My grandmother has roughly 25 framed items on her walls -- things like birds, buildings, beautiful scenery -- and they're all cross-stitched. I think this is something that just happens when you get older whether you want it to or not. One day you're shopping at Crate & Barrel, and the next your walls are covered in needlepoint. For what it's worth, though, none is awesomer (new word) than the 10-year-old Bryce complete with bowl cut.Sadly, one friend who found out I was going to cross-stitch camp called it "Grannie Camp." The joke's on him: I'll never be a grandmother!
So two old lady references for the price of admission. Sigh.

I think if I was the grandmother of "Bryce" I'd be loudly proclaiming "no, I don't have any grandchildren, I'm not a grandmother" at every opportunity ...
I was going to say I don't even want to get started about Bryce, but now that I've read what Nic has to say, I'm in perfect agreement with her.
That pot plant fridge magnet is awesomer than any of my fridge magnets, and that dumbass Bryce should not assume that she chose it solely because she likes plants, since granny is solidly in the demographic that predates the drug czar and all the attendant hysteria about recreational drug use. No doubt she's sparing that prissy little Crate and Barrel shopper the knowledge that granny keeps her bong in the drawer with her granny pants.
Because you linked to it, I made myself read the entire article. I'm off for some aspirin now.
What an obnoxious twit is young -- or not-so-young -- Bryce.
Three cheers for the sisterhood of non-grannies-I'm in too. And it's so sad that the quality of journalism has degraded to the state it's in given this example.
Yeah, uh, if cross stitch makes those that do it grandmothers, does that mean I was a Grannie at age 10 when my Gram and mother taught me.
The load of them can bite me. I'll never be a grandmother and if they can't respect that I choose to do an "old lady" craft for fun, that's their loss.
