I have sent or handed out this year's holiday cards, so I can finally share the poem I had printed on the front of these folded cards.

A beautifully poignant poem by Margaret Atwoord:

We hear nothing these days
from the ones in power

Why talk when you are a shoulder
or a vault

Why talk when you are
helmeted with numbers

Fists have many forms;
a fist knows what it can do

without the nuisance of speaking:
it grabs and smashes.

From the inside or under
words gush like toothpaste.

Language, the fist
proclaims by squeezing,
is for the weak only.

Some of this year's holiday cards will show a part of this beautiful tatreez tree (Shajara / شجرة) ornament from Hebron.

Tirazain is an amazing archive & library of tatreez patterns.

Have a look, follow a pattern and keep tatreez alive 🇵🇸

I found the poem I will use when having this year's cards printed.

Thanks for finding the words, Margaret Atwood!

Eleven christmas balls and ten little birds left to embroider, and I'm finally happy to have found the patterns I'll use most this year :crossstitch_grl:

Working on this year's holiday card embroidery: I am still undecided on which design I'll choose, or I might go for mix of these.

In recent years I have also added a poem to the cards, which is an excellent excuse to purchase Margaret Atwood's latest poetry collection :neocat_book: :crossstitch_grl:
