Let me help you keep your memories. Send me stuff and I'll make it into something else for you. Remember loved people through their items reused

Nana’s Drawers will recreate important pieces into objects for use. When you want to preserve the memories of a loved person, you have things of theirs that you value but really don’t know what to do with, I can turn them into something you can use and have in your life. Nana’s Drawers came about when my mother-in-law, Audrey, died and her daughters were going through her cupboards wondering w

hat to do with her clothes. I suggested I could make them into a quilt for them each and they were delighted. They oohed and ahhed over the memories that the pieces had for them . My father died at the same time. From his ties I made a runner for a bed. I found a blanket he took to boarding school in the 1930s and appliqued circles onto it; they are like bubbles like my Dad. I’ve made memory cushions , aprons from tea towels, bags, mosaics ,decorated picture frames with Nana’s crockery and beads, grand dad’s cufflinks…. Handcrafts by Hilda Bloomer; born 1899 turned into cushion covers. Embroidered tea trays, crocheted doilies by Henrietta Hansen become my friend Vicki’s Nana. Antique lace from Lyn’s grandmother.
