Sewing

Not that I do much of it now,

nor have I ever.

Having said that,

I did have a sewing class

in 7th and 8th grade.

I think I learned more from Mom

than from poor Miss Miller.

Every once in a while

I will get a 

"bug up my butt"

to make something.

Normally,

it would be a jumper.

However,

i have been known

to  "whip up"

curtains when I

can't find what I want.

Nothing fancy,

just material

that I hem at the bottom,

make a channel 

for the rod at the top

and finish off the edges.

But,

I must admit 

that I did  

make Balloon Curtains

for my bedroom window.

LOVED them.

Would make them again

if, and when,

I ever have another

window that wide.

I have never been

the "neatest"

when it comes to

zippers or seams.

Mom would say,

"If some one is close

enough to see it,

they must be family

or you must be in love!"

So, 

or should I say

"sew,"

I keep that 

as my sewing motto.

"If you can see it,

it must be love"

and I don't care

if they see it or not.

It works for me :0}

Dear Lord,

Would you, someday, let me know who first decided to take some thread-like animal/plant part, stick it through a needle like bone or stick, and sew things together? I just think that would be so interesting to see how it was discovered and who figured it out.

It is a blessing to know that if I get a rip in something, or actually want to make something,m I can take out my sewing machine and know I will be able to fix/make what needs to be fixed/made.  

Amen
