Botanical Makeup Bag - On My Worktable

Our little girl started nursery at our local Waldorf Steiner school recently.  To ease her into the new environment it was recommended that I stay for an hour or so, quietly on the sofa reading a book, or doing some handwork.  By being available but not engaging she can begin to explore the nursery without the help of mama and is more likely to play than if mama's attention is readily available.  The idea of someone actually encouraging me to stitch was wonderful.  So I duly took my little bag of stitching and some pieces of grey wool and stitched!Thanks to me leaving my yarn bag behind, this happy wildflower meadow with tulips, poppy, daisies and wild grasses came together from some random leftover colours in the bottom of my stitching bag.  Isn't it wonderful how something can happen from nothing sometimes?I sewed it up into a little makeup bag as my current one is a little worse for wear.   Although I barely wear makeup these days, each time I come to put a little lipstick on, I will think of the day my little girl started nursery and smile.  xx
