I'm Smiling...... Gourmet Yarn Class Tommorrow

Collectible Sewing Cases...... Heart Warmer!

Yes, we sewists/quilters are a special breed.    Only for US would the heart soften to the touch of a safety pin, wrapped thread and a threader....

But, I didn't know what it was..... as I searched an empty desk for some tape....

Recently, my oldest daughter asked me to sew a button on her coat.... I scoffed... u don't know how........

She said "YES MOM"..... I have a sewing kit with thread...(itty bitty kit not made for a big job).... but I guess the plain thread is not strong enough for a wool coat..... hmnnn!

 

Now.... even even I made my kids a real sewing kit.... THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T APPRECIATE IT!!!   NEW DAY KIDS!!!

God's Love

“Those who are filled with the love of Christ do not seek to force others to do better; they inspire others to do better, indeed inspire them to the pursuit of God. We need to extend the hand of friendship. We need to be kinder, more gentle, more forgiving, and slower to anger”(Ensign, May 1992)

One Flower Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday!

Handstitching at home and at my desk..... for my waiting HEXIE SWAP Friends!!

 

Freaky Friday.... Friendly Quiltin Friday !!!

A Poem by Emily Dickenson

Hope Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune--without the words, And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chillest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.

 

Four-Patch Redesigned -- or Disappeared?!

Why do I love thee???

Jars and Jars....  and more....

Below is a picture of my mother's vase of some sort.....  I filled it with buttons....

My plants survive... some years they THRIVE.....   My buffalo is also a survivor... a tough cookie like myself......  

And yes, for the hidden - softer- gentler side of me....lol...  there are angels surrounding me and my life....!!!

 

 

Disappearing 4-Patch....  can't quite fall in love with this.....???
