Loving This Today

My grandmother Thea made this for my mom when I was born, and I've had it in my laundry room since Henry was born. I love it. I wish I'd spent even less time stressing out and more time just rocking my babies. Yes, even more.

I'm learning (well, teaching myself) how to embroider right now, so at the moment I am smitten with the beautiful stitching my grandmother did here. I'm wishing I spent more of my younger days hanging out in her craft room learning needlework, because she is so talented. She taught me to knit, and it's taken years to get respectable. Now that I'm doing needlework, her first love, I'm really wishing I had the time in Vero to learn from her - all the time, not just visits!

So, today I am loving this. For everything.
