I can’t help but think of James Taylor’s Yellow and Rose as I stitch these tiny 3/4" pieces of peace …
And fear not, I’m continuing to stitch regular-size peace pins as well … this one for a sewist at St Liz …
In the midst of chaos, I find joy in little things, like my new lunar thread nest and positive bits of "wisdom" on Instagram …
And always, all-ways, these guys make my days brighter (I did a double-take the first time I saw the second picture) …

Everything about this post was like a warm hug, especially those smiles...Your lunar thread nest intrigued me so I clicked on the link and loved her Garden Caroler Friends and her Snow People. Now I would put your Moon Myth book right up next to your lunar thread nest for a visual and reading delight. Marti
ReplyDeleteMarti - the moment I saw the lunar mug flit by in a video Jen posted on Instagram, I knew I wanted one ... I'm glad you enjoyed seeing some of her other pottery
DeleteHi LA - I feel as though I'm emerging from a fog of large but what a better sight to see that your delightful peace pins and ongoing efforts to create and find joy and peace in these times. Go gently. B
ReplyDeleteB - your request for rainbow threads got me thinking about doing more variegated-on-white pins ... thanks for that!
DeleteThose tiny peace pins are wonderful and I love your lunar mug. I am currently working on sewing peace here too
ReplyDeleteJuliann - sewing peace is just the thing these days ... I'm glad to be in such good company
DeleteAren't those wee ones just a delight!!! I love the myriad of colours - so much happy and joyful peace! And yes to finding joy in small ways and small places...in smiles and the happiness of children.
ReplyDeleteF - interesting to note, the 3/4" pins take about half as long to make as the 1 3/4" pins, even though they are 1/4 the size ... they are wonderfully fiddly and I do find myself smiling as each one is completed
DeleteLove all those different ASAPs and as always peace. :) Deb G
ReplyDeleteDeb - and now I'm wondering if there might be some other ASAPs I could think up
DeleteLiz~ Those lil peace signs are so cheerful, as are the grandchildren pics! Nancy
ReplyDeleteThe colors brighten the gray days … hoping all will be well as rain falls on the LA area
Delete(((Liz))) love your peace offerings so much, Shine On!
ReplyDeleteMo - likewise I’m loving the dream pillows coming to life in your hands … moonshine on
DeleteHere as promised, and heartened by all your warmth and stitching. xo
ReplyDeleteLesley - I’m so glad you made your way here … I’m looking forward to seeing future posts on your blog

ReplyDeleteDear Liz, thank you very much for your comment. Where can I find this list? I have been reading your posts regularly for years. I use the translator because my English is not very good. Your words often give me courage in these difficult days of world politics. I am very enthusiastic about your Peace Pin project. I will be happy to present it on my website soon. If you give me your consent. I will present it in my small community and spend an afternoon together with everyone. I prepare the pins and everyone can finish them as they wish. It is a wonderful project to connect us humans. Thank you very much for this great project. Best wishes from across the sea, Katja
Katja - I’m glad to see you found your way to the Kindred Spirits list … and love knowing you have been quietly present here for years! I would love to send you a peace pin … better yet I can send it in German if you give me the words!
DeleteDear Li, I sent you an email. Have a nice evening, Katja
DeleteLiz, I found the list. Thanks.
