Stars over the Lunenburg Heath
and junipers became an awe-inspiring creature
over Portugal the stars are both this March:
romantic and informative
but I remember stars I have seen
bright and sparkling
some years ago
when I fell off the stairs and stopped at the doorframe
But some stars are etched on my mind:
It was in Khartoum/Sudan 15 years ago
by night and 30°C
when I saw a falling star
which divided in two stars
and a year later I was already a mother to twins (girl and boy)!

My mother gave me this last week
(it is made by my grandmother hundred years ago)
and so I decided to try embroidering for this week's drawing challenge
No 166. And, isn't the tambour frame like a space telescope ;-)
The theme STARS is from dear Veronica (thank you for hosting, again!).
Please look here at the firmament to find more stars.
Thank you for your visit!
Sweet and sentimental gift from you Mom. A star dividing into two and then twins! Your stars are shining strong through the wooden telescope. Great idea, Ariane. xo
AntwortenLöschenI love your wooden telescope. And the Twin-Story.

Wonderful stories. And falling stars bring luck!
AntwortenLöschenWhat an incredible story! About the falling star divided in two, and later the twins! How exciting!
AntwortenLöschenyou are lucky getting those beautiful things after your grandmother.
A creative and lovely work you've done also.
AntwortenLöschenobviously it was written in the stars dear Ariane,
AntwortenLöscheni like how you combined good and lesser memories and a little precious gift to create something new and lovely, xx
Hi Rose, I read this with great interest! The stars speak to Rose, is the thought that came to my mind!
AntwortenLöschenPerhaps few people know how to understand what they say.
Very beautiful antique piece, Wow. 100 years it is not little!
what a gift and then the fix in your head, both literal, and creative... when i was a child, i had to have my head stitched at about right the spot you are indicating. i've a scar to show for it. your loaded story reminded my of my own. and yes! that piece up there is a time-telescope! and all written in the stars for you... n♥
AntwortenLöschensorry i am late!
