Softer Side

My Aunt who I have mentioned before here , has 8 kids
Growing up, I spent loads of time over at her home.
Being an only child for 11 years, I found the chaos of her household fun and exciting.
She had me staying for weeks at a time along with any neighborhood kid who happened to bop in.
Her house was loud, messy, and down right hilarious.
Now she has gobs of grand kids and great grand kids.
Yet she found the time to make me this.
 

Sewn by hand
For me!
Yes I broke down crying
Who knew?
This self proclaimed hard case diva broad has a softer side.
Shhh don't tell anyone internet
