Photo Hunt (What IS That?)


This week's Photo Hunters theme is "What IS That?"

So, what is this photo! I bet you could "sort of" guess it. I look forward to hearing what your guess is. What's that black part?

Here is some spoiler space before I reveal the answer!
I found this on my camera and meant to share it last week. One day last week while I was SO sick, my friend showed up at my door with this banana bread. Isn't that SO sweet. She is ALWAYS so thoughtful. I wish I could be more like her. If I could only give back to her one small iota of the thoughtfulness she has given me since we've become friends, it would only be a drop in the bucket. Good friends like her are hard to find.

Here is the answer!

This is what I see when I lay in my bed on the opposite wall. It is special to me.

My Grandma hand sewed the artwork.

My Grandpa hand made the frame.

It used to hang over their bed.

Both scarves were both hand sewn by my Mom for me as gifts. I could not tuck them in a drawer, so I hung them here so I could quickly grab them when needed.

The little butterfly has been preserved from my bedroom when I was a little girl.

Doesn't this just show you how sentimental sappy I am! That's what makes me an avid digital scrapbooker.

20 WARM FUZZIES--comments SO appreciated!:

That's a pretty cool piece your grandma has knitted. I can't knit for nuts :X

Pretty - I thought you had lain on the floor to take a picture of a woven rug.

SASSY MOM said...

Well, my guess was right. That's a nice piece.

Thanks for the visit and the comment.

Because of the angle of your shot, my guess was a tapestry.

I guessed it was some kind of weaving but didn't realize it was embroidery. That's beautiful and so nice to also have the frame by your Grandpa for the artwork by your Grandma. That's also a great idea to hang the scarves by your mother there so you have both generations represented. I hope you are feeling better. That was sweet of your friend to bring the banana bread. Take care, Carver

I didn't know... until you showed the whole picture.. and I think it's nice that you are sentimental.. Those things will be even more dear as time goes on. Good Post!

Hi - I am enjoying reading your blog. There's a lot in here for me - and I went and took off the Feedjit widget. I was getting nothing out of it - and I'd hate to make anyone feel unconfortable.

I'll keep reading. :)

YellowRose said...

I was guessing some sort of needlework! What a lovely piece that is, and I love the sentimental value it has!

Happy Saturday!

Lynn said...

I was thinking the it's a shadow of a leaf. That's a pretty nice work.

marcia said...

I was going to guess cepet but that is better:)

Richard said...

I was going to say carpet but I like the weave so much better.

Greyscale Territory said...

What a stunningly beautiful piece of art! At first, I thought it was a tapestry canvas partly sewn.

June said...

You're right...I guessed what the big "it" was, but had no clue what the black part was specifically. My PH is along the same sort of thing...

Hootin' Anni said...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, excellent. Now I hafta tell you at first I thought it was a honeycomb, but I LOVE how you captured the close up and tantalizing us then the revealing shows a fabulous work of art!!!

My photo hunt this week is a sequence of photos as I open a purchase I made at Michael's Crafts shop. Can you guess what they are before I reveal them?

Come by if you can find time!! Have a super weekend.

I thought it was needlework, but I had no idea of the pattern. I love all that you told about it and what it means to you. That photo and your journaling would make a very nice scrapbook page. It would fit perfectly in the "All About Us" section of the Library of Memories system I am learning from my class with Stacy Julian. It is just the sort of thing that would also be interesting to a child or grandchild later too, as well as an important part of your everyday life, although I am told we should scrapbook for ourselves, not just for the heritage we are leaving.

Thank you so much for your comment on my blog!
