Stitching to Existance

ENOUGH

Good Trouble

hope

I stitched a bit of 'hope' onto the word cloth.

The photos came out dark, but that's okay,

that's how it's felt

I like how Deb's thread has both light and dark.

I chose the yellow-blue, looking for sunshine,

for hope

I like how it held a bit of darkness too

It wouldn't be realistic if it didn't

The 'e' trails of, sparking some sort of something down the line

H~O~P~E~~~~

I was going to say more about this and how things are,

but it seems rather unimportant,

really

 I truly feel as if this space has become a

record for one,

not the conversation it was.

My waves of wondering continue

Until the next post, or until whenever we meet again...

May you search for

May you find

May you hang onto hope

Before & After #6

Before & After #6...Woven Gift

BEFORE

What started like this...

a basket of selected yarns...

Soon became this...

Don't you just want to touch this?!!

Soon it looked like this...

So many textures and so soft!

AFTER

A small woven 'medicine' bag.

A gift for a co-worker.

This is the first bag that I've woven a secret message into.

I wrote it out on muslin, like this:

Then wove it right in with the other fibers.

You can't even tell it's in there!

This quote is from a favorite children's book:

Turtle Tale by Frank Asch

If you read through the reviews, you can get the sense of this treasure of a story.  It's a loss that this book is out of print, but if you come upon it, pick it up!!

This co-worker and I shared the lesson of this story, 

so I also included a small stone turtle in the gift box.

A small card created with a photo of her name on the Gathering Blanket.

Sensory treats from the garden.

Rosemary-Lavender-Rose Petals-Sage-Rock Rose

Can you smell this deliciousness?!!

I think I'll take orders for these!

They are so fun to create.

I especially like the secret message idea.

I won't share all of the secrets though!!
