“The humblest of tasks get beautified if loving hands do them.”-Louisa May Alcott
Stitch-by-stitch, the discarded becomes a small treasure. No machines. Only love.

I’m listening.
When I listen to you, I hear your colors. I hear your textures. I hear your patterns speak of the character that lies within you. Stitch-by-stitch, I will preserve what made you special.
