Abundant Fabric gifts and purchace.

Sandi gave me that beautiful pastel block print fabric many yards in it. It is rather heavy fabric calls for some special project. I have pants to make for Dash. My skinny tall boy. Beauty had prayed for some cow print back when we made that puppy. See the monkey socks. I'll make the kids some monkeys for Christmas. The stripe I got for $1 yard for t shirts for the kids. That yummy Pink in the background calls for an Apron for me! :).. The plaids will be great for a winter dress for Beauty. It has a nice matching solid blue. Thank you Jaye.

The Pastel green and print are so perfect altogether $1. yard. For a quilt maybe or a nice PJ.
The beautiful blue (upper left for dresses for me:)

There is a Ginger bread house, and several of the house blocks and fish blocks. The o'ld school house sacks are too cute! I might make some new kitchen towels.

Wow! the fabric you see here is mostly gifted to me by "Just a mom" Jaye. She and her buddy Sandi have been quilting up a storm. I went over for a visit and came home with a large part of this. Some of it I got at Wal-,mart for $1-$2 per yard. Put the greatest of it came home from Jaye's. See the pretty picture she gave me too.

Jaye had cut out pads for high chairs I see aprons!
Well I am off to a hot iron and a fun time sewing.
Enjoy your day.

By Maya Angelou

'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"
