lovely May

May

is a month of greens

of growth

of promises for the future

of new life

a garden full of delicate little blue flowers

(a try out of my new Derwent Inktense pencils and a bit of water)

I even made a quilt once, called "Remember May"

detail

(I try to remember

in the gray of November

that spring green day in May)

Our daughter finished yesterday a lovely felting task:

a small rainbow baby blanket

(especially inspired by the felt work of Jana)

It wasn't an easy project, but all worked out very well !

the first layer made,   hearts cut out and a backing of very thin silk

playing "quatre mains",   and removal the auxiliary threads (grrrrr)

But in Holland

May 4 

is also a day of awareness :

remembering the dead

from world war II

and wars after that
