Mother's Day was wonderful time as a family before our 3 chicks leave the nest for great adventures. I loved the handmade cards, drawings and gifts. Em stitched a phrase from a Fleetwood Mac song that I have been identifying with as we grow and they fly away, "I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you...". And what I am coming to appreciate through this process is that the building never ends. Building is a lifelong endeavor and I am so thankful for the foundation of love afforded me throughout my life. Also building Simplicity #3835, no hammer required! Jessica Pearl
Thanks for your perspective, Jessica. I really did appreciate the little frog card with fingerprints from my five year old. have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLovely, and what a great embroidery, something to treasure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, thoughtful embroidery! So glad you had a happy Mother's Day!! And also glad that the pattern doesn't require a hammer ;)
ReplyDeleteThe building never does end...once ya get over the initial "empty nest" the next chapter is filled with rewards beyond what you can imagine...grandchildren are wonderful!!! I too love that embroidery too...is it ready to hang???
ReplyDeleteI think if I was attempting a clothes pattern I would certainly require a hammer! lol :)
