Hello lovelies,
Here's a simple embroidery project I completed this week... and I'm pretty delighted!
(Considering the piles of projects that are half-started... it's always a nice treat to begin - and finish - an idea).
My guy Ben and I considered a few options of what words/text/verses I could go with.
I wanted something that inspired/defined our home.
Having just spent time reading 1 Corinthians 13... it struck me that the verse "love never fails" would be a beautiful choice.
(This also happens to be the same chapter that inspired my wrist tattoo).
I cross-stitched the verse on to a stamped piece of muslin/canvas I had inherited.
Isn't the stamped design so pretty? I loved working around that pattern.
This stitched hoop now hangs in the ever-growing hall/wall of family-sentimental memories.
(You can learn more about this collection here).
(I also hung that painting on the left that I did for my home.brewing home.slice baker ben!)
--------------------
I really enjoy seeing this reminder every time I come down the stairs.
Every start to a new day.
"Love never fails".
We fail.
We falter.
We suffer heartbreak and hurt.
But 'love' isn't the cause... just the absence or abuse of it.
So I want to hold tight to the source of Love.
And I want to shine it out in a home - in a world - hungry for real love.

What word/message would you stitch on your walls?
Creatively yours,
Mel ;o)
