Deep within your hallowed heart,
Beats blood of truest red.
Poured out for me, you gave your life,
Whispering words of love instead.
Love, Life, and the Art of Sewing
There definitely is an art to sewing as I’ve discovered over the last several months. Having plunged myself into the craft and immersed myself amidst colorful threads and fabrics, I’ve found myself treading in a vast ocean of amazing possibilities. Who knew that so many things could be created by one small machine? Of course, I’m still a newbie so my prospects are fairly limited, but my vision and goals are not. 🙂 And so, I enjoying splashing around as I kick about new ideas, patterns, and projects.

And so an idea was birthed and “sweetheart” was born, named for the four sweethearts in my life; my three children and husband. 🙂
The name “sweetheart” is fun-loving and whimsical in its definition. It is an endearing expression of love and affection. But for me it also represents an even deeper message.
I believe that above all things, the greatest gift we can give to another person is the gift of God’s love. If only we could see each other as God sees us, as worth far more than rubies and as being more precious than jewels. And yet, as I think that thought, I have a blossoming awareness of the irony behind His expression of love. For the ruby droplets of blood that He shed for us are to us a living river of life and representative of the greatest love story of all times. Afterall, greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
You won my heart with great aplomb,
Ransomed my very soul.
Repaired the very heart of me.
Jesus you made me whole.
