One touch of nature
makes the whole world kin.
William Shakespeare

~felt wren~
i cut two pieces of felt
in the shape of a wee little wren
the wren is quite sociable
she reminds us
to keep a happy heart
and be kind to others
embroidery thread in a shade of cream
wren
bringer of good luck
stitched along the border
wren...HUMILITY
marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit;
not arrogant or prideful
an aromatic touch
to softly sweeten and soothe thee air
a wren is content to flit from place to place with shallow roots.
this is symbolic of the old adage
"home is where the heart is."
filled this wee little wren nice and full
In this respect,
the wren reminds us
it is not the material items we gain,
but the quality of relationships
made along the way that enrich our lives.
a final few stiches to close this wee little one up
though ever so small
a wren beholds quite a symbolic message
encouraging us to
go beyond the realm of the "known"
and to access the adventure that waits for us
one must have an eye to see
so a few little knots for thee
where love is there is bliss
and love is everywhere
from the top most peaks that kiss
the clouds where the eagles pair
to the deepest tangled glen
where flies the tiny wren
~maybe you could make a wee little friend today~

Oh, this is SOOOO beautiful! You have made it look very nice and simple to do. :) I have wonderful herbs to place within. :) But I have SOOOO much trouble with French knots (I think that's what they're called). Pretty, pretty, pretty! Theresa
I won't make a "wee little friend today" (it's kind of late), but I'll sure make one before the end of the month. I have a week off! I can barely believe it ;-)
