Proverbs 31:12
She gathers wool and flax and works with eager hands
I survived using a needle and thread. I may even have the gumption to try it again. Of course, I had the lure of hot-gluing an old clip-on earring, to get me through to the end of the “sewing”.
I used a 4-leaf Clover shaped Yo-Yo guide to make the wool pin. Yeah, I didn’t know what that was until I bought it. It’s basically a piece of plastic that the fabric snaps into as a guide for thread stitches. A lot of knotting, pulling and clipping was involved.
I love it pinned onto my denim purse.
Love,
Jess

Shopping
I “gathered” wool from Mill End Factory Outlet. I looked for felt fabric that I loved, but I guess modern felt is made of 100% Acrylic. So, I purchased a yard of Ralph Lauren wool from the remnant pile. Beats finding a sheep to sheer, no?
I picked up a box of flax seeds from the grocery store. Thanks to my Mom I figured out that flax is all over the place in the health foods niche. Nice. I guess I’ve spend too much time buying Jell-O and non-dairy coffee creamer to notice.
Anyway, let my eager hands work!
I’m thinking muffins with flax and some sort of accessory with the wool.
I had to literally buy thread and needles to even entertain the idea of making something with fabric. Plus, do flax muffins taste like cardboard?
We’ll see how it goes!
Love,
Jess
