When I was little I remember my grandmother would always make me things for the holidays. One Christmas she sewed me a new bedroom set and curtains for my room. For my first birthday, she made me a grey teddy bear. When I was little I loved that teddy bear and I carried it everywhere I went. My grandmother would make clothes and stuffed animals for all of the grandchildren. She also was an amazing painter. She taught herself how to paint. She loved to paint and would make the most beautiful paintings. When I was younger I would tell her I wanted to paint like her one day. My grandmother loved art she liked to draw and paint. She loved to make clothes and toys. When my grandmother was growing up she was taught to make clothes. She was born into a family with eleven children, and she grew up during the great depression. My grandmother always made everything herself even when she didn’t have too. My dad and his four sisters always appreciated that my grandma would make all their clothes for them. She made everything out of love, and everything she made was perfect in every way. When my grandmother passed away I took a lot of her painting. I had some of them framed, and they are hanging in our house in Chattanooga Tennessee and also our house in Marquette Michigan. I hope that her artwork stays in the family and will be passed down from generation to generation.
