My mother was a heck of a craftswoman. She was highly regarded for her talents and had been all over the world, knitting Christmas scarves for the queen in London, crocheting for various princes in the Middle East. She had even been to Japan and Made a 50-foot crochet Super Mario when the Super Nintendo first came out!

When she would tell these stories, we would all gather around and listen with pleasure-she just had a way of telling them that made you feel like you were there. I'll never forget Ma and her talent for spinning a yarn!
