This....is Willy and Nola....aka my Grama and Grampa T..... They were married for over 60 years...... Almost all of my memories of them involve creating. Grampa carved up apples and dried them into tiny, little gnomish faces....and he could take an old tin can and with some cutting and twisting create a lovely little sitting room of doll sized furniture.....I remember always finding a project extravaganza on my Grama T's front porch.... crocheted afghans, sewing projects, dolls - yep, those fabulous old toilet paper dolls, too....she had too many grandkids to count (over 50) and I think we all have one of her quilts.....My grandparents were the original and ultimate repurposers...."green" before it was cool, by virtue of practicality and necessity.....I think they'd appreciate this little necklace made in their honor.....Thank you for the legacy, Grama and Grampa T.....
