Hi everyone, how is your day going? Mine is just crazy I have been dyeing wool, doing stock, trying to get a website set up for a shop and the list goes on 
I sometimes think that I am going around in circles. Well !!!
My question for the day is in my title , in my family I was away for a family reunion and had my hooking and one of the older Aunts sat there and just watched me for hours and finally I went over to her and asked her why she was doing this, well she got this very melancholy look on her face and said she thought that the hooking that was done in our family was lost forever when our Grandmother passed away ! Well you could have knocked me over because I had been wondering why I had such a strong pull towards this craft and why I felt I had found my soul and realistically it was in my blood all along If it hadn’t been for my Great Aunt I wouldn’t know this to this day! So what I’m saying is this stop being busy with our own lives, take time and seek out older people in our family and ask as many questions about family history, we need to carry it on if we don’t want it to be lost! Well That was a mouthful I hope you have a great night I am going to get my spinner out and spin some yarn that also was in my family boy I believe I am a very old soul in a very young body LOL .
Have a good day and try to do something kind for someone and don’t tell anyone and see how it will come back
Happy Hooking Vicki Graham
I had no idea that my grandmother had been a rughooker. She was famous for her needlepoint, and I was shocked when I learned she had done some hooking.
I wrote about it on my old blog here:

I, too, could have been knocked over with a feather.
