A little applique and embroidery inspired by this:
Aidan's drawing of his dream home. He told me he is going to find that tree and build the house next to it. Avery asked me why there are stairs going up to the tree instead of the house. I didn't have an answer for her at the time, but while stitching the stairs I thought perhaps up in the tree is where my little boy keeps his dreams. Inspiring indeed.
Very cool craft ... and I like your explanation of the stairs. What a wonderful inspiring gift to save for your children. What a fantastic way to keep alive their dreams :).
ReplyDeleteToo adorable, Molly. Your son's artwork and your embroidery! Such a wonderful way to preserve their childhood memories. So glad to see you crafting!:)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. I love the fabrics you chose, too.
ReplyDeleteI love that; I've been meaning to do that for a long time.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's wonderful, beautifully done Molly!
ReplyDeleteWe have been doing quite a bit of embroidery here in the last week as well. Some with Samuel's drawings even.... I think we might have some sort of east coast/west coast parallel universe thing going on!
Oh, how inspiring...
ReplyDeleteSuch a heartwarming post! Before I scrolled down to your son's drawing, I noted to myself how unique the tree was and then to see how your son had drawn it. Wonderful! I love how you explained the stairs to the tree :)
ReplyDeleteYour sweet interpretation made me smile.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. Your piece is beautiful and the story behind it is so cute.
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart! That is so wonderful. Gillen just started embroidering again this evening. I'll have to show this to him when he wakes up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special piece. I love that idea.
