Sally Bird has always been a “handy mom,” and now she’s a handy grandmother too. Her skills come from having to do most of the work around the house - painting, hanging wallpaper, sewing clothes, pillows and curtains, yard work and more. Over the past few years, her seamstress skills have been put to great use. She has been making adorable clothing for her grandchildren. And fabulous pillows, bedding, curtains and more for her daughters, interior designers and friends. Stephanie learned from her mother, and creates wonderful pillows, belts and all kinds of other fun things.Tumblr (3.0; @thehandymom)http://thehandymom.com/<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsxmcuoBtz1r3i59so1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Missy is an amazing photographer</p> <p><a href="http://missyventures.tumblr.com/post/11342408433" target="_blank">missyventures</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Hollywood Sign by Missy Broome. </p> </blockquote>http://thehandymom.com/post/11411127967http://thehandymom.com/post/11411127967Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:43:56 -0500xsxs<p>LOVE THIS blog…</p> <p><a href="http://catalogliving.net/post/7495305258" target="_blank">catalogliving</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnxsqfamKN1qbp9v2.jpg"/></p> <p>Gary, please stop shouting “Freebird” at the lamp.
