For Listening While You Do Something Else

Hello Ladies,

I appreciate your visit more than you know.

Today I began by encouraging ladies at home to give yourself a big lift by taking care of yourself as soon as you are able, and try to give yourself a good start with a good appearance. 

I referred to Anna Bey who speaks about the sloppy dress trends.

We ladies at home have our own style that works for us at home, and we are not subject to any trends. However, the "cottage core" style, which is timeless, is trendy now.

I added interesting sleeves to the simple dress pattern I usually sew.

I had been wanting to see how this sleeve  from this pattern was constructed:

I found it challenging and I am enjoying the results. 

With apron— for staying in…

with cloak…for going out

I sewed this many years ago for the “fog fashions” posts. To find them go to the search area on top left and write “ fog fashions”.

We have a stack of spruce wood outside and the scent is very nice. 

I ordered a set of Jane Austen books from Regency Marketplace via Amazon. I like the soft covers with the leather-like texture and each volume was a little under $7.00.

This book was from the dollar store many years ago and there was no date on it, so I know not if it is available today.  You  might do a search for it and order it. It has tea stories, recipes, facts, quotes, history and other tidbits.

I read from a church bulletin:

Phones and Bibles:

What if....

we carried it in our pockets or purses,

we turned back to go get it if we forgot it,

we flipped through it several times a day,

we used it to receive messages from the text,

we treated it like we couldn't live without it,

we gave it to our children as gifts,

we used it as we traveled,

we used it in case of an emergency.

Unlike our phones, we don't ever have to worry about our Blbles being disconnected, because Jesus already paid the bill!!

I also read two poems by Edgar Guest:

Education

My Goals 

(You can do a search for these online).

Please enjoy your time at home while you listen today:

Also, Bibles from World Bible School have the soft flexibinding that has the texture of leather .
