Last year sometime Mom found a set of needlepoint canvases that she thought would make a good addition to Holy Names. My job was to order them and take a set called Creation over to the school.
I ordered them and then they never seemed to make it to the school.. Sorry Sisters.
When we were headed to the hospital, I threw one of the days of creation into the "project" bag. Along with the origami paper and Learn How to Water Color stuff. After the 1001 cranes were done I picked up the needlepoint.
I have another unfinished project but broke one of my rules and started another. I meant to come home and pick up the Renoir but did not. So I began DAY 1.... Light

I guess it was the perfect thing to work on. at the time. Small, pretty easy and there was a plethora of light in the hospital. It was easy to do and the symbolism seemed to be right. Out of the darkness and into the light one tiny stitch at a time.
It seems to be working. Some issues with black and dark dark, did I mention dark green but then I will be the only one who knows for sure. I am looking forward to finishing this one and working towards somethings more solid like Day 2 ..... Firmament. Working our way back to reality and more substantial life.

That is beautiful. Your cranes are beautifuul as well. Mine will become part of a Sara memorial project I will be doing... someday. So it's very dear and close to my heart.
