This machine is love. I love the sound it makes when it’s sewing simple stitches. I love the light that shines on the inside. I love the light that shines on my inside when I’m using this machine. I love the friends this machine has brought me. I love the “thank you’s” this machine has brought me. I love that this machine was once used by my husband’s grandma ♥. I love the stories it’s told, the things it’s made, the journey it’s taken me on…
I love that you read my blog. I love that you comment, that you contact, that we connect. I love that this blog has helped me quit my day job to follow my dream. I love that this is my first Christmas as an indie business owner {quick skip around the house}. I secretly love that I figured this out at age 24…
I love that I can be at home more and that it’s helped us be able to adopt a puppy. I love that my schedule is flexible, that sewing allows me to be a hard worker, that I never stop making lists/thinking and planning/dreaming…
My love for this sewing machine is a whimsical illustration of how listening to your thoughts can allow unforeseen blessings be stitched. Because when I decided I was going to learn how to sew I had no clue any of this could exist, yet I trusted “if there’s a will, there’s a way”…
Psalm 62:8
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah.
Oh, Maggie, I love your sentiments here. I’ve recently been asked by a friend to help her fill orders for children’s clothing. Sitting at my machine has given me new purpose right now. I love that feeling. You’ve described it so well. Being industrious and loving what you do is an awesome gift. Be blessed (Have you named your machine?)
Thank you so much for this post. I have been sewing for several years now and have been wanting for it to be my “job” for quite some time. God has allowed the perfect timing or the perfect “things” for me to sell yet. I love to see that this dream is coming true for others and hope & pray it will for me as well soon!
What a wonderful post!! So suitable for thanksgiving! Used by your husband’s grandmother? Wow!! How special!
I love that you love the machine for more than what it is.. For what it brings you and others! Who knew a little machine could bring such joy to hundreds! God is so good :)
Because of this machine I was introduced to you and for that I am incredibly thankful. You are an inspiration and blessing to so many. Thank you for taking chances, following your dream, and allowing us to be on the journey with you.
Much love.

Maggie, you are SUCH an inspiration. Seriously. We love you! {{{hugs}}}
I love/YOU, and am so thankful God chose you to be my daughter-in-law and to love Zack,like I have from the minute he was born, and that I could be a small part in the learning to sew process all those years ago when we made the t-shirt quilt and that you are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside. xoxoxo
{hugs} thanks for sharing your inspirational story. I’m so happy for you!

Your story is such an inspiration. I’m currently in massive personal & professional turmoil – no idea what comes next & no safety net. When will it be my time to jump & do what I love? Thanks for continuing to inspire people like me & remind us that dreams are worth doing.
I am so encouraged by you and your story. Your humility always shines through. I’m trying to find that dream that God wants me to pursue.
You. inspire. me. – period. – Thank you.

I love that I’ve found your blog! You are truly an inspiration to me! I haven’t been around here long, but I can already see the joy and passion you have! It just bubbles over! You give me hope that my dreams can come true! Thanks for sharing Psalm 62:8!

We just got home from our Disney vacation yesterday and Im already in the mood for Christmas decorating…getting out my beloved WillowTree Nativity, decorating the tree together as a family, playing Christmas carols…ahhhhhhh, pure heaven.
Have a wonderful day:)
