Over two dozen peace pins have fallen from my fingers, mostly in fits and starts. Others await, and I humbly request patience from Barry, Fiona, Angie, Juliann, Marianne, Wanda, and Laurie … some of whom have been waiting longer than others.
In the wake of the presidential election, I am glad to have this project, which is giving me a safe and quiet place to just be. And so I have decided to embark on a practice of stitching one pin each day.
Today’s pin …
is heading to Marti in New Mexico, joining two other pins which she is sharing with her twin grandchildren. The card is from the Harwood Museum in Taos, purchased when I fell in love with the artist’s work.
Later that same day we found our way to the Ammann Gallery where Laurie Celine Baliet was putting the finishing touches on this painting, a view from her back yard, which now resides with us as a reminder of autumn in New Mexico …
May the enchantment that is New Mexico and the promise of this humble project bring you a sense of peace.

Thank you Liz for your generosity. What all of you who come here need to know is that after the election, Liz sent me an email suggesting and I am paraphrasing here, that my choice of word to accompany the word Peace, Live Peace, was what we all needed these days. I mentioned that I had changed my mind about sharing the pins with my grands because I needed to keep one pin for myself as a talisman to wear as a way of centering me for the days ahead…. Immediately Liz said to give the pins to my grands and she would make another one for me. Her actions and generosity have filled my heart with the simple notion that together, with caring and kindness, we go on…

I just found one of yours that says “take heart” with a lovely curvaceous heart on the back. I’ll post a picture on my blog tomorrow.

This seems like a perfect project for right now. My daily posts this week are really inspired by my pin (I will be getting there with a post!) which I am keeping close…nurture peace. Thank you again…

Hi LA – it is certainly good to have such a meditative project post election – may you experience peace and calm as you stitch. I’m happy to wait – peace requires resilience and patience. Love how you think about matching the colours. Go gently. B

I’m back because I have been trying to find balance and if possible, any crumb of good news and I found it here in my state of New Mexico: New Mexico now has a woman majority state legislature
