pillow cases with the gorgeous border...
Doily
I never saw Margie use a crochet pattern. She had a picture of what she wanted in her head.
Feline Friday Madi adored Christmas for many reasons, especially for the beautiful crocheted Christmas tree Skirt that was also hand made with love by Grandma Upchurch many, many years ago.

#8 North Carolina's State Mammal
1969 the Gray Squirrel was designated NC's state mammal. It's found throughout the state from our eastern swamps to our hardwood forests.
AND IN OUR BACK YARD
The import of this mammal has largely displaced it red cousins in England and Wales.
Today's photos were from a past posts but still apply today.
I have 3 watering holes in the back yard
A standard bird bath
Two mini watering holes shown below.
Of course the Squirrels aka piggies use all of them...
All of the watering holes are under a tree and even the smaller birds are using it. Many years ago I had a flock of cedar waxwings stop in for a sip...Very thankful I was there to snap this photo
Good morning Cecilia and Angel Maddi. Such treasures you have from your dear grandmother, such a talented lady to create everything you have shown us today. The photo of Madi with her Christmas tree skirt is adorable! I also love how you take care of your feathered and furry friends withe the water baths. I didn’t know the squirrel was the state mammal of NC or about their red cousins in England and Wales. A wonderful post, thank you and sending hugs xo
ReplyDeleteGrandma Margie's crochet work is beautiful. Yes it is very rare to see a red squirrel in England although they can still be found in Scotland. I assume they are rare in Wales too.
