The healing of stitching in the cold of winter

We had this beautiful autumn filled with all the colours of the rainbow ... but all of a sudden, winter is here :-)

The little birch tree in my garden turned yellow but over a few minutes snow covered the whole scene :-)

 "Birkikvistur" (have no idea of the English name, sorry) has the most beautiful autumn colours I have seen but hidden under the cold snow.

 My little puppy, Krummi, has to go outside in the middle of the night. It is wonderful to listen to the peaceful night with no one around, even the birds are asleep. And watch the snow on the trees and hear the leaves fall to the ground. Beautiful but oh so cold ;-)

 As soon as the first daylight is visible, the birds start singing again and eat the delicious berries that wait for them.

In earlier posts you see that my dear Dúfa got ill and then died my poor little darling. While we waited and nursed her, I stitched this little Christmas box.

I always get help from the family with my projects ...  ;-)

Here is Edda "helping", she had to know what I was doing haha

And here is the box in close up. 

Thank you Judy for the kit. It is always so comforting and relaxing to stitch. We know that, don´t we:-)

Last year my husband was in the hospital for two weeks and in the meanwhile I sat there and watched over him and ... of course stitched :-)

This is what I stitched then.

I can´t think of anything more relaxing and comforting as stitching. It makes it easy to concentrate on praying and add positive thoughts to each stitch.

 Well, petting and taking care of the furry fourleggeds in the family is pretty comforting too :-)

Life

Our dearest little Dúfa had a heart attack two evenings ago. It was like she knew she was leaving. She "said" her goodbye and then laid down again on her favorite place in the living room. All of a sudden she was gone.

We thank her for the two wonderful years she gave us. I also want to thank all of you who prayed for her. We know that prayers help although we don´t always get what we wanted. The prayers and good thoughts help also with the passing to a new state in Life.

And we know although we deeply miss her, that Life never dies. She lives on in a new world full of light and with a healthy body. :-)
