Weekend at Grandma’s

- Awhile back, I started working on a rug that I wanted to make entirely out of hand processed yarn. I wanted to challenge myself by not only shearing our sheep, but to actually use the wool to make a Navajo rug by using traditional methods. I took on the challenge but soon realized that it would be done faster with some help and advice from one of my great grandmas. So one evening I drove over and we talked for a few hours, I told her about my idea and plans of what I wanted to accomplish, I asked her if she would be willing to help me. She agreed to do so! I already informed her that I would be recording, she was a little shy and hesitant at first but later on she became a natural. She didn’t mind the camera at all and now she’s use to it. We then made plans for a weekend to work entirely on carding and spinning the wool that I had with me. From the moment I got there, we immediately got to work! I remember my great grandpa talking about how excited she was the next morning because she woke up earlier than usual. While I was still asleep, he already had coffee going and ready to start to day. I immediately jumped up and met her outside before the heat started to pick up. Being able to sit, talk and just process the wool into yarn was everything I always thought of. Now I can say I actually did that, I always heard other people saying they remember doing the same thing with their grandmothers. I understand that there aren’t as much translations in the video but I felt it meaning of it all would be lost or misinterpreted somewhere along the way. I really do hope you enjoy this video!Recently after talking with her awhile back, she admitted that she most likely won’t be able to card and spin wool anymore because her body is getting old. This only makes me more happy to know she was able to help me at one point in time. Whenever she does come around to visit, she loves to look at my loom, my weaving tools all while admiring the entire room and atmosphere.
Thank you for your time to watch this video and hope it gave you a better understanding of Navajo weaving.

Greatly miss my mom😢 everything she says is true.! Glad my kids are carrying on her teachings! I will forever be thankful! Stand strong for your kids Grandma!
Aww that’s good to hear about your kids carrying it on, that’s the only way
I’m so thankful that I found your grandma through your channel! She makes me smile. Her voice is so sweet! Chei is sweet too.
You are very blessed to have been able to spend time with your wonderful grandparents.
Yay crochet seat covers. It was a nice adventure, weekend at your grandma’s. Love.
I miss my grandma... I wish she was still here.
Thank you for this video
I never had a chance to meet my grandparents in this lifetime. Listening to her is heartfelt. Very strong. Love her stories. At 58yo, I don't speak Navajo, but I understand fully. Hence, RUclips. Thank you for sharing your lives.
Thank you Tyrell! Seeing your Grandmother's hands and hearing her laughter was so special. And I agree, translating would have taken something away from the recording. This was wonderful (and I'm glad you'll have the recording for yourself, too) ❤ And, what a beautiful job she does carding the wool!
How awesome to be around Elders , they are full of stories .
👍👍👍👍👍
It was an honor to share this time with your family. Thank you. I am grateful for your generosity
Seems to be universal, the complaints of aches and pains 😂 and the hardships of owning livestock.
As your grandma speaks of how she learned how to weave and brushing out the yarn, it brought back memories of my childhood with my own grandmother. You are blessed to still have her and listen to her words of wisdom. 😊
Indeed. I often wish I had recorded my daily conversations with my Nah’lii.
You are blessed u were able to record her. You can see n hear her voice n laughter when u miss her ❤
🥹🥰 got the feels watching this. So good to hear our language and the wonderful knowledge masani is sharing. Nizhoni. Aheéheé. Thx for sharing. ❤
You’re so blessed that you still have your grandparents and love them talking about their younger days I appreciate all the elderly take of them and spend a lot time they are precious
This makes me so lonesome for home, Navajo, New Mexico and makes me miss my Grandma T, love this!!!❤

I let my grandkids watch the video with me, thank you so much.
I had the same experience as Grandma with my first rug, my mom kept laughing about my rug. Beautiful video, thank you dear💖🌻
Such a great Dine video by Dine. Thank you for sharing. Working the wool is a long process.
Oh wow...I really miss my great grandma n my grandma and my mom they had sheeps n did rug weaving n all that...I learned how to weave a rug from them but now forgotten...I live in city...I miss everything on rez ..thank you for your grandma n your video of her...
Thank you for your video. My grandmother love the video.
My mom was telling me that her joints were hurting for the first time. I was like, “Damn.” 😢But at least you can sit and talk about wool and everything. It’s reassuring that if she were younger, she’d help you out. I always imagine our elders being young. 😊
There’s a gaagii croaking. Lol 😂❤24:17
Nice video and thank you for take care of your grandma and grandpa 😢😢❤❤
I live about an hour from them so I try to make time to stop by. it's hard to make plans to visits but we both have an understanding since she also has livestock, as I do as well.
Shima is so cute❤❤
Your great-grandparents are AWESOME! Thank you so very much for sharing them with us!
thank you very much! they both have such young spirits for their age. Pretty much capable of still doing things on their own.
@@tyrelldescheny I wish very much that they continue to be healthy and capable for many more years to come. I can tell they have a lot to teach and are lucky to have a willing spirit in you. :)
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing! Yahateh from kinlichee! I miss my grandma. Grandma are special! 🙋♀️💕🤗🤗
I appreciate your vlog. Authentic!!! I wish I had my masani and cheii near. Love their teachings. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing,, i love your grandma shes amazing❤
Carding wool is hard work because it’s repetitive motion for many hours, just like spinning can take many hours, but Omg it is so fun.
I haven’t learned to spin fast yet with bee’adizí. I’m learning by observation. Ahéhee láa.
Nizhoni 🎉
Tell that old man with the knee problem tell him to go get knees injection

Given a change , its once in a life time. I dont know this woman as her loved ones do.

She saw in her walk on the earth. seeing she was their
chance of life. For those who called her mother ,was pleassing from our creator
Blessing, to so many
Her spirit true gift
Story of Earth Spirit Water Blood is the same as my own great grandmother, her birth 1888, her body of Mother Earth , that holds the spirit Given from on high one day return knowing she got to see her own children grow and much more
Her body formed in to flesh in the water of her mothers,
Blood there far more knowledge. For now Blood of ancestors still lives known as DNA to others.
From the video she loved
Looking around her she grateful th e way shle cares
