Hey Noreen,Here is my first entry! I had a great time making this. First time all around! I chose a butterfly because they are signs of renewal and Spring is all about renewal of trees, flowers, everything! So I call this Renewal of the heart.I made the square out of Bamboo Yarn on my Hazel Rose weaving loom 4 inch, followed by my colorful butterfly which I spool knit and the antennas are chenille stem with lil black beads. So as not to attract away from my butterfly I used yarn to free hand a flower LOL! I am very proud of my lil french knot in the middle of flower! Took me a while to figure that out. Thank God for the internet!Not sure of what I am gonna do with this frame it without glass or magnet for fridge? Any ideas much appreciated!Please let me know if you are able to view it and it will need to be resized I am not good at any of this blogging or posting pics.Thank you so much for this challenge! Now on to my next creation!Thank you

I thought you might like to see this small quilt embroidery that I stitched in 2007after my return home after a cancer operation ( see the scar! ) I hung it near my bed where I could see it when I woke in the morning….. the phoenix like image ties in to my sun sign, Scorpio. It was a way of expessing a lot of emotion without using words.Sorry didn’t mean to sound so serious but I was SOOO glad to be home…..PURE JOY!!Bye for NowCaroline
Thank you Susan and Caroline, for sharing your images of joy…. may joy and wellness continue to bloom and thrive in your lives!
I LOVE your butterfly, Susan, it’s so pretty. I’m hankering!for a pot loom but I’ve never seen one. How about weaving a back and making a pretty purse? It looks so tactile..love it!
Hi Caroline
What a great idea! Hope you are able to get yourself a potholder loom…. you will love it!
