A braided rug was handed down from one friend to another~
As children grew and families changed, the threads grew worn~
Now repaired and good as new, the braided threads of memory will soon warm my daughter's new home~

Threads Of Memory
When babies were born and families were young, threads of a friendship started more than three decades ago~

Somehow I large container of yarn appeared in my house. I don't knit and haven't crocheted in decades. Perhaps I'll make a rug out of it.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful heirloom your daughter will cherish. Look forward to seeing a photo of the rug in the new house!

ReplyDeleteMemories of braided rugs
that use to be a part of my home.
Seems over time
they were replaced
with different sizes of
Oriental rugs that I now pass
on to my children..
You make me wish my special braided rugs were still with me.
Guess they wore out
and I did not repair.
Now I am wearing out
but wise enough to keep
repairing :)
Braided rugs, hadn't thought of them in years :)
ReplyDeleteReminded me of the spiral knitting on the 4 nails and spool.
What a lovely thing to pass on!

Such a beautiful rug, Sharon, and a lovely tradition for your daughter to carry on. I grew up in a house filled with braided rugs made by my grandmother. Treasures!
