Sewing Manna

I went to the thrift store Wednesday morning after the dentist. I found all this. I was looking for an apron pattern. Out of this huge box of patterns three patterns fell out when I lifted it down to my eye level the only apron pattern in the box fell out onto the floor before me! so cool. (.29) cents a pattern!

I came home with a gold mind of a find. Someone had donated all this fabric! I stumbled upon it!
Look at that baby blue silk!

I will make covers (Got a pattern now for it) for the surger and sewing machine. out of the pillow block print.

can you believe this yardage!

In total I think around 38 yards!
That thick pile of blue and white flannel (soft 100% cotton light weight flannel) A night gown for me :)

For around $28.00 !!!!!!!!! Wow! so... you may say, where you gonna put all that fabric Donetta? Under the presser foot of course!

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
