Thankful Thrusday

Last night through the shadow of the haunting pain of my back
I was able to really enjoy myself at the sewing machine.
There will be a tutorial over at A Place to Create soon.

This I am thankful for
that I am physically able to set to task with the skills gained and talents given.

We have our abilities to be used.

It is a terrible thing for those who suffer with skills that they are physically unable make use of them.

Do this day what you are ABLE to do with the cheer within your heart.

That we are able to do it.

Ephesians 2:10 (New International Version)

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Exodus 31:6
Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you:

Exodus 28:6
[ The Ephod ] "Make the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen—the work of a skilled craftsman

and works with eager hands.

¹⁷ She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.

and her lamp does not go out at night.

¹⁹ In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

²⁰ She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.

²¹ When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

²² She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

These beads have been around for a long while There were just enough to create a look I was after here. I really love beads of course you all probably already know that about me.

That red fabric was from the home school days.

I used to read a cute book to Dove when she was three or so.

The Bellveiw Hotel

The guest received the red carpet treatment .

The carpet got out of control and rolled right to the dock.

Dove wished she could walk on a red carpet so I made her one.

That is why this was so simple it was already hemmed.

It is fond and every time I see that window I just can see my little girl walking so respectfully down that red carpet.
