Many years ago when I was a young teen, Easter fell on the day before my birthday. For my gift that year, my sweet grandma gave me two lovely pillow cases that she embroidered. Being a young girl I thought they were special, but today I appreciate them even more. They were made by hands that helped to shape my love of needlework.
She even hand-crocheted the lace along the bottoms.
These treasured pillow cases are a special reminder to me of the gift of life. My life and also the life I have because He gave His life for mine.

Tomorrow for the third time in my life, I will be celebrating my birthday on Easter.
It really makes me pause with wonder and gratitude for the gift of life, because it goes beyond being just a historical event that changed the fate of the world.
It encompasses the real life I have yet to receive.
And that my friends is a whole lot to celebrate!
Wishing you all a blessed celebration of Easter!

Happy Easter dear x
I have a few pieces by Grandmother stitched and I treasure them. I never saw her stitch as she died when I was 9 and alzheimers be for that but looking at her stitching... it was something that I wanted to do and loved to do. I give her the credit as mom hated to stitch or do crafts of any kind and could never understand why I liked it. Happy, Blessed Easter to you.
I love old pieces done by hand. I treasure them also.
Enjoy celebrating your birthday on Easter, how special.
