"from chaos...bring order and light"

A 1960's era trifle bowl transforms intoa pretty organizer for my vintage thread collection.

The journey continues...I am finding poetry and simple comfort in sorting and organizing
my (over) abundance of earthly phenomenon.

Hi Audra,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the kind words, as always! My goal for this week is to sort...declutter...and organize my sewing armoire. It's funny how relaxing this is...and I can implement my "movie watching technique" at the same time.
Love from,
Tracey

have you ever wondered why us girls like those old spools of thread?
ReplyDeleteI too hope you are finding comfort in your loss. I know how comforting organizing a sewing area can be. May you also find comfort in His arms. Hugs and love dear friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Dana, What a great question!! I have no idea but they absolutely make my heart go twitter~pat when I see them. Because of this my collection is far too large. The upside is that, barring the occasional age~weakened threads, most of this collection is usable!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Tracey

Carol, how right you are regarding the comfort found in organizing our sewing area. I suppose it has much to do with letting go of what we have no control over and exerting influence over those areas, however minute, that we have a bit of power.
Love,
Tracey

I love that photo! A very clever way to display beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteI found a little poem that I thought might express some of my thoughts for you....
ReplyDeleteRemembrance
David Robert Brooks
When I am gone,
Please remember me;
as a heartfelt laugh, as a tenderness.
Hold fast to the image of me
when my soul was on fire;
the light of love shining through my eyes…
Remember me when I was singing and seemed to know my way.
Remember always when we were together and time stood still.
Remember most not what I did,
or who I was...
Oh please remember me for what I always desired to be...
A smile on the face of God.
take care..
What a perky colorful Spring display. I happily got my hands on some old wood spools. I like using the empty ones for those little pieces of left over ribbons.
ReplyDeleteThank you Christy! I agree...the colors are too pretty to hide!

Thanks so much Cinnamon! I have to tell you that your recent post really got me to thinking about the rules of marriage! Of course, your posts always have a way of provoking thought!
