Not a mend this Monday, but it is handmade and upcycled.. #reuse #handmade #madebyme #slowstitch
My flock of hens, so far. Based on a tradition from India, where owning hens is a sign of prosperity, and a string of these little handmade beauties hanging near your door is an invitation for prosperity to enter your household. They are fun to hand stitch with tiny scraps and found baubles, and can be stuffed with spinning waste wool or fabric and thread scraps. #stitching #slowstitch #embroidery #scrapbusting

SNEAK PEEK πŸ‘€ and a bunch of questionssss

β‘  How do families choose which stories survive generations, and which fade into silence?

β‘‘ What assumptions do we make about our ancestors' roles in shaping history?

β‘’ Does not knowing our family's past free us from its implicationsβ€”or deepen our responsibility to uncover it?
