Little girl again

This morning we drove to the airport to pick my mother. She'll staying with us two weeks.
I was very excited the whole week and Denzel too. He hasn't seen grandmother 2 years. In a life of a 3.5. years old boy that is almost a lifetime!!

It was strange though.. seeing my mother after so long. while waiting for her to show up (a whole hour!) I had tears in my throat but when she was finally there I didn't cry. Strange. I feel like a little girl and at the same time such a grown up like I never felt in my life...

My last creation was a needle felting project for myself - No swaps this time!
I needle felted with my machine some organza fabric and wool and silk roving and silk carriers. Then I was busy the whole weekend embroidering and beading..

It turned out to be a mobile hanging from the ceiling in my studio...
I like it. It reminds me the little girl I once looked like (although it is not me in the photo!) and the girly girl I still have inside...

This is really sweet and it is great to make something for yourself every now and then isn't it. Hope you enjoy your mum's visit, mine arrives in less than two weeks to come and help with the new baby-to-be.
