We finshed our 3rd year of making grave blankets for the Youngblood/Parr side of the family. We made 7 again this year for Dave's dad, great grandparents, great aunt, grandparents and great uncle. They turned out just as pretty as ever and we are so proud and happy that we get to do this for them. We used the spruce trees from our farm and I handmade the bows and bouquets. We keep them on the graves for about 4 months. Because it is so cold here, they look lovely and festive for months. I've never seen grave blankets anywhere but Michigan.

Don't you just love family traditions? It's nice to keep every family member in your thoughts during the holidays. Congrats to Wyatt on his tooth...no doubt he'll be on to table foods.
Beautiful-I've always said that you're extremely talented.
