My oldest grandson, Patrick, attends preK at one of our Catholic schools. Each year there is a fundraiser and classes contribute a project to be bid on at the auction. I have become friends with two of the young mothers and we are working together on the project. A quilt that will contain squares from all the children.
Today I cut all those squares and thought back to the days I did this as a mother. Never did I think I would be doing it as grandmother.
When I began this blog I was concentrating on how to mother grown daughters. That in itself is a challenge. But now, how to be grandmother to school age grandchildren. To not step on toes, but be helpful at the same time. What a fine line to walk and balance on.
yes, things never stay the same! when my Mom had us kids as young kids, she thought it would be forever; now I am 38 and my youngest sibling is 32... fun about the quilt! God bless you!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I think of all the dozens of quilts I made for the school auction over the decades our family was there....the garden benches I stained and then painted with dozens of tiny hand prints...the little tea table and matching chairs I painted with tiny thumbprints turned into ladybugs...the many, many class scrapbooks that were made and auctioned off...picture frames, rocking chairs, garden flags and statuary. I still smile when I remember those projects!
