Hi friends! Hope all is well with you. Welcome to new friends! =) Glad you stopped by!
I designed, stitched and finished a little pinkeep back in spring. I call it 'Papa Francisco'.
I kept it neutral in color. I used a platinum linen. I researched his
attire. Made sure to give him his iron cross, silver ring and his black
shoes.
Am I Catholic? Nope. I was raised Catholic and was for the first 30 years of my life. Became Lutheran like my husband and kids. Anyhow, it's kinda still a large part of me. My whole family is Catholic. I really, really admire Pope Francis. I thought it would be super to make a pinkeep of him and leave a space for him to sign. I looked up how to properly write a letter to the Pope and the address and I sent it off in June. Well, I guess I am real naive.
Guess what came in the mail for me yesterday?! Yup! It's back from Vatican City. BUT... no signature. :( I suppose it was too much to expect honestly. But I did get this.
Well, it is a copy of his signature. ;)
I walked over to the park and got myself some Willow tree branches. Those are a lot straighter than our Silver Maple tree branches. And.... I framed my 'Autumn Delights' with twigs, right on the top of the flatfold. It turned out just like I envisioned. Not the best picture, but here ya go.
I made a loaf of Challah bread yesterday. One of my favorite breads I bake. It is a Jewish recipe.
This one does not have the egg wash I usually put on it.
That's all I got for today friends. You have yourself a stitchtastic day now. =)
Stitching and praying,
Vickie
