I have always imagined that when I am old I will sit out on my front
porch on my rocking chair, chatting with friends and loved ones while
peacefully drinking a cup of tea. I look forward to it. My fellow
crafter Marie Pickering of Softearth’s World in New Zealand posted this
to her blog one day about these lovely ladies she felted to sit in
handmade clothespin rocking chairs she found at a local fair: here’s the
link to Rocking Away. I
recognized my future self right away in her artwork! I told her this
and she sent me one as a gift! It was such a wonderful surprise! I am
now displaying this rocking lady in my craft room as a reminder of my
dreams for my old age. I don’t get to do much sitting around here with
busy children and the many things that always need doing, but I know
that someday when things will slow down a little, I will sit in my
rocking chair each day watching the beautiful morning outside. Thank
you Marie!
