For my first day I chose National Lace Day. I have lots of fond memories of My Grandmother sitting in the rocking chair crocheting away her favorite thing was lace edgings on hand kerchiefs. She had all the stitch patterns in her head I never saw her use a pattern ever. ( she sewed the same way no patterns) So in honor of my grandma ( we called her Memer) here is my card:
I am going to share a couple pictures of her sampler book that she created it is about 100 years olf tatered and much loved.
For my second card I chose Mischief Night the night before Halloween. I never knew that it existed until noe so ere is a little History followed by my card
Mischief Night (also known as Devil's Night, Hell Night , Cabbage Night, Gate Night, Mizzy Night Miggy Night or Goosing Night ) is an annual tradition in parts of the United Kingdom,Canada, and the United States when people (primarily teenagers and preteens) take a degree of license to play pranks and do mischief in their neighbourhoods. The most common date for Mischief Night in England and North Americas October 30, the day before Halloween.
