I just had to let you know how much ...Dear Julie, <br /> I just had to let you know how much I enjoyed this post. It touched me in many ways. My grandma also sewed on a beautiful old Singer. Sadly it was stolen. Your Great Grandma is lovely. She has a gentleness in her countenance, but also looks like she enjoyed a good laugh! Your work is absolutely beautiful! I would love to try this technique when I get a little more brave!<br /><br /> I also very much appreciate your comment about modesty. To me this includes manners. SO many today don't even say thank you when given a compliment. I don't mean shy or introverted, but arrogant and having an over inflated opinion of ones self. I think it's a great topic!!Home and Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903206414255201889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126297807687367644.post-74802840454589721422010-05-18T22:57:53.885-07:002010-05-18T22:57:53.885-07:00Hi Julie,

You can just tell that she was the matriarch, ya know? :-)<br /><br />I could not agree with you more about modesty. I just watched Miley Cyrus, dressed and acting like a hooker on DWTS. How much better she would have looked with a few more clothes on!<br /><br />AnneAnne Loryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586805595011675799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126297807687367644.post-10136567570386432392010-05-18T21:46:54.064-07:002010-05-18T21:46:54.064-07:00Hi Julie, I am sure California is beautiful this t...Hi Julie, I am sure California is beautiful this time of year. Oh how I would love to hike through the woods with you on one of those field trips. :) Your cards are always beautiful. Adding sewing to the mix will only make them moreso. That first image does resemble your lovely grandmother. I totally agree with the modesty thing. When I look at some folks just on their outward appearance, I just say to myself "what were they thinking?" Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

I am a pioneer for my family the first LDS member My boys were baptised (all three) but sadly don't go any more I Hope I am not the last in this treck as it has been hard to get this far (no support from any friends family) only church members.

I am so excited to read about your views on modesty. I am shy by my own views on this subject and have never felt free to talk about them for fear they wouldn't be understood. This speaks to who I have always been. I will be sure and join in on Mondays! Thank you for another place to belong. I thought of your walks with the school children as I was driving home yesterday and saw a view that took my breath away. I am going to snap photos today to see if you agree. Thank you for being you, Julie!

I love what you did to your card; looks like you've been doing them for a long time. <br />Your great grandmother's singer machine and cabinet is beautiful. It looks like it may be model #15-66? The number is usually located just below the oval gold seal on the lower right front. It could mean it might be between 1930-1950. I can't be sure. I just bought a vintage Singer today. My plan is to install it into my treadle cabinet. <br />Anyway, thanks for sharing such a fabulous blog.Creative Grammiehttp://creativegrammie.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126297807687367644.post-14838652663550856132010-05-17T23:39:47.918-07:002010-05-17T23:39:47.918-07:00Oh Julie, I just adore this latest card.

I loved the picture of your gran and her sewing machine as well. MY nan had a treadle sewing machine. She would let me work the peddle sometimes. I felt very important when she did! I embrace modesty as well. It is getting very difficult to find clothng that is modest in the shops these days. They have very low fronts, or too short sleeves, or no sleeves, or transparent sleeves! Wish someone would design clothing for women with more modest tastes! You probably won't find this until you wake up, so have a Happy Day!! Sending lots of love your way! xxooMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126297807687367644.post-20140197253089288822010-05-17T23:26:44.368-07:002010-05-17T23:26:44.368-07:00Beautiful card!!!!Beautiful card!!!!stampqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170845463951642078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126297807687367644.post-50290559761132391722010-05-17T22:46:26.506-07:002010-05-17T22:46:26.506-07:00Your cards are so lovely.

I LOVE that. I have never tried sewing paper on my machine, although I have received some clever paper "envelopes" made from cute paper or Trader Joe's bags that have been stitched together. Your cards are so sweet! As far as modesty is concerned, I was blessed with a daughter who comes by it naturally. When we shopped for clothes when she was little, she didn't even want things that were sparkly on her shirts! Wish I could say I see that in the rest of our society {sigh}. I'll check out the blog that you mentioned!
