My grandmother, I called Nana, was a creative, interesting person. She was an amazing cook, and I was told some time after she died, that she had taken cooking lessons to be a better cook for my grandfather. She would arrange food beautifully on the plates like a chef.
I remember her crafts room when I was growing up. The room smelled like oil paints, as she always had a canvas set up on her easel in the midst of a painting.
She was an amazing seamstress and would buy a dress she liked, lay it out and create a pattern from it for another dress to make.
Being with her was always so inspiring and I learned so much from her.
I miss you Nana. Very much
