When your threadwork becomes unraveled, you simply re-sew, re-thread or re-crochet any stitches that have come undone. However -- when life seems to unravel at an amazing speed, you sometimes simply stand there.

I've been standing. And leaning. And trying to restitch.

Thank goodness for a husband with huge shoulders.

And yes, we are now seeing brighter days -- hey! No one told me raising a teen-age daughter involved so many heart-wrenching decisions.....
Now--there is stitching to be done!......
Ahhhh. Yes. I can not forget to thank you lovely blogirl-friends who expressed concern about my absence! A virtual hug to you. xxoo
The pattern for these calico eggs & bunny is from a book that my great-aunt was throwing away. And I don't even have the book, just these few pattern pages from the book. Ugh, I know!
And the bunny -- so, so cute!

That is SUCH a cute bunny! I have a four year old daughter, so I don't have quite as much drama, but I'm sure it's coming.
ReplyDeleteOh, a teenage daughter; enough said. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteThe colors and prints you chose for the eggs and bunny are perfect. So cute.
So glad to see you back! Your talents are so many. How clever of you to make up this pattern. I love the idea of calico eggs! Bunny is adorable. My prayers are with you. Twyla

Take heart - teenage daughters grow up to become mature young women. It just seems to take forever sometimes, but it comes. blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see you back after a long absence. I've missed your posts. Your family are very lucky to have you to look after them.
ReplyDeleteThe bunny and eggs are so cute! The colours you've used are so "you". To think the pattern was nearly thrown away!
Hi Dawn,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you back and the bunny and the eggs are adorable. We have 2 teenage daughters too...a junior and a senior. If you ever want to talk, let me know. I think you have my home email from the grandmother's flower garden talk we had. If not you can email through my blog.

Oh, I am glad you are back...I have been concerned at your long absence. I hope all heals itself soon. What a cheerful project to work on though. I just think it is too sweet...just like you.
ReplyDeleteMom of one of those said dd sending you cyber hugs. Here is your happy thought, I had 2 heart attacks due to said dd and my stress level. Do NOT let that happen to YOU!
ReplyDeleteteens are tough...sometimes us mom's just need a cute bunny to get through the day.
ReplyDeleteHey Dawn, so happy to see a new post from you! I'm glad things are improving. The bunny and eggs are just the sweetest. Sometimes life can get crazy and it helps to be able to craft a little sanity!

Shari
