Peace stitches

A quiet week. Time for some reflection and rumination, and just a bit of stitching.

This is a small gift for a friend. A friend towards whom I was insensitive and thoughtless. A friend who graciously forgave.


Thank you friend.

  1. Beautiful embroidery.
    I'm sure your friend felt the love and care and apologies in each and every stitch you made for her. True friends accept us when we are at times thoughtless and insensitive; they remind us we are misbehaving, but they do forgive us. I'm glad you have a true friend - someone who'll love your red stitches.

  5. I'm putting my hand up. I too, am guilty of such evils. A whole lot of self flagellation and repentance goes on after I have realised my sins. But, um, feel free to take aim at me with those sort of apologies on offer.
