"Words aptly spoken are like apples of gold in settings of silver."
I want to stay reminded of the power of words, how the right ones can be like giving someone the treasure of gold and silver. And I've had many lovely words of encouragement spoken over me recently.
So as I thought of what to make a friend from church, who has greatly encouraged me, this proverb became my inspiration.
My trusty Irish linen was pulled out again, and for some reason I really wanted a square tree to house my golden apple!
What moto are you living by this year?
Jude xo
now that's so totally wonderfully adorable, Judith. It's perfect, love the golden apple on a square tree,too.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful gift, wise words, and as always - I am envious of your skills to write letters with your machine.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful....you are so talented. As for me I'm very much a "live and let live" kind of girl, along with my Nan's maxim that you should try to live your life as a Mrs Do-As-You-Would-Be-Done-By.......fairly tricky on lots of days!! xx
ReplyDeleteLove this Judith. you are so thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteThat is one thoughtful and meaningful gift. It brought a tear to my eye as it really struck a note with me. Di x
ReplyDeleteMy handwriting isn't even that best never mind machine writing!! I'm not very good at free motion!! It's wonderful to have good friends isn't it x
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely and thoughtful gift. I'm sure your friend will love it. One quote that I really like is "Someday. That's a dangerous word....It's really just a code for never" from the film Knight & Day - not particularly high-brow but really grabbed me when I heard it!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words and a stunning gift!
ReplyDeleteYou are the cutest, most thoughtful person. Wonderful gift, J.
ReplyDeleteI love that verse too. Any gift from you is special... as I know. Whoever is the recipient will love it.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's gorgeous! you're such a lovely friend, I bet your church friend is as pleased to have you as you are to have her.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Encouragement is to be greatly valued. Love your interpretation of the scripture in fabric.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea :o)

ReplyDeleteSo lovely, Judith! Proverb and project alike. Love those wee mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift Judith
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful. I don't have a motto for the year, but my word is RELAX as I am trying not to be so stressed out with things. According to my husband I am not doing too well with it so far.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea!
