Bug Fashionista

Tonia posts these pictures on her facebook page and says:

My mother has played with bugs since she was a girl.

We grew up with dead framed bugs on our walls after we left Malaysia.

A friend posted a blanket with a large spider on it and my mother said she loved it.

Today she showed me her new jewelry, bugs and lizards.

Some people's passions never change.

I want to add to Tonia's words.

She has captured the essence of her mother in 4 photos.

I would have tried to write a whole essay and not caught for us what you have presented.

Smashing!

Few will ever know this amazing woman's talents -- extra-ordinaire school teacher of the disabled.

She is a water-color painter, and jewellery designer.

She is a seamstress, an alteration expert and a dress designer.  I own a beautiful designer Chinese black silk jacket, a gift from her.

She is a quilter, and a cheese-cake cook. She just doesn't make one at a time.  She makes three.

She is the grandmother of all grandmothers, rounding up all of her grandchildren online to see Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Love Never Dies", and paying for their snacks, $20 each.

And oh, what about the 5 star zucchini cakes, bridge player who should be going after masters points, and now on-line bridge player through pandemic times with her family. 

Wyona is a dancer, a woman who is longing for the dance floor on cruise ships to open up again.

Oh, the snacks she brings on a road trip.  The cooler is always full of ice and soda.  Ritz crackers, cheese, red licorice, bridge mix, apples, grapes, Hot Rods, min-chocolate bars are pass from the back seat to the front and back again.

She also loves bugs.

  1. I would like to know this person you are talking about. Don't forget to mention that if this person sees fabric she wants or some beads she wants, she will take a grey skirt and cut it up or dismantle a necklace before the owner's know the item is gone. One dismantled, it belongs to the dismantler!
