Kærlighed – embroidered love a la Karen Marie Dehn

During Easter, my favorite embroiderer Karen Marie Dehn gave everyone of her Instagram-followers a chance to stitch along embroidering the word Love in Danish. I was bedridden and very bored, and wanted to do something productive, so this was the perfect project!

We got a letter a day, which turned out to be the perfect amount of embroidering for me back then. It was so much fun seeing the artwork grow one letter at a time!  

Go check out her webpage and her Instagram for her amazing embroideries – she does so many wonderful things, including beautiful insects, flowers and birds!

 

P.S. I’ve been really fatigued lately. Not just because of everything going on in the world, but also because of a lot of health issues this spring. But hopefully I have them figured out now!
P.P.S. Usually I have a lot to say about racism – right now I’m happy a lot of other people are saying those things. Frankly I’ve kind of had my fill at the moment, so I’m hoping more people step up and do something about it. I’m educating my kids as well as I can, which means to them this whole police brutality situation plus racism in general didn’t come as a surprise – my youngest kids are living in a racist reality after all. But if you’re one of those parents to especially white kids who haven’t talked to your kids about racism yet – now is the time! Don’t be afraid – it’s always better to talk about things that are difficult, than ignoring them and letting them fester. And while you’re at it – also talk to your kids about social distancing and respecting other people’s social space. There are lots of families with family members who are at risk, and we all need to pull together to make the world a safer place for all of us.
