Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence.

This is the current project in the hoop. Take a look at the spool of thread. A rubberband will keep your tail of thread from unwinding and making a mess. I have been using this trick for years and came up with it as a fluke.

This box was a gift from a secret sister several years ago. It is one of my favorites with the pin cushion on top and plenty of storage. It is very beautiful.

And last....two moe little finds. The pitcher will be a Saturday morning pitcher for syrup, just the right size. I believe the bowl will sit on the table next to my rocker to catch threads.
