While on bed rest with Elisa, I did a lot of crafting, because well, I couldn't do much else, except for watch TV, work, or read. I spent a lot of time doing cross stitch, knitting, and other crafts....yes I sound like I am 80 :)
After Elisa passed away, I had a hard time getting back in to crafting. Everything I did brought me back to the days on bed rest, wishing and hoping that she would be OK. It took a few months for me to get back to doing anything creative, and when I did, I only did a few things at a time.
On of the first things I did, was this shadow box.
I knew I wanted to do something for Elisa, to spend my time and energy on something for her. I also knew all of her stuff from the hospital. was still just sitting int he box they had given us. I was too afraid to take it out for too long, worried the papers would rip, or her blanket would get dirty.
So the shadow box was a perfect. It was in honor of her, and allowed me to take her things out and highlight them where I knew they would be safe
