I adore "carrying my ancestors inside of me"
Karen loves searching my ancestry (I'm adopted) and keeps finding fascinating information! Living relatives include the amazing actress Amy Adams, but far too shy and in awe to say 'hi cousin'!
Cool haiga too!!!
warmest regards,

__Babushka and Nagymama, I easily would consider… Polish and Hungarian parallels to each other. Such Grandmothers, lovingly tending to their off-springs… with "family stitches."
