Gadget of the day, word of the day


Gadget of the day:
Your Word is "Peace"


You see life as precious, and you wish everyone was safe, happy, and taken care of.
Social justice, human rights, and peace for all nations are all important to you.

While you can't stop war, you try to be as calm and compassionate as possible in your everyday life.
You promote harmony and cooperation. You're always willing to meet someone a little more than halfway.

How neat that so many of the sewing bloggers' word is peace. It's good to know there are so many peace making people out there. I read bck through several of your osts. How many children do you have?
I noticed that one son has CP. We have a 22 year old niece who has CP. She has never walked, but has had a wonderful life so far. Thankfully her parents are the type to be able to handle stress and difficulties very well. They also fought a lot for the education opportunities for her.
I pray that your son has as many opportunities and that God will give you the strength that you will need to handle any adversity you may confront with his condition.
I sew ostly for children.

I have just recently found your blog. I sew for children too.
I think it's really neat that so many bloggers' word is peace. Mine is love. We need lots of peace loving and peace making people in this crazy world.
I noticed in one of your posts that you have a son with CP. We have a 23 year old niece with CP. She has never walked, but because her parents worked so diligently with her and for her she has done well. She's a very smart and sweet young lady. Her mom, in particular, was a real advocate for opportunities for her education and activities.

Is it oppressive?

Not much sewing going on here, but I have been cruising the internet more than usual and was not feeling well today. I came across a post on a blog today (Gertie) about whether vintage clothes are oppressive, going backwards. I do not think this at all, I think it is individuality, flattering and enhancing the feminine look, wishing for simpler life and times, and probably other ideas out there. I also believe men and women are different, but capable of being equals in various ways, but there are things that are inherently male and female. Different but equal. And have no problem with dressing up the physical to be attractive. Not to the extreme, but to look neat, appropriately dressed, made-up. I am not a feminist in the traditional sense, I am a stay at home mom with kids. I believe the differences are good. Now, I do believe in equal pay for equal work, but does that mean I want to do the heavy industrial physical work? No, but I know some women will and can. If they are c...

Post a comment and I will draw this weekend. And to last weeks', now I have your info & they will go out tomorrow. At this rate, I may thin my stash quicker than I thought. Once my kids go back to school, I may go through the fabric stash and make little scrap bags for quilting scraps for giveaways. On the home sewing front, I was able to get one top put together for daughter and the second is also sewn together. Both need bias tape finishing (handwork) which can be done in the evening in front of the TV. Maybe tomorrow I will get the remaining pants cut out, bringing her total to a possible 5 pairs of capri/shorts for school...
