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

How cool to be able to borrow vintage parrterns. What era do you fancy making up your new wardrobe from ?
Well, right now I don't have time to sew much of anything. But I really love 50's style dresses. I don't even think they'd look good on me, but they would be fun to sew one day!
