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.
Twenty Years, Two Hundred and Forty Months, Seven Thousand Days, and Three Hundred Days. Since we started chasing Leukemia.

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.
