Sun Bonnet Sue

Hello Dear Friends,
Where oh, where is the time going?
It is JUNE!
I don't know where May went to.
She slipped away before I realized it was time.

I just love Sun Bonnet Sue

I have had these kitchen towels for quite sometime.

They were ready to be stitched.

I found the towels at JoAnn's. 

 I love the red trim on the edges.

Perfect for some Red Work.

These are the Homemaking Chores we do each week.

Wash Day.  

Remember when we would hand our laundry out on the 

clothes lines.  I love to dry my laundry on clothes lines.

I don't have lines where I live now.  

But my home on Upland had clothes lines. 

 I loved the smell and the feel of bed sheets, and towels

and even my clothes that have been dried outdoors.

Cleaning Day.

The day when we give the house a good cleaning.

Vacuum, dust, mop floors, clean windows.  Make sure to have

Clean sheets on the beds.  And bathrooms have to be spotless.

I like cleaning day.  

I believe it is a great honor to keep my home and my

surroundings in clean order.  

I think at some point in our society many people

did not learn to take care of their homes.  It saddens me

to see cluttered, messy homes.  

And yards that are not well tended.

I am thankful I was taught to take care of my home.  

Homemaking is an Art

Market Day.

The day I do my grocery shopping.

I try to do my errands around town on the same day I

grocery shop. 

Sunday

My very favorite day of the week.

A day to rest from our labors.

I love to worship God, and to sing the church hymns.

Studying my scriptures, and learning of my Savior is such

a reverent sacred time for me.

Prayers, partaking of the Sacrament, all of these things 

make me happy on Sunday.

Isn't Sun Bonnet Sue a sweet little lady.

She has always been one of my favorites.

I usually just use these towels for decoration.

I enjoy doing embroidery work.  

And a lot of work goes into

making these beautiful towels.

Now I am doing a counted cross stitch. . 

I can't wait to show it to you.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my Sun Bonnet Sue

Please do come back again.

Remember to enjoy the Art of Homemaking.

We should all be joyfully engaged in making 

our little part of the world a beautiful place.  

Our homes should be a place of happiness,

cleanliness, and friendship to all that enter.
