This is my favorite kind of sewing. I learned to sew by pattern, but just as I learned to cook from recipes, I enjoy dumping and going by feel when cooking something familiar. In her tutorials, she teaches the reader how to sew without a readymade pattern, and she does so in such an accessible and non overwhelming way.

Holly Mosier
“It was after I first began to uplift my thoughts a bit that my cravings for junk food started to dissipate. I did not connect the two at that time.

Dorothy L. Sayers
“The rule seemed to be that a great woman must either die unwed ... or find a still greater man to marry her. ... The great man, on the other hand, could marry where he liked, not being restricted to great women; indeed, it was often found sweet and commendable in him to choose a woman of no sort of greatness at all.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night

Aristotle
“It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.”
Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics and Politics

Jill Savage
“Margin is having the pace and space in your day to allow real life to happen. Too many of us run at a pace that is not only unhealthy physically but damaging relationally. We go-go-go, telling ourselves there are just not enough hours in the day, when we really need to be slowing down and enjoying the journey just as much as we anticipate enjoying the destination when we arrive.”
Jill Savage, No More Perfect Moms: Learn to Love Your Real Life
