Over the years, mainly through my wall hangings with their own special and significant ' proverbs ' ... But there are a few I was given that I like. One expensive little ' folksy ' type offers handpainted wooden description was smarter to be Grandma first-be much easier and more enjoyable for mothers (Oh yes!). Another ode to my house, how I feel it and its inhabitants, and with a small brass internal ' frying pan ' ... Sweet, Oh-h-h real so this little song ' feelings.
"My house is smaller ...
Not a millionaire mansion
But there is room for love and friends.
All I care about "
One must cross-stitch badani (her husband's nationality) that I found at the ancient coastal town, not far enough to know it recognised words was Danny (Yes ...I know a little more ' swear ' words in another language!). Year of creation recorded 1973, and its fascinating embroidered made it for me. Of course, in Danish, all rhymes, rhythmic lilt achieves, but usually in English reads:-
' Come from the South, the North will come,
Come to us, in which we live ...
Come to lunch everyday, let's feast
Come and be our guest welcome
I like to translate this ... Visitors to tell the story of my discovery of this ' treasure '-a confused expression store owner when she realized I was actually learning the language, Aussie "mystery" that in the past. (Not many Danes were in Australia at the time). If only I could speak ...I always believe came from overseas. Gradually, but inexorably. Certainly, I have two cross-stitch treasures know definitely came from Denmark.
These are long, rectangular style of the Belle-powerful, with ornate brass and bras, running once ' noble ' to summon their team with a simple drawing. They are an extremely popular these days, many homes as pure decoration.
So I have one that secretly he was invited by my parents-bahok be performed by specially trained in Denmark for me needlewoman. It was my gift for a birthday, a special day (perhaps my 30th?) when we were dairy farmers. What a wonderful surprise site ... What ornament was deep and loves ... This, every time we moved, always happy to find the best new home of its own.
Here all the cross-European animals describe stitches-a tribute to my lifetime love of animals. The long vertical line are-
A pair of adult deer grazing among the FIR
Squirrel bgdm tree, eating Balut
Rabbit ' grazing ' vegetable garden by Beth
A pair of ducks swimming in the barrels
Pair of ynshopim the tree branch, peering down on ...
Hedgehog, sniffing mushrooms
Fox on the courtyard house (perhaps a chicken coop?
Nothing a pair of young deer-male alert when female.
Each image in the beautifully detailed in a cameo of shades. If someone questions the amount of ' art ' in Craft, they should view such works. I believe needlewoman was far from a young ... But it was an amazing crafter for all her life.
I saved my beloved the ultimate of these tapestries particular to last. It was one was admired from the first day I saw it, was he translate me, 40 + years ago. Inherited my mother-in-law after her death, a small cross of this beauty features sew sentences, each with its own appropriate image ... Also on cross-stitch. Her words translated from Danish to say:-
"Today the Sun
Night stars
There are bytes
Paddock is green
Treat nature
Be careful what you take
So the earth can still be
Fertile and beautiful '
He always seemed to me a particular beliefs and to celebrate, applaud love treatment of our land and our, we shared two generations ... Respect and empathy bequeathed to this family 400 years in Denmark. Proud heritage ... It is a thought expressed this curator depends on the wall.
And then there are all the tapestries ???-I did myself ... But a different matter.
