I pray this newsletter will bless many and that y’all would come better acquainted with my little business (and myself) with some encouragement, and fun little things in the process.

So sit back, have a cup of tea (or another warm beverage you prefer) and pray you will enjoy this newsletter!

Much love and blessings,

PS. This newsletter and (Lord willing) as other issues are done, I will be putting the links to them on my side bar in a page called “Newsletter Issues” so you can view newer or older issues as they come about!

Dear Readers Welcome!

This is when on every other Tuesday I post a song that I and my mother or the whole family enjoy listening to!

You can read more about why I started it HERE!

Here is a song From Sovereign Grace Ministries Album “Come Weary Saints” that is so uplifting to listen to when we are feeling down and in need of some refreshing music to calm the soul!

Hide Away In The Love Of Jesus

Come, weary saints, though tired and weak
Hide away in the love of Jesus
Your strength will return by His quiet streams
Hide away in the love of Jesus

Come, wandering souls, and find your home
Hide away in the love of Jesus
He offers the rest that you yearn to know
Hide away in the love of Jesus
BRIDGE Hear Him calling your name
See the depths of His love
In the wounds of His grace

Come, guilty ones weighed down with sin
Hide away in the love of Jesus
The freedom you long for is found in Him
Hide away in the love of Jesus

Come, hopeless hearts, do not despair
Hide away in the love of Jesus
For ten thousand joys await you there
Hide away in the love of Jesus

(I wish I could find a good video for this song to share with y’all, but unfortunately there was none for this one! )

I would highly recommend the entire album as the whole CD is a compilation of songs to encourage Christians in their walk as they go through various trials in their lives and it is so refreshing to listen to! *happy sigh*

I hoped you enjoyed this song! (I am humming it as I type this )

Till next time, grace and peace to you my dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Here are a couple samples of my work

( you can also see more photos HERE and HERE!):

I am selling these lovely hankies for $20 and I make sure lots of love and care goes into each one!

So head on over to my Etsy Shop (which is also located on the side of our blog) and look around! if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and I would be happy to answer!

Have a blessed Lord’s Day tomorrow!

Love in Christ,

I always look forward to spring, especially after the winter we had this year (yes, California did have a winter this year! YAY)!  These changing in the seasons always remind me of the verse Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:   A time to be born, and a time to die;

a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;  a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to morn, and a time to dance;  a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;

a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;  a time to seek, and a time to loose;  a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

a time to tear, and a time to sew;  a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;  a time of love, and a time of hate;

a time of war, and a time for peace.”

It was also refreshing to hear Mrs. Botkin reading it aloud as well, while my mother and I where listening to the “Evenings with Victoria Botkin” as it started this Monday!  My mother and I cannot wait till next Monday to hear her speak, it has been so encouraging to both of us!

Also with the changing of the seasons, I will be slowly adding a few things to my web-site/etsy shop!  I have already added one new item:

The crocheted All-Puropse Wash Cloth!

These hand-made crocheted cloths (made by my myself, or my mother)are the perfect cloth for many uses from washing dishes, to cleaning your face and body! Now that I use them, I cannot live without them! I sell them in color-coordinated sets of two and each have a beautiful scalloped edge to give it a pretty look!

Here are a couple photos of them below!

Feel free to stop by my shop HERE or on the side of our blog!

If you do not wish to buy through my shop, or would like to be added to my mailing list, feel free to e-mail me at : mail(at)practicalsimplicity(dot)com!

Blessings in Christ,

I just LOVE the colors, and (believe it or not) this used to be a plain man’s hankie, I just hand sewed lace around the edge and this lovely monogram in one of the corners! The embroidery was very simple and easy! You can find the whole alphabet in this lovely pattern HERE and it is FREE!!!!  YAY!

I think the back looks quite well too!

I hope you enjoyed the photos of my project!  Let me know how you liked it, I LOVE hearing what ya’ll have to say! Hope ya’ll have a blessed Lord’s day tomorrow!

Blessings in Christ,

I hope you all enjoy it!   And if you have a photo blog, let me know about it and I just might add yours to my photo blog roll!

Grace and Peace,

I am getting ready to make one for myself, then make matching jumpers for both my mom and I!  I REALLY like this pattern a lot!  If you are interested in this pattern, I bought it at this wonderful (Christian owned) family run online store called “Marie Madeline Studio” and you can see the jumper pattern HERE!

Thank you so much Long ladies for this wonderful pattern, I know my mom and I LOVE it!

Grace and peace,

Miss. Antoinette K.

My grandmother that taught me how to sew ever since I was 5 years old, just surprised me with her 1964 white Featherweight Singer sewing machine that was given to her by an “uncle” after a relative passed way years ago!  She never used it, so she gave it to ME!!! YAY!  I am so happy, I cannot wait to use it and it is in such good condition! I am getting ready to sew an apron, but want to wait till I can use my new toy!

Well I just thought I would share my excitement with you all!

Blessings,

Antoinette
