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

  6. The heart looks gorgeous against the grey background, it really makes it pop. :)
    Your grandson wearing those clogs is funny, I wonder if you enjoyed the noise they made as much as him! ;)
