They make me think of spending my summer days on the front porch and winter evenings in the rocking chair stitching away on my handwork. Of passing the afternoons bent over my sewing machine or the cutting table. Busy warm hours at home with my dear family around me.
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life,
to mind your own business and to work with your hands,
just as we told you,
so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders
and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
I Thessalonians 4:11,12
Robin tells me I need an official plan for my sewing business and so I am hard at work on one. This passage will be going front and center; first page. A very good place to start, I’m thinking.
I love these verses also! *Ü*
They are my everyday goal & life goal verses~ I strive to live them out everyday…
Wishing you a most blessed day & a day & week filled with sweet & simple joys! ♥
Oh how wonderful!! Check out http://www.achristianhome.com and look at some of the links on the modest apparel (spelling?) section. Maybe you can even be added! (for your head coverings and such!)
May God bless you abundantly!
(I LOVE your redwork!!)
Perfect! Love your ideas!!!

Ooh, I needed to hear these verses today! Thank you for posting them!
jodi… they are goodies, aren't they♥
I have the first of those two verses stencilled on my kitchen wall, right next to the sink. Fitting words to ponder on a daily basis, and a gentle reminder to me while I'm working in the kitchen.
Best wishes on your new endeavor!
Oh, I remember when I first "discovered" this passage. So practical, and yet so profound on so many levels!
Cats on a quilt!! Cats on a quilt!!
