Happy Homemakers
Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. ~ William Morris
Creativity
The opposite of consumption is production. It takes far more time and energy to create something than to consume something. It takes a novelist a year to write a book that someone can read in a few days. A cast and crew of thousands spend years to create a film that will be viewed in two hours. Often our only recreational activities are actions of consumption. What an alternative it is, then, to rediscover the wonder and delight of creativity.~Albert Hsu
Cheerfully Frugal
Use it up,
wear it out,
make it do,
or do without.
~Depression-era Rhyme

Growing Things
He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who pursues worthless things lacks sense.~Proverbs 12:11
Nourishment and Wellness
Good broth will resurrect the dead.~South American proverb
Abundant Life
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." ~Jesus in John 10:10
Sweet Friends
Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!~Nehemiah 8:10

Hi honey,
Since I am here at the library and very computer illiterate,I wasn't able to find your article on aprons which I wanted to read. So I am commenting on the subject anyhow.
As you well know, I'm an apron person and have worn them all of your life. I really love them. Maybe it is because they evoke such wonderful childhood memories for me of my mother and grandmother, warm homey kitchens with the smells of good things cooking or baking, families gathered around the table, a way of life that was simpler and sweeter in many ways. Anyhow, I can scarcely get along without one. As you know, I stick everything in my apron pockets from eggs to newborn chicks to letters to pretty leaves to.....well, you name it. I use it for a dust rag, to wipe a baby's nose, anything that comes along, it seems handy. I love pretty calico prints that remind me of the ones Mama and Grandma wore, expecially the now available 30's prints and the feed sack prints. Right now, I'm trying to get one done for Thanksgiving that has Snoopy and pumpkins and things that will delight my grandchildren.There is just something about them that chimes my bells. Crafter's Choice came out this month with a book called "Aprons" that tells about the history and styles and stories associated with them. Needless to say, I ordered one. Anyhow, I don't know what you were saying on your blog about them because I couldn't find it, but thought I'd comment on it anyhow.
Love you and CAN'T WAIT for Thanksgiving when we will ALL be together.
Love you.
Mama
