blue butterfly

For me the best antidote to nuisance is to get my mind 
and my hands busy doing something that makes me happy.  
I started to play with scraps of fabrics and hand-sewn 
them together, embroidered and knotted it here and there,
as soon as I started to stitch my moodiness disappeared!

This seat pad is called "blue butterfly". 
The butterfly has been identified by different cultures as the symbol 
of the metamorphosis, the restlessness of the mind, 
major change in the course of one's own life, personality or way of thinking, 
it is the symbol of free of expression. 
I thought it's perfect to symbolize my feelings and state of mind
I like the name the ancient Greeks gave it to it: ‘psyche’.

On a more mundane note, the cushion will be for sale in my next 
shop update, I can't tell you right now when it will be, 
since here we are experiencing a second round of flu! 
this year hit us really badly.

Also please excuse my English, is not my first language 
and though I've been livng here for more than a decade I 
still find it a not so straightforward language,
sure you'll excuse me and understand me, thank you :)

Thank you for your support, it really gives me energy!
