Inspiration at work

A new baby girl joined the world and my family

 at the beginning of last week!

The world became a better place although it is difficult to see it right now!

Can you imagine how hard it is for a mother to be far away from her daughter when she is giving birth to a new baby? Far away I mean a couple of thousands of miles away! 

All this agitation, stress, worry and restlessness were about to resolve one way or another when…

Just before...

12:30AM- Text message: "We are in the hospital and A. is in active labor. Reception in the room is bad but we'll let you know when there is news."

04:05- Text message: "Congratulations! A. woke me up at 03:50 and 15 minutes later your new granddaughter popped out like a bullet. All is well and we are all exhausted but very happy, will call as soon as possible.

And after...

The air came out of my lung with a loud sigh of relief ( realized I was holding my breath for a long time)and then I was flooded with a  huge all consuming wave of joy, happiness and frustration of me not being able to touch, kiss, hold and hug them all.

06:00- 06:00 I started knitting a blanket for Alma. I was doing the knitting while the soy wax was melting. Photos started to arrive!

I kept knitting and knitting and mixing paints into the wax. I kept my hands busy, while my heart was here and there and everywhere.

 Streams of ideas, emotions, love and hope, all painted in the pink of the moment was poured into the moulds and the…blanket.

Bothe candles and blanket

And there between the knitting and the candles pouring I managed to find some peace of mind an patience to endure the time left for my flight over there.

My side, my part, of the rest of this story will be told by yet…more creations.
