L had her friend over last night for a late night. They had so much fun. Friday night pizza, movie, and lots of blue eye shadow made the evening a blast!
The week finally slowed down enough to allow for a little sewing time yesterday. Another shirt...my favorite. I also finished the Easter attire, which makes me anticipate the beauty of the holiday filled with pastels and blossoms.
A few days ago our friends that own 40+ chickens gave us the most beautiful eggs. I can't wait to move so I can finally get my own chickens. I have only been waiting two years...
Now I have decided to slow down a bit and work on this embroidery tonight. This is one of my favorite drawings of L's. It is so simple and beautiful, yet delivers a profound message. Embroidery is like sitting down with a bowl of warm oatmeal sweetened with brown sugar. It is comforting, calming, and so old-fashioned. I can't help but think of my mom, my mother-in-law, grandmas, and great-grandmas sitting in a chair with a big basket of floss and hoops at their side and needle in hand. I wonder what they would think about as they were hand stitching. Was it relaxing? Was it peaceful? I hope so.
oh how I wish I was finished with Easter dresses. I hope to get one done.
