More Memories of Grandma Parry

My Grandma Parry made me a Holly-hobby "doll" one year. It wasn't a doll that I could play with, but one that could sit on the shelf and be admired. She was very artistic and creative. I think that she always made things for us for Christmas. I don't ever remember receiving anything store-bought from her. I really appreciate and admire this about her.

In a previous post, I mentioned her helping me make four dolls for my daughters. This was in her old age when she was living with my parents and in a lot of pain. I thought it might be a good distraction for her, as well as wanted to spend time with her. It was amazing to watch her work her magic on those dolls. I don't think I could have had such success on my own.
