Beautiful Needlework

Blogs and Blogging...



Debbie R., a lady from Texas, has posted some lovely photos of embellishments in her needlework blog, "Needle Lil More Time to Sew". Many of her embellishments appear to be fancy bits on crazy quilts. If you enjoy needlework, you'll find her blog and archives interesting and inspiring.

In her posts for mid-October, she talks about making a "hussif" -- that is, a housewife, an old-time sewing kit that men carried with them when they traveled or went off to war. I think her hussif is a little more feminine and fancified than the utilitarian models that were stuffed into the saddlebags of wayfarers.

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
