The Lord is good to all:  and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord;  and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,  and talk of thy power. - Psalm 145:10 - 11 - All creatures of our God and King Lift up your voice and with us sing, Alleluia! Alleluia! Thou burning sun with golden beam, Thou silver moon with softer gleam! O praise Him! O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Thou rushing wind that art so strong Ye clouds that sail in Heaven along, O praise Him! Alleluia! Thou rising moon, in praise rejoice, Ye lights of evening, find a voice! O praise Him! O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Thou flowing water, pure and clear, Make music for thy Lord to hear, O praise Him! Alleluia! Thou fire so masterful and bright, That givest man both warmth and light. O praise Him! O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Dear mother earth, who day by day Unfoldest blessings on our way, O prai...

Tea Cozy Tutorial and Last Chance To Sign Up For The Tea Cup and Mug Exchange

Image
A very cheery hello to you, my lovelies! Today I have an oh-so-fun tea cozy tutorial that you can whip up in less than an hour. Now, shall we do a little sewing. . . Here is what you will need: two fat quarters batting Yep, that's it! Of course you'll need a sewing machine, scissors, thread, measuring tools and so on, but you already knew that :) Let's get started, my friends. Choose your two contrasting fat quarters. Fold the fabric in half and use a large plate to trace the top part. The plate gives a nice round top. Then you will simply draw straight lines down the side. This is what my handmade template looks like :) It is 12-inches wide and 9 1/2-inches long which is perfect for a 4-6 cup tea pot. You can adjust your measurements to the size of your tea pot.

Beautifully Sewn By Prairie Rose Sewing

Image
A very happy Wednesday to you, friends! How are you on this lovely day of September? Today I have some delightful goodies to show you that were handmade by my dear friend Sarah. Sarah has her own Etsy shop Prairie Rose Sewing  where she sells modest clothing,  handmade items such as quilts and wooden toys, and vintage delights like tea cups and beautiful china. I mentioned to Sarah that I had a pattern for a skirt that I would never get around to making so I asked if she would be interested in sewing one. . .or three for me. She graciously said yes - what a dear! I picked out the fabric, took my measurements, and sent everything her way. This sweet floral print is perfect for summer. Next up is this darling sunflower print that shouts out autumn. And the third skirt has lovely little dandelion puffs all over it. I must confess that I am in love with this one. A year ago Sarah made me a beautiful dress which you can find HERE. Sarah does beautiful work and you can tell she puts...
