This one has more of a late-summer theme: here I've stitched some favourite botanicals including faithful old clover. I made both this embroidery and yesterday's into small pouches for keeping precious things in, like jewellery or milk teeth. I wish now that I'd stored my kids' milk teeth separately- they've all gotten mixed up in a general 'tooth purse'- sharp little pearls gathered together.
I attended this poetry reading yesterday- it was beautiful to see my friend Helen read her work with Maria McMillan. Even though you might read poetry a lot, there's something completely different about hearing the poet read her own work aloud. This was one of my favourites- Poem Without the L-Word.
Yesterday was a pretty good one all around, actually. Last night, NZ Parliament finally passed the legislation to make same-sex marriage legal. Feeling very proud and pleased for future generations.
