What you see is only the corner of a table cloth which is hand painted. There are 15 such figures on the table cloth and believe it or not its done by an 88 year old lady.
When people talk about retirement and taking life easy after 60, here is a lady who is very busy and innovative with stitching, painting, embroidery and what not.
The flowers in the forefront seen in the above picture was created by simply painting old withered flowers. Her artistic skills really amaze me.
Not only is she occupied, her work sells like hot cake and she is hard pressed for time.
In line with the need of being eco friendly and cost effective, the bird nest seen below was made by simply rolling old news papers and painted.
Last year she learned how to use the net and send e mails. So now all her relatives who are flung all over the world just waits for her mails.
Flying and jet lag does not bother her as she is now planning another trip to Australia to visit her son and family who are settled there.
A true inspiration for today’s younger generation who gets flustered by the drop of a hat.

Thank you so much for your visit and comment on my blog. And what an amazing woman indeed-- reminds me of my 88 year old grandmother as well. She, too, is an amazing, always busy, talented, spunky lady, and much to be admired. :) So nice of you to share this wonderful, inspiring post.

I love reading about people as inspiring as this. Happy New Year to you!
One word-WOW!
Kudos to her spirit. Lot to learn from her.
Really inspiring...I was particularly awed by the bird-house...now that's innovation for you !
the admiration that I can express for a person of this age, couldn't be expressed in simple words, if the people really appreciate the value of the experience, the older people live in betters conditions.
Simply beautiful!...Can you please tell me where I can buy her work?...Thanks!
