a heart (is what we need)

I picked up an "old" piece 

with a heart

that was only pinned to the background.

Now I'm working on it again

Left in the background 

is a bit I received some years ago from Australia (Jacky)

The heart has some very old bits in it

and one small piece with only half a "flower"

so I completed it's form in stitch

It gets a black and white tail

(thanks Jude)

The black and white strip on the side I remember from years ago

in a workshop with Mirjam Pet.

Today our little grandson wore

(like a real Dutchman)

wooden shoes

(they are his mom's old ones !) 

Oh, how he loves the sound he is making

when he wears them 

!!!

And :

he looooves to clean up

(that all the droplets were on the outside

didn't bother him)

And finally :

 je suis 

 Charlie 

Because

violence is 

never ever

the solution 

for any problem

in the world
