Help! Need a Gift Idea!!!
Ok, so this one needs a little bit of backstory.
When I was a kid, we were POOR - we lived in a poor area and things to do were hard to find.
Our next door neighbours were an elderly couple. She had a storeroom FULL of crafts, paints, fabrics, yarns etc.
They both did learning activities with any kids in the neighbourhood (with full knowledge and approval of the parents).
I spent most of my free time there with my big sister. This woman is a literal angel on earth!
She’s who taught me to knit and crochet. I have been doing this for over 20 years because of her care and kindness for the kids in our little povvo neighbourhood.
She’s 90 next Wednesday and we’ve been invited to her birthday lunch as a little surprise for her (she attended my baby shower as a surprise to me) and I want to make her something.
I need some ideas for small but meaningful gifts I can make. She really is worth so many hand cramps, so hit me with many beautiful things
