Own two hands

A couple of inspiring things:

1. My husband is painting a mural on our bedroom wall. He has wanted to paint one for several years now but I guess the timing was never quite right. Several weeks ago, it started off looking like this -

Now it looks more like this -

I really love it. It's beautiful. It's a work in progress and he says he has several hours of painting ahead of him to complete it.

2. I recently discovered that my cousin likes to hand embroider. Here are some of the things she made -

Pretty, no? Maybe I'll ask her to teach me.

  2. That mural is AMAZING. It will be even more so when it's done. And the hand embroidery is really beautiful! Maybe you can work on something together, with your sewing skills and her embroidery skills.
