Ahead

"There are far better things ahead 

than any we leave behind."

- C.S. Lewis

P.S. I chose my linen and threads for the Ever Blessed Stitch-Along...

Under Pressure

"When we long for life without difficulties,

remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds

and diamonds are made under pressure."

-Peter Marshall

Magic

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you 

because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. 

Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

- Roald Dahl

Tints

"The true harvest of my daily life

is somewhat as intangible and indescribable

as the tints of morning or evening.

It is a little star dust caught,

a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched."

~Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Antiquity

 "How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity

under roses and violets and morning dew!"

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
