As I have been sitting here over the last week, stitching stitching stitching, I have reflected on how fortunate I am to have a job that I love doing so much. You sometimes hear wise people saying that you should never make your hobby into your job, because then it just becomes work.
My embroidery has never felt like work! It is fun. It is relaxing. It is slow and therefore gives me time to think, process and pray.
And all the while, it is still my job, so therefore I *have* to do it! 🙂
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.
St Benedict said “Laborare est orare” (to work is to pray) so you are in a very long-standing tradition!
Ooh, I like that! Thanks!
