GIVING THANKS, Oct. 2021
Happy October Knitters and Needleworkers! I hope everyone is enjoying the beauty of Autumn.
Next to Spring, Autumn is my favorite time of year. Cooler evenings call for cozy sweaters and jackets, turkey dinners with pumpkin pie, and nesting in your home.
The hardest thing for me at this time of year is letting go of my little garden. Day by day I trim away more spent flowers and foliage and hope that the garden will last another week, another day, before the trimmings are added to the compost pile to nourish future gardens.
Savor these magical Autumn days. Enjoy this Haiku by Christopher Herold:

Spring is here!
Happy Spring everyone! The city has come to life with daffodil, tulip, cherry tree and magnolia blossoms everywhere. It is a welcome sight after what seemed to be a long winter. I hope you and your family are keeping well. Make sure you get out in nature; it is a great place to get grounded and reflect on what has been a challenging year of Covid. Don't forget about self-care and take some time to reflect on what you are grateful for and what brings you joy.

Welcome
Welcome to Button and Needlework Boutique, I'm glad you found us!
Autumn 2020
This pandemic has been a challenge but we will get back to dinners out with friends, family gatherings, social outings, and in-person classes.
Try to embrace this time to re-group, re-evaluate, and reclaim those things you have always wanted to do but never found the time; those things you continually put off.
Do the activities that give your strength, take your mind off the everyday challenges this pandemic presents, and commit to some self care. It is important, especially now. You could:
-Take a virtual yoga or art class
-Clear your mind by taking a long walk in nature
-Try some knitting or stitching "meditation"
-Clear some clutter from your home
-bake something delicious that reminds you of your childhood
Be positive and empowered. Be truly present everyday. You'd be amazed at all the beauty that surrounds you.
