Several years ago, Grandma gave me a bunch of whole hazelnuts in a red satin bag that she had made--knowing that they are my favorite nut, and were not so easy to find in mid-MO year-round at that time. For a long time, I kept the bag in a drawer, and put small items in it, most recently pantyhose, I think. Then, on one of the last days we spent in the old apartment, it found a new use. Since it was one of the first really warm days, we took the boys outside to enjoy our enormous and underused deck--and the satin bag, tied to my chair, was perfect to hold my project yarn while I knitted. I took some pictures so that Grandma could see her handsome (even opulent!) handiwork still finding use years later. Mom and Dad, I hope you will be able to show this to her!
