Today is a beautiful day, and so is any other new day for me. Every day has its own allure. If you choose to appreciate the morning sun’s strokes of light painting the clouds, the sound of wind finding its way through the leaves or even the form and sound of the milk rising in the sufuria as it comes to a boil then like me, you will discover there’s so much to life that we take for granted.
In the spirit of commemorating my days, I take time to celebrate the day I took the bold step of starting off my cross stitch journey with this piece that I titled “The Green Rabbit”.
It is a very simplified version of the form of a rabbit. I got the pattern, the material , the yarn, the hoop and even the needle all from my mum’s embroidery stash and decided to have a go at it. It took me a really long time to complete! Looking back, I think I chose the green color because again, from her stash of supplies,it proved to be the most abundant color and not because rabbits are herbivores. Haha!
I must have been an ambitious girl, who went ahead and even included white beads( which, you guessed right, I sneaked out of my mum’s stash) around the rabbit’s border, just to try and spice it up a little.
Now that’s the kind of enthusiasm I embody in my work, and if that was my humble beginning, I wonder what a proud ending would look like.
