Holly: Today my grandmother took me back into school since I no longer have my car on campus. On the way there we discussed my hobby of crocheting and how her mother, my great-grandmother, was the one who started the passed down craft in the family. I never knew too much about my great-grandmother since she died fairly young, but I came to find out today that she was a seamstress in Boston and actually constructed part of Grace Kelly’s wedding dress in 1956. She also worked from home making garments when not in Boston. It’s nice to hear about my family, and that maybe I am more similar to them than I thought. How come I was never taught to sew!? I wish I could apply both merchandising and design into my major. How was I unaware of our family’s footnote in fame?
