A very talented 89 year old.
« on: June 17, 2011, 08:54:25 PM »
These are three of the pictures that my 89 year old friend has done. She has drawn them in fine pencil first and then embroidered them. She also does some beautiful water paintings.
I think she is fantastic for her age and keeps herself fully occupied with all her hobbies, plus knitting for charities.

What do you think of these? 







Here is a doll that she dressed in the Land Army Uniform that she served in during WW2 .
She had no patterns to go by and she has even made the hat herself but a friend got the badge off the internet for her.



Here are some of her knitted toys that she has done.

You say "I think she is fantastic for her age and keeps herself fully occupied with all her hobbies, plus knitting for charities".

Under the weather? Rain or pain? Hope you're better now Maywalk and back out there your old self. Every day I wake up, give myself the once over and think, yep, I'm here a while longer ;D

Fathers Day today and two cards from my sons in Ausie and Indonesia! Makes you feel good ;D

Hi Cheddar caveman, glad you received the cards from your sons for Fathers Day, do they live there or are they working, they obviously share your adventurous spirit. 8)
