day 26 (and an anniversary)

 LATE !

On this very special October day
 there were sooo many things to do
and apart from that
we didn't even have a celebration
what we normally would have on this anniversary day !

Fixing my hair (oh yes, that takes a while)
making a nice dinner for tomorrow for seven (or eight) people
and of course (like a normal Pinktober day)
stitching my textile jewel.
(and taking photo's in very bad light because the clock went back an hour)

For our anniversary I chose a little heart
of felt and silk.

For the jewel I choose brown felt.
When you  mix all the colours on your palette you get brown.

Some might say what a drab colour,

but for me that isn't true at all :

 BROWN 
 is the colour of the earth 
 of skin 
 of soft fur 
 of chocolate and coffee 
 of old leaves that will nourish in spring 
 of a long, quiet and true love 
 brown is nice ! 

I opt for a pendant on a long cord . . .
or should it be a brooch ?
Well, that is for later :
I think that can be decided by the person who buys it !

My PINK  RIBBON  Textile Jewel
for day 26 :

a little felt heart with silk on the backside, pendant or brooch ?
stitched with silk, linen, cotton and rayon
and many seed beads

day 26

Today, 56 years ago
(when we were still very young)
we said "YES"
Time flew and now we're here
but it's still "YES"

Because it's so much more autumn and colder,
the central heating makes short work of wet felt
that's a plus now.

"YOU'RE IN MY HEART"

*

Our neighbours have a "garden"
that is more STONE than anything else.

The Hedera that grows on the fence at both sides

has been to the "hairdresser" a few days ago :

and flowers, with much needed food for insects right now,

were cut off
(and fell to our side)

So sad !

But they look lovely in my little vase !

Hope to see you tomorrow

for a new Textile Jewel !

day 26

When you look back

it's hard to imagine

that 52 years ago

we were

(officially)

together

Many happy times

and of course a few bumps along the road

but still happy being a team

So why not make it a special Jewel for this day

that shows as much

.....

Our Ginkgo is at its brightest

but the wind ends it all too soon

.......

day 26

A special anniversary today.

(51)

That's why

I choose to make the jewel with this design.

Daughter and one grandson came to dinner

so there wasn't enough time to finish the jewel before that :

in fact it's not finished even now ...

But

that leaves a choice

for the buyer !

My Pink Ribbon Textile Jewel

for day  26 :

a dusted purple JEWEL with two hearts,

felt, stitched with silk and rayon thread

and lots and lots of seed beads.

Because not entirely finished, the buyer can choose it to be

a brooch

or

a pendant

(with a textile bead on a long adjustable cord)

For a donation of

€ 10

SOLD  !

(or a bit more is welcome)

you can choose how I finish

this jewel for YOU.

All you need to do is send me an e-mail at

fiberrainbow@gmail.com

(or tell me at the comments down here)

ALL the donated money goes to Pink Ribbon !

a brooch ?

a pendant ?

"TWO  HEARTS"
