Have you ever noticed a button hanging loosely by a few threads?
Then you cannot find a needle or thread and a thimble?
Thus the old adage “A stitch in time saves nine.”
This is a photo of a few Thimble Hats that I have made.
How many of you have needed a thimble or needle and could not find it?
I always recommend that the Thimble Hat be placed beside your favorite chair where you would sit to sew on a button or do a small mending job.
These hats have the dual purpose of holding a thimble and a few needles.
In addition when I gift someone with the Thimble Hat I also give them the poem I wrote which has an added purpose of having the Thimble Hat close by.
The most important task is that of reading the Word of God daily and keeping it close by.
The Scripture that goes with the “One Word” is in the poem I wrote in the photo below.
“The Thimble Hat and The Book”
The thimble hat & the book i made this little thimble hat with lots of love and prayer just for you on this special day for your mending, so beware!
Now don’t put this in a hiding place
So you can’t find it in a hurry or you will lose that pretty button and cause lots of worry.
If you put it on a little shelf or hang it up somewhere
You will never have to look again for a needle for repairs.
So as i send this little gift i pray that you will know
That the word of god needs to be in a place where it will show
Then when you have a special need you’ll know right where to look to seek wisdom from above and find peace in the “Book”.
Isaiah 26:3-4 “He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in him, whose thoughts turn often to the Lord. Trust in the Lord God always, for in the Lord Jehovah is your everlasting strength.” LB
