One of my best friend's grandmother passed away yesterday and it's been a difficult time for her and her family. I know people usually send food as condolences, but I figured that this might cheer her up a little more than a casserole. It's a patch, hand-embroidered with her nickname onto linen and felt. I put it in an envelope and will post it tomorrow because I don't know when I'll see her next and I know that, personally, receiving mail always brightens my day so I thought it was worth it to try and brighten hers.
Often times, the little things mean a lot more than we think they do. This took me under an hour, and hopefully will bring a smile to her face. I always try to keep that in mind, that things that don't seem big to us may mean the world to someone else. (I'm not saying this gift will cure her grief, I'm just hoping it brings her a little joy.)
Have a nice week and give your loved ones a hug.
P.S. I have some exciting sewing things lined up for this summer, so get pumped. Maybe not too pumped, maybe just moderately looking forward to seeing more life on this blog!
