Fairy Fun!

I experienced some sort of “fairy activation” not too long ago, and now I can’t imagine my life without these magical beings floating around, making everything feel a bit more cheerful. How cute are these sweet pink fairies by Lucie Heaton? You can find the free pattern here! I used DMC 209, 310, 436, 444, 704, 891, 938, 3706, and 3755, and I “framed” my piece using Canva. The final effect is SO Pisces, I love it! 

Backstitch and filters make such a difference, don’t they? ;-) I’m sure these three cuties encouraged me to add Fairy Garden and Fairy (yes, I changed the spelling lol) Wings by Nina’s Threads to my growing collection of overdyed flosses. Well, I couldn’t say no!

I was also inspired to create this Fairy Tea Party scene for my inner child in Canva. Fun to use as a desktop background and dream of attending something just like this in real life!

Have a magical week and happy stitching!

It’s Our Time

Late last night I learned that a “stranger” whose journey I’d been following, whose journey had deeply haunted me not least because it involved one of my biggest fears (wrongful imprisonment), had finally and miraculously been released. The seemingly impossible became possible. Goliath defeated. And not just by David but by David’s community. So many emotions. So much awe. We are all, indeed, connected. We have SO MUCH POWER, especially when we let go of the BS and come together. And dare to believe. In freedom. In miracles. In even the darkest of situations changing for the better.
