February 8th marks the day of celebration of our wonderful needle. To cyber-celebrate I am reposting a blessing written last year:
Bless these needles…
Thank you for the bounty they bring,
…the grace they spread,
... the joy they invoke,
... the loveliness they create,
... the beauty they convey,
... the memories they pass along
... and most importantly, for becoming an extension of my fingers to thread and cloth.
May they be blessed as well as everyone who employs a needle for the sake of NeedleArt.Bless these needles…
