Continuing on this thing of hearts. Began way back here and here. From a time when I was struggling with being good enough at mama-ing and photography. I've learned a little bit more in both areas, mostly that there is always room for growth, and that good enough is as good as it gets sometimes, and hopefully, that will be ok enough in the end.
This morning I pulled this out again, as I sent one very scared and worried little boy off to school. He was on his way to deal with the consequences of his actions yesterday. His heart worries that he is too much and that things will never be easy. I know that worry. Lately I've added a new worry to my own heart, that I may not be enough.
Stitching a peaceful moon for the two of us.
...stuck fabric in a jar with some simmered onion skins (inspired by deanna)...
layered bits of blue and green on top with jude's invisible basting...
added another layer of onion, tea and who-knows-what dyed on top.
asked my boys (including the grown-up one) to draw some hearts.
started stitching, cutting away...
being with these hearts.
