Generation Gap. by grammyn

Generation Gap.

I missed posting this after attending my grandson's graduation for some reason. This is at my daughter's house by her sewing machine and serger. The scissors were my mother's and the thimble might be one she receved from this grand daughter as a gift years ago.
These scissors are like a stork? I remember them from a long time ago too! And the thimble of course! That was when people darned things!

i do have a pair like that which i used to use for my cross stitching. heck i have a number of cross stitching scissors. i also have a pair for the hair and another one for bad people which i have not had the chance to use....yet. :-D

i love thimbles. but must admit i don't know where i have them stored. must be in my sewing box which is probably in one of the boxes in my spare room.

And a very colorful pincushion. I have seen scissors like this before, but it was years ago. I always referred to them as embroidery scissors. I do have thimbles that I use any time I must repair something with a needle and thread. I never learned to use a needle without them. Great composition.

Awwww.... tenderly beautiful! Tugging at the heartstrings! So glad Mom had enough of those scissors to go around! I believe we each got a pair. 💖
