years."

Our newest kits!
Think on These Things  Taken from Philippians 4:8, this sampler speaks volumes about what we should allow our minds to think (meditate) upon. Did you know that God's word puts boundaries on what we can and should think about? Here is the list: things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and things full of virtue and praise. These virtues are cleverly worked into the scroll work of this new pattern. $48.00 order here

 

Attention home schooling families! Looking for handiwork for your unit studies? The Victorian era is a fascinating time to explore! The virtues of tea and piety are still enjoyed today! Our kits provide an easy, hands-on project to complement your history lesson. Women of the past who may have enjoyed Punched Paper Embroidery include Laura Ingalls Wilder, Louisa May Alcott and Lucy Maud Montgomery. Even if your daughters heroines are fictional, like Elsie Dinsmore, Anne Shirley and Dianna Barry, or our kits are period appropriate. Our kits have also been used successfully  for young ladies involved in church youth ministries, and Keepers at Home Groups.
