Subject: Sisters

I Know some have received this message below in their emails.I wanted to post it here also,Because it made cry,and as I read it became clear how so very true it is...Sherrie
Subject: Sisters

A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day,drinking iced tea and visiting with her Mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance upon her daughter

'Don't forget your Sisters,' she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'They'll be more important as you get older.


No matter how much you love your husband,

no matter how much you love the children you may have, you are still going to need Sisters. Remember to go places with them now and then; do things with them.


''Remember that 'Sisters' means ALL the women...your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your other women relatives too. 'You'll need other women. Women always do.'What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman thought. Haven't I just gotten married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world?


I'm now a married woman, for goodness sake! A grown up! Surely my husband and the family we may start will be all I need to make my life worth while !'


But she listened to her Mother. She kept contact with her Sisters and made more women friends each year. As the years tumbled by, one after another,she gradually came to understand that her Mom really knew what she was talking about.


As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman,Sisters are the main stays of her life.After more than 50 years of living in this world, here is what I've learned:


THIS SAYS IT ALL:

Time passes.

Life happens.

Distance separates.

Children grow up.

Jobs come and go.

Love waxes and wanes.

Men don't do what they're supposed to do.

Hearts break.

Parents die.

Colleagues forget favors.

Careers end.BUT.........

Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you.

A girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach.


When you have to walk that lone some valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.


Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you...Or come in and carry you out.Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law,

Mothers,Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended family, all bless our life!


The world wouldn't be the same without women, would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead.


Nor did we know how much we would need each other.Every day, we need each other still.

Pass this onto all the women who help make your life meaningful.

Come On Join me in The fun with this FUN!! Aprond Swap!!!

Hot Drinks for Hot Mamas Apron Swap

I quote Valerie's rules
If you decide to play along, this is is what is required:
1. *Create an apron (half or full) for your partner. There are loads of fun fabrics out there with tea pots, mugs, drink glasses, coffee beans, tea cups, etc. on them.
If you can't find the right fabric, you could applique, embroider, etc. Add at least one embellishment.
*if you cannot sew but want to play along, you may purchase an apron from one of the crafty people on etsy.
No store bought aprons please, they are not considered hand crafted.
2. Choose 3 'little somethings' they will like to go along with the apron.
Be creative, this isn't about how much money you can spend.
It is about sending someone a little package with a few surprises.
Some ideas include: fun cocktail napkins, recipe variations of their favorite hot drink, a kitchen/tea towel, singles of hot cocoa, tea or coffee, a bookmark or gently used novel you know they'll like, a fun hot pad in the shape of a cup or mug....etc.
3. Wrap everything in tissue with a simple ribbon before mailing.Check out their blog for hints, you may make a new friend!Deadline to sign up: Sep. 25th. I will email everyone their partners within a day or 2 after closing.

Story about Grandma's Apron!

My Sweet friend Jackie of Plain and Simple http://plain-n-simpleblog.blogspot.com/
Knows how much I lOVE aprons and she was kind enought to send me the story about Grandma's Apron! Thank You Jackie!!
Aprons
I don't think kids today know what an apron is.
The principal use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath, but along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.

It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears .
From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.
When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids.
And when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her arms.
Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron.
From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls.
In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples or pecans that had fallen from the trees.
When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds.
When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.
It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that 'old-time apron' that served so many purposes.
REMEMBER: Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool.
Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill to thaw.
Today's generation would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron,
but I never heard about anyone catching anything from an Apron.

Technique of burnt brown paper bag


With Fall almost here I would like to give a Gold Nugget/Technique..This technique can be used for so many wonderful creations,I was thinking making Fall leaves..

I did NOT come up with this gold nugget . I have saved nuggets for years ...I do try to always get the author of them to give proper credit ...on this gold nugget I did not get the author. So sorry . If some one knows who the artists is please let me know so I can give proper credit.
Who Done it: Oh! I've seen this technique before...I think it was on the Alene's show (remember that back in the day on HGTV?) So I think it was either Alene or her daughter who thought this up
This is SO neat and SO interesting:
Technique of burnt brown paper bag
1. glue 2 pieces of brown bag (grocery bag is fine) together with Aleenes glue in the gold bottle. let dry for 1/2 hour or so..
2. cut the shape you want from this, spread one side with the glue, covering entire side, hold this side into a candle flame and let it burn...it will turn black and bubbly. this part is kind of tricky and could be dangerous if you aren't careful, if it flames a little that is okay, makes more depth to shape. I usually hold this piece with needle nose pliers. Repeat for other side of shape.

3. when finished with the burning, lightly rub off the soot with paper towel. I then usually take gold paint on my finger tip and lightly dab it to achieve a burnished look. I have seen them use different colors of paint to get different looks such as a patina finish, etc.

