Is it possible to have too much glitter? I think so and with that in mind here is my collection of glitter fabrics. I'm not really sure why I buy them......just to add to my stash I guess. However, I have used them for Christmas, puddling them around the tree or on tables with Christmas decorations and have made a few decorations out of them. Now, I have a very special use for them. My mom loves these fabrics (and all things that sparkle and glitter) and wants me to make a wallhanging for her. She is in a nursing home and wants some colour over her bed, right now it's just a pale, cold shade of light green. Well, I'm about to change all that and jazz it up somewhat. My sister Tracey thought of the idea and I am in the process of putting it together. Mom has a red satin quilted bed-spread, red drapes and a huge chandelier lamp, think maybe the sparklie wallhanging is way over the top? Well, we know mom won't think so. It will be on my blog as soon as it's completed.
Incidently, my mum.........and my gramma are in the same nursing home.........mom will be 80 years old in April and Gramma will be 100 years old in August. I'm not giving my age, so with our 3 Lambs, myself, Samantha and Sadie we are 5 generations.

I'm impressed! 5 Genrations is quite amazing! I think your glittery wall hanging will be wonderful.
I don't believe that anything can 'be too over the' top when it comes to old ladies. I fully intend to go beserk with the glitter when I hit my seventies.
My mum(82), has bright red hair, wears fake leopard skin shoes,and goes by the name of 'Nanny Sparkles'.
Hey, I love your write-up about Mom and Grandma. I've seen your wall hanging in progress and it's awesome! Still waiting for a call to come on up and see the finished product. I love glittery things too. It runs in the family, sis.
