Both backed in indigo on vintage linen.
Interesting to note that two thirds of the pins have been blue and/or green by request.
And a love letter to the land ...

ReplyDeleteThis makes me smile ... funny, but it just occurred to me to make one for myself. Green for Earth Day.
Love the high amount of 'earth' (as often rendered in print) colors ~ green/blue...so simple, yes? Lots of love around here :)

ReplyDeleteThere can never be too much love, peace or blue/green (in my humble opinion)
Hands in dirt, heart on display, your wondrous love letter to our first mother, Earth: reverence and relevance. Solidarity, caring, concern cross the world for this fragile planet, standing tall, our grand kids marching with their parents yesterday...we quietly observed the day by working in the garden, transplanting seedlings, shoveling homemade compost, wind whispering and moving the three prayer cloths that I have hanging from the ornamental pear trees, against the brick wall, the wall cloth, fringed strips of cloth simply tied to a homemade grapevine; dyed colors all faded except for the rusty bits, tattered but holding, connecting, sending out intention, community earth love.

ReplyDeleteI am heartened by the news of your grandchildren marching ... something I hope to do with mine someday. Our day was spent quietly, too. Don in the garden, me stitching. We are waiting, waiting, waiting for the call from Austin.
Thank you for your word-picture of cloth and land ...
Can there be anything more meaningful than waiting for the call that announces your granddaughter is on her way...when I hear of family waiting for that special call, I remember when our twin daughters were born. Rich called my parents(it was after midnight and they were in bed.) My Mom, so excited, tried to climb out of the bedroom window to get to the phone! she was beside herself with joy, hoping for a new little granddaughter and we delivered two of them! We did not know I was carrying twins...in fact, my Dr told us to look for a bouncing 8 lb boy, instead we got 2 tiny girls!! (Erika was 4 lbs and Shelley was 3 lbs 14 oz and they came a little over a month early.)

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your stories!
Earth Day walk here in Missoula..watching granddaughter play in two lacrosse games, picking up a few more packs of seeds..a sunshine day in the midst of many days of rain and clouds...water for the earth, and all the seeds planted the last sunny day - small leaves emerging every day. Put out more thin strips of fabric and lots of bits of yarn for the busy robins, wrens and other birds working on their nests. Air is filled with song.. a celebratory Earth Day as the first dandelions are blooming and I just put out two new worker bee hotels. My little bee sanctuary is ready to begin another year of organic feeding of bees, butterflies and birds. Each small contribution to Mother Earth helps to sustain her for years to come. Walking/marching, standing strong with my children and grandchildren for the elimination of toxins and protection for living in a world of organic growing.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a day of delight when my little Earth Day stitched from the heart pin from you arrives in my mailbox. Thank you for your heart, your words and pictures....for all you give to the keeping of our Mother Earth.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds magical ... do you have a blog I can link to? I'd love to see the reality of it all.
Liz, my pin arrived today. I love it and how perfect that it was sent on earth day. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to spreading peace when I am out and about. Such a ripple effect you are generating here.
