My Photo

Hello!

  • Hi, I'm Alexis, wife of CMR, and mother of Beatrix, Willa, and India. Right now I'm not so crafty, but through my explorations of crafting, crocheting, sewing, cooking, gardening, printing, writing, photographing, and lots of other "ings," I hope to find my way to a craft that I love. I'm so glad that you dropped by. I hope you find something you like, and I hope you leave me a comment to let me know that you were here.

A Thrifty Mrs

Goodness me, I am so terribly sorry to hear your very sad news.

Kate in NY

I have some very good memories of Mutti . . . of course, you know my favorite story about her was the time I inadvertently locked her in the guest bedroom at your childhood home . . . she was extremely good-natured way about it all - though she might have been thinking, "Who is this strange friend of Alexis, and doesn't she have her own home to go to now and then?"

I am so sorry to hear this news, and send my love and good thoughts to all your family . . .

Sarah

I'm sorry for your loss...she sounds like she was a wonderful woman.

May your memories & remembrances bring new life to your Mutti each & every day.

Eurolush

So sorry to hear about your grandmother. I lost my grandmother in June and it is still a very fresh sadness that I feel.

It's wonderful that your Mutti was able to live long enough to hold her great-grandchildren in her arms. What an amazing feeling that must have been for her.

I hope the happy memories you have of time spent with your grandmother will help to ease your sadness.

Amy

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I hope your wonderful memories can help you through this sad time. What a lovely photo.

kristina

I am so sorry. What a blessing to have had her in your life, what a loss to not have her visit the way she planned. I hope you feel her in spirit often and relish the precious memories of her life and inspiring presence. My thoughts go out to you.

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. Really. It's so sad moment but hopefully you have lots of fun and sweet memories to keep and share with your kids. You're so lucky for that.
Sorry again...

Laura Matheny

I'm so sorry! How nice that you have photographs and memories that you and your family can share...

patty

I'm so sorry Alexis. It's been 17 years since both of my grandmothers died, and my heart still aches for them. How great that she got to meet your girls!

auntie J

Hi Loopy. (Can I call you Loopy on the world wide internet?) I've been kind of stunned and probably in some denial about Mutti, but reading your post made me cry. In a good way. Thank you.

maya

i'm so sorry. think of the good times and the love you shared. it helps.

Grandma Jen

Hi Alexis. I was so sorry to learn about Mutti. I will always remember her fondly. This picture of her with India really conveys her spirit and curiosity. How she adored her greatgrandchildren! I'm so glad that she lived long enough to be in their lives.
This morning Hugo of 1-800-FLOWERS assured me that he would make it his personal business to see to it that you got a nice arrangement, but frankly Hugo didn't inspire confidence. I've got my fingers crossed that you do better than dandelions.
Lots of love,
Grandma Jen

Laura

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a lovely photo.

Anna of Helylle

I'm so sorry for your loss.I hope you feel her presence when you need to. The golden bracelet thing made me think of my grandma. When I become a grandma I'll get one of those, too.

jessica Levitt

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss...Muttie sounds like a lovely, strong woman. And what a beautiful photo...

jessica

I'm so sorry to hear about Mutti. A grandma's love is truly a special one. My thoughts are with you!

Liss

Sorry to hear about you loss. I like the photo and think it to be quiet sentimental as she is wearing her bracelets. Reading you post reminded me of my dad, the day before he died I really believed he was coming home to us and would leave the hospital as he was doing so well and the next morning he passed away. I don’t think you can ever forget some one who touches your heart, found memories will always stay strong.
I am very sorry you didn’t get to see her one last time before she passed away.

Britt-Arnhild in Norway

What a beautiful photo.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

[michele]

I'm so sorry for your loss Alexis. :(

Beth

My heart goes out to your and your family. Nothing prepares you for the loss of a loved one. I hope you find peace and solace in the love you shared with her and your girls. What a beautiful photo you shared with us too. Thank you.
