I have fond memories of my mother staying up all night making gifts for me and my brothers. Since she’d do it for nights on end until all her projects were complete I’m sure her memories aren’t as fond. But I may be mistaken. After completing several projects I understand that feeling of exhilaration at completing a home-made project, and the anticipation of watching the one the gift is made for as they open their gift.

Hello there, Renee here today. I’ve been wanting to write this post for a while but really wanted to do it justice as it speaks of a legacy of strong women during a time when it would have been too easy for the so-called weaker sex to lie back and allow men to control their surroundings. Have you ever dug into your family ancestry? I have. I do it all the time. I find it’s a wonderful way to escape from the modern world and delve into the past. And every now and again I come across a real gem.
