Josie says"Why hands, you may wonder? Well, virtually every activity I do each day involves my hands – cleaning, cooking, sewing, writing, playing with the children, gardening, photography itself, tidying up around the house … everything that my day to day rhythm involves … and yours too, I’ll bet.
And in thinking how amazing our hands are, how expressive they can be, I thought it would be great to celebrate them. Sometimes they’re kind, gentle and delicate in their actions and at other times firm and strong. Our lives truly are hand-made, aren’t they?"
Don't know if I'll manage every day for a month, and I'm sure other things will creep in and grab my attention, but for now its all about the hands.
But what are you making Nora I hear you cry.
Well pop over here and you will see.
Love Nora xx
Ooh, pretty March! I meant to join up with Josie today as well, but got bogged down, perhaps tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI love those wee felties!
Did I miss your fabric calendar??? I love it! Tell me more!
ReplyDeleteHello Nora!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear you're on board with the Hand celebration :-)
Great photos and i love the very well fed and cuddly chicks !
Thank you for linking, and have a happy weekend,
Josie x
I look forward to see all that you do, and the littlies too I suspect.
ReplyDeletea lovely post, we are following dear Josie too and posting up hand pics. I have been friends with the dear girl since we were teenagers... she is an inspiration, isn't she. I have been following your posts and comments too - been a bit of lurker till now - so thought it is high time to say hi, properly. Helen
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder if we should insure our hands....you know, in the same way supermodels insure their legs...
ReplyDeleteI wondered about planning a calendar post for each month back in January too! Didn't do it, of course...
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet you - thanks for your tin can comment! I love what you're making, and your sewing club sounds just wonderful. Right at my level, too...
A hand made life? I hadn't really thought about it that way before but I suppose that's exactly what it is :o)
