Hello sweet friends,
Mr Laptop and I are not seeing each other at the moment.
We are having the Spring lavender blues as I would call it and decided
we should take a break from each other.
Well, little breaks now and then.

Here's a little card I made a while ago.
The blue seam binding rose on crocheted flower on the right
is made after a tutorial of the talented and generous

thank you so much Karen!)

My seam binding rose looks a bit different than hers though.
What I did different from the tutorial is that I crinkled the seam binding before using it. Just spray a little water on it and crumple it with your hands. I also added just a tiny hint of different shades of blue with watered down acrylic paint. Just use your fingers, a brush or whatever you like.

Sending you all big hugs from sunny Netherlands.
Take good care of yourselves.
And don't forget to take a break when you need one!
Or two, or more.

Ja, soms zijn er van die fases in het leven wanneer het allemaal niet zo lekker loopt en dan is het goed dat je ook voor jezelf durft te kiezen. Het is ook zulk lekker weer nu, het zou toch zonde zijn om daar niet van te genieten?? Lekker doen hoor! Ik denk regelmatig aan jou en je omaatje, hoop toch dat het zonnetje haar ook goed doet. Je stoffen creatie ziet er prachtig uit, je bloemen zijn top! Liefs, Ira xox

Your card is so stunning, Wendy! You're right, it's not gloomy, it's contemplative, and so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your grandmother, dear. I think you are smart to take breaks once in a while and be contemplative, too, just like your card. I imagine that it is natural to be thoughtful as you mentally come to a place of acceptance about what's going to be happening to the family dynamic. She sounds like a true lady. You are blessed!
Thank you for stopping by my place and leaving some love! It is very much appreciated!! Hugs, Darnell
Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteHope your beloved grandmother is doing better; she sounds like a real trooper! I think you are doing the best thing for a tired body and a weary soul - walking in the sunshine and soaking up the smiles of your loved ones!
Take care!