That's it !!! It really is foolproof - if you miss a spot in burning, you can go over it with more glue and re-burn. It might take some practice getting used to the burning of the glue but so far I haven't had any disasters. I like the look for stars or small wings, looks like tarnished gold or brass. Can look like rusted metal depending on the colors of paint you use.
Acrylic paints are used, by the way.
These will make beautiful leaves, butterflies, suns, moons, flowers too, because it can be gently shaped to give it dimension. All you need is a grocery bag!

Vintage Aging Tutorial

I'd like to share how I get a vintage aged look to my fabric. This is not a heavy aging or is it grunged..There is no coffee used in this aging method, There is a light clean smell of cinnamon and vanilla.
Just my own way of achieving a yesteryear look, Cloth that has been packed away for years and years.

Just a nice honey in color aged look . #1: Start In a large pan ,I used a dutch oven, Bring to boil Tea Bags use a good brand..(remember you get what you paid for :) I used Luzianna
#2: 12 Tea bags..fill pan 3/4 full with water...I do buy my Vanilla and Cinnamon at the dollar store and it works great...#3: Add Vanilla 3-4 Table Spoon..1/2 cup of Cinnamon
#4: Add your fabric.. Bring to a boil and then turn off heat. Let simmer about 30minutes.
*(If you want your fabric to be darker aged let steep in aging bath a hour or two)*

5: Using slit spoon remove from aging bath and place on to cookie sheet

#6: Run water in sink HOT and rinse fabric LIGHTLY

#7: Place fabric back on to cookie and then place in a pre-heated 250 oven NEVER LEAVE fabric while in oven..It will burn.. Turn fabric several times while in oven to keep from getting burned marks!! When fabric is still lightly damp remove from oven

#8: This is what it will look like.. See the Cinnamon that has dried on to the fabric.


#9: Now take a terry cloth towel and wrap it around your finger rubbing the Cinnamon into the fabric and also off the fabric as you go. #10: Now steam iron fabric dry #11: Here is the end results, Perfectly vintage aged fabric..

See the regular muslin..this is what it looked like before aging and the darker is after aging..This is the SAME cloth..This is what I use for my doll body's..

Perfectly vintage aged fabric..That smells fresh and clean too. #12: This picture shows you both sides of the printed fabric

This fabric is what I will use to dress my dolls...

*NOTE*: you will be saving your aging liquid after your finished with it in a container in the refrigerator ...Be sure to remove the tea bags first. Just bring to boil again when needed. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, If you have any question just email me or leave a comment...Hugs to all Sherrie

Awww Fall is in the air at least in my sewing room!!!!

Fall is here at least in my sewing room! Not out side in the Florida Hot Heat! Whoa
Today I brought out all my fall decorations and i got creative with this 32 inch
Fall gonna be Girl ?? Boy?? Haven't decided yet. I do know this will be so very special and I'm anxiously waiting to trying a couple new techniques! Running through my mind of how I'm going to dress and embellish!! There is nothing like creating! its really neat how you can turn off worries and troubles when you just sit down and start to create. It makes you count your blessing and seeing How God is at work in our lives.
I was thinking today how creating is really a outlet, It really is a healing doing any type of hobbie whether it is sewing or counted cross stitch or knitting ,it is the creating thats so good for us! I found my body relaxing, and my thoughts were positive and creative, My faith was re-newed.Which made me have peace and joy and I felt strengthened. All our Arts are truly God given!
The last 3 weeks have been kinda stressful, my husband was having neck pain , then the ole muscles knotted up and he has been really in pain.They did a MRI ,Found out he has 3 bulging disks in his neck. Our SILLY doctor basically told us nothing can be done.It's just some thing he would have to live with.and then sent Gene for physical therapy,
Whoa that really set his ole muscles into even worse spasms, He has the burning tingling in his arms because the muscles are so tight their pressing on nerves...Gene has been taking prescription strength motrin and no relief from the inflammation. I'm blessed with a awesome husband and he is my best friend, but he doesn't take aches and pains very well and to have a doctor say to a person like this " Just live with it",
Thats just not the right thing to say!

I got so ticked off about all this... as nice as I could be ...I called the doctors office back and literally said to them to call the pharmacy and I would like for my husband to have a muscle relaxant ,they called in Noraflex.After several days and still no relief ... I called again today and ask for mild pain medication,
I mean my husband has to work!
It's ridiculous when you have to call your own doctor and tell him what to prescribe. so i cancled Gene's physical therapy, and did some reasearch about getting a new doctor , One that cares would be nice! So we both have an appointment at a new doctor Oct 6th. I am just praying these medications will help Gene's muscles to relax and get better be fore we see the new doctor in oct. that seems so far away.and it has been going on now 3 weeks..
#1: I will continue to stand in faith and believe for God's healing for my husband..
#2: I have lined up just a couple Fall goodies, again I 'm so Thankful to God for the love he has given me to create! I am excited about Fall and the goodies I'm making .So much that I even dream of some thing I want to make and can't wait to get going on it!!!!
Awww Fall is in the air at least in my sewing room!!!!
