The sun came out over the weekend, which was surprisingly uplifting and even inspired a trip to the beach to soak in it. Even though it's been a strangely warm winter so far, it's been dark and rainy most of the time. We saw people having a midwinter swim yesterday. Brave things.
The children brought inside this miniature bouquet of daisies from the front lawn. I've been thinking about embroidered surface design lately, the idea that stitches could be used in the same way a stamp block or print might be. I cross-stitched a pattern onto a piece of old linen in blue, yellow and white. Inspired by the fistful of daisies and the sun that came out for a day. Happy new week!
