New Sewing Projects

So....I went to Joann Fabrics and bought some fabric. Too much fabric (wait a minute, you cant have too much) Anyway I now have a list of projects I need to get done

• Sewing aprons for dd and myself
• Pajama pants for dh and ds
• Ribbon blanket and burp cloths for a friends new baby
• Skirts and tops for dd and myself
• Superhero cape for ds

I also need to knit a baby hat.

I will post pics of my projects as I start them!

Sewing a Apron

This is the very first thing I have sewed following a pattern. Everything before this was just squares put together. This apron was made for a friend through a apron swap.

Ok, then I got excited and kept sewing and didnt take any pics till I had the pockets done and sewed onto the apron

Thanks for looking!

I am blessed by God

Its been awhile.....a long while, almost a year. And what a interesting year it has been. We have had many, many blessing this past year and I can see the Lords hand in it all. We've also had some financial difficulty that I thought was behind us. Well, its still here. Were trying to figure where God wants us in the big ol' world. Im trying to stop being such a control freak and let my husband take the lead.

Honestly though for some reason Im afraid that when he does lead it will cost me the most. It will cost me my (false) sense of security and my comfort zone. Probably some material comforts and possessions as well. But ya know what? I have a beautiful healthy family, and nothing else should really matter. In the big scope of life our houses, cars and possessions dont matter, just people. And my kids will be happy no matter where we are.

I have watched a number of ladies that I am blessed enough to call friends go through heart breaking losses of thier children. That really puts things in perspective. I have all my children here with me. Its time to stop sweating the small stuff. I am blessed

In this new year I am going to stop sweating the small stuff. And everything is small stuff.
