Insomnia and Choo-Choo Charlie

 

Good and Plenty

I completed this tapestry on April 2, 2026.  The warp is some random wool, which was an unfortunate mistake and the weft is plastic bag strips.  I purchased the suspect cone of wool at The Scrap Exchange.  Only two bucks and worth every penny!  Three warp threads broke due to the high tension.  Lesson learned and Navajo wool warp ordered for the future.

Although, I do have a monster sweet tooth I do not like the candy pictured above - Good and Plenty.  The name of this piece requires some explanation.  A combination of insomnia and word finding issues were the culprits.

I was trying to pray for specific people and needs.  What I wanted to say in prayer silently in my head and heart was that they would have grace sufficient to meet their every need.  All I could think of was a prayer for good and plenty of it. 

I am okay with that, praying for good things and plenty of them for the people in my life works for me.

Life is hard for many right now.  It can be difficult to maintain a hopeful outlook.  Nice to know when my words aren't wording, God knows my heart.

By the way,  fun fact- Good and Plenty's original name was Choo-Choo Charlie.  It is the oldest American candy and has been in continuous production since 1893.   Be well and stay ever hopeful.
