It is a blessing to share with others even in your loss. A few years ago, a dear mom shared her loss with me in the form of a request for Grandpere Tiger. The doll was for her daughter. It was sad yet it seemed a creative way to help a child remember someone at such a young age. It was memorable for me as well. I had in the past completed a yorkshire dog request from a daughter for her mom's lost dog, but never for a grandpa. It probably makes no sense, but I call it a Gem of Requests as it keeps attracting customers while reminding my heart of my dear customer.
The most recent version is a Honey I Shrunk Grandpere version with its own set of challenges as I tried working from the original pattern without the original supplies, But that story is for another post.
