Sewing each day keeps the crazy away.

 


 It took me years and years of trial efforts to work out that there is absolutely no knitting triumph I can achieve that my husband will think is worth being woken up for.

                              A clean house is a sign of a broken sewing machine.                                                       

My biggest fear is that when I die my husband will sell all my craft supplies for what I told him they cost.

..

            I just don’t want to look back and think that I should have bought that fabric.


                  Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Michelangelo to paint your garage.             

                                Of course I am working. It is a power tool with thread.

                                I am not a hoarder. I just need a bigger craft room.

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
