… two hearts in a basket with other items…

Happy Easter!

"Easter is…

Joining in a birdsong,

Eying an early sunrise,

Smelling yellow daffodils,

Unbolting windows and doors,

Skipping through meadows,

Cuddling newborns,

Hoping, believing,

Reviving spent life,

Inhaling fresh air,

Sprinkling seeds along furrows,

Tracking in the mud.

Easter is the soul's first taste of spring."

Spring has returned!

Spring has returned.

The Earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.

Rainer Maria Rilke

"And many surprises I bring"...

I come when the children are sleeping,

And many surprises I bring;

As long as no child is peeking,

I'll leave my tokens of spring,

I'll leave my tokens of spring.

I come when the children are sleeping,

Hiding eggs in each cranny and nook;

And then quick as a wink, I'm leaping

Right back into my storybook,

Right back into my storybook.

These are Mini-Quilts, a piece of magnetic foil is attached to the back, so that they can be used as magnets at the fridge or so.

Spring is coming...

... and the birds are singing in the morning!

This one is pinned at the door of my fridge -

(it has a piece of magnetic foil at its back).

Circle of Stories

"We are all joined in a circle of stories."

- Linda Joy Myers, Journey of Memoir: The Three Stages of Memoir Writing 


This is a sketch of the pattern which I found somewhere,
but I forgot where exactly, it's a decade ago.
Originally it shows even lines only,
but I added some curved lines to achieve a smoother impression.

I thought this pattern might be nice for a wallhanging, 

decorating like a wreath a door to a home,

where so many stories are taking place which are all interwoven.

This piece here is hanging on a branch from the local park.
