when you write your will there's one thing I want!*
It is beautiful and I want it!
Here's why:
This little sewing machine reminds me of the hours we have spent sewing, when Louisa and I made soft toys to go in Santa stockings, when we made skirts just the other weekend, well when you made skirts for us the other weekend.
But mostly I decided I want this cute sewing machine because it belonged to Grandma Walker.
Grandma Walker is one of the people that I almost remember. I remember her coming to visit us at Jubilee Terrace, well I remember a little old lady standing on the footpath, but that's all. I feel like I almost know her, she seems lovely and just a perfect 'Great Grandmother'.
She seems just out of my reach...
So I want this part of her!

You probably have a little of Grandma Walker in you Jesse and you didn't even know it. Just by wanting that little sewing machine and the memories made by it you are well connected with her.
I too have inherited my grandmothers sewing machine, although it gets used too much for mending and not enough for creating.
Happy Sewing!!

Thanks Lisha,
I spent today making Nanimo Bars from the recipe she gave Mum for a wedding present. It was nice. Although I was rather scared of the critics as Mum remembers it from her childhood.
I must say they are delicious!
:)
Dear Jesse - that sewing machine will be well and truly dead before my will comes into play - inshallah.
