Last Wednesday while we were at Barb and Jim's in Buford, GA (N.E. of Atlanta on the shores of Lake Lanier) we all went to dinner at Uncle Bob and Aunt Lita's home in Dunwoody (about 30 mins. away). For those of you who don't know it Aunt Lita is a hooker.....a rug hooker! In October Bob and Lita came up to our house for a weekend visit to celebrate Aunt Marilyn's birthday. While they were here Aunt Lita was admiring some of the girls artwork from school and she took some photos. Well just 6 weeks later she presents these amazing pillows to Paige and Megan. They are original one of a kind works of art! I just can't convey how impressed I am with Aunt Lita's talents. Not only did she have to make the patterns from photos but she also hand dyed the wool to match the colors in the kids artwork. As you can see from their huge smiles the girls are very proud of their pillows. What an amazing thing to have these priceless keepsakes. As Uncle Bob said "you will still have these when you are old like me". I know they will have them and they will treasure them always. And to make them extra special on the back of each pillow is a hand stiched tag that reads "desinged by Paige , hooked by Lita 2006" and "designed by Megan, hooked by Lita 2006"....how cool is that! Aunt Lita said that without the artist than the hooker is just a rug maker....Well let me say this.....Aunt Lita without you we would just have artwork made with construction paper not wool! Thanks a bunch we love you xoxoxo!
