"It is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied."
Nathaniel Hawthorne ~ The Marble Faun
Instead of knitting, a little hand sewing with morning tea ~ nice and relaxing and not far from the warmth of the woodstove.
It's the very cute Little House ornament found here.
