first snow inspired embroidery

On the last post I hinted about a first snow inspired little hand sewing project. I was thinking about how the first snow really rekindles my dwindling inspiration reserves. At the end of autumn , especially when the calendar turns to November, the time changes and the number of daylight hours I am exposed to significantly diminishes, I find myself a little listless. I often feel like curling up with the kitties and taking naps. When I experience the first snow it revives me, unfurls me and gives me the much needed energy to create.

This is how I turned this experience into a small hand sewn felt medallion. It is a resurrection fern snow globe. On one side you see the fern ( me ) curled up with the snow lying on the ground. Then you only need hold it in your hand and shake it and like magic with the snow floating everywhere the fern ( me )  unfurls and awakens.

 

 

 

 

 

The snow melted the next day and we experienced almost summer temperatures on the weekend. The snow may be gone but the inspiration isn't. I already completed my next snow inspired pendant. I love the white snow against the dark brown earth. This will be a simple little tutorial for young and old to sew up some small gifts for special friends. The first snow always means the beginning of christmas gift making in my house. I hope to update my list of tutorials soon for easy access.

 

Have a great start to your week. Remember if you are longing for snow all you need are a needle and some snow white thread and then you will be ready to sew along.

Missed my regular visiting last week and you described my energy level perfectly! I hope a little snow will revive me. If not, I can always pick up the white thread.Those pendants are a beautiful idea for sweet gifts. I'm really looking forward to your tutorial update. You have so many treasures to rediscover. Have a lovely start to you week, Margie.

I guess this is the drawing you spoke about yesterday !!! It's beautiful, magical ! There is such poetry in your snow post and I'm happy that this "white gold" can revive you. For my part, what brings me my daily energy is visiting you almost every morning as soon as I wake up (earlier especcialy).
Thanks for all the time your precious and generous tuttorials require to you ... Have a beautiful white Monday !

I love everything about this post, Margie. The energy that the first snow gave you, how you expressed this renewed energy in your pendant, embroidery & tutorial to come. And I love love love the last photo too. Makes me want to break the screen, put my arm through it and grab the sheet of paper, then touch the pendant.
Thanks for always bringing us lots of motivation & inspiration. You are the best. Best of luck for this new week. xoxox

This is so sweet and so easy. Thank you for the idea. I love how you put it with a flowy top. Cute.

I appreciate how you turned your feelings into art. I have been seeing an art therapist over the past few years. But you do this on your own! Lovely.
