Alphabe Thursday.

 

This week we need to study the letter X for Miss Matlocks class. Very difficult but I found something.

Here is my word : X-STITCH.

When I talk about my hobbies  I say X stitch is the most important because I have done that almost  all my life .  I had periods I did something else but I always come back to my stitching.  Several friends asked me to show some of my work. I have some left but most of it I gave away.  So here are just a few things I have put away and just found.  I will need to look for more.

This tablecloth took me forever  to finish. But it is just what I wanted. They are all different wildflowers which I love.

Alphabe Thursday.

 

This Week we study the letter W for Ms Matlocks class. Several Words came to mind and I found some photo’s to go With them.

Last year We Went for a Walk in this park that is full of Willows. It is situated at a river. There was no Wind that day so no Waves on the Water.

With thanks to the WWW we have friends all over the World and isn’t that Wonderful.

Our World and Ruby Tuesday2.


Red is one of my favorite colors so I  like to participate in Ruby Tuesday2 as there  is always enough red to find in my world like this vintage chair that I have had for many years and the antique vase.
  A red plant in a pot and a vase with flowers make the room brighter in these darkening days. The hydrangeas I am trying to dry in that pot. I think they are doing well.

Alphabe Thursday.

 
This week we study the letter V for Ms Matlocks class.
This weeks V is very special because I want to introduce you to a very special person, Gustav Vigeland.
There is a park in Oslo,Norway, that bares his name because it houses 212 sculptures of bronze and granite , all made by him. When we got there I could not believe  my eyes, it is absolutely stunning. It is an outside sculpture museum representing different stages in a human life. Unbelievably beautiful.
I didn’t get to see the whole park due to too little time and very sore feet Bedroefde emoticon( but I made as many photo’s as I could.
There are lots of photo’s and you tube films on the internet of the park and I picked one site that you REALLY should see. It has many photo’s of the Vigeland Park, Oslo.
 http://www.fotosearch.com/photos-images/gustav-vigeland-sculpture-park_2.html.   Do go there! Also many other sites you can find on the net.


1-cruise drie9

Stunning right?

Down here I have some of my very favorites.


10-cruise drie10

On the bottom right photo you see a tower that is called the Monolith totem. It is 46,32 feet high and is composed of 121 human figures rising towards the sky.  It portrays a feeling of togetherness as the human figures embrace one another as they are carried towards salvation.
The photo’s are all mine, the words I found on the internet.
