I need to boast here. I know where this young man has been and what he has gone through in his past (nothing criminal, but things that happened around him). Praise the Lord it only made him stronger and more sympathetic to the children under his watch.

On Avery, things are still looking real good for her. Her parents have been told that at this point, they see no reason why she can't come home…

The Spirit Led me this week. It kept me on task. I hope you had a Spirit Led week also.

The fabric made it on Friday. Now I have all the 'petals' made and 200 of them sewn into the circle (10 petals each = 20 circles). 5 more circles are ready to go.

I hope you have had a Spirit Led holiday season.
I am sorry for the delay in posting. It got busy around here.
When I last posted, I was heading to make some organza tree ornaments. I did not get as many done as I wanted, but here is a taste.
Then we had blood…

Hi
I enjoy your blog posts. I'd love to comment on them, but the comments section is closed. I was afraid you were thinking no one was reading them.

You know when the weather is gloomy here my cat loves to sleep on sunny days it's the in/out of house and he keeps me exercise. I've seen shows where yoga companies have a thread mill for dog/cat to keep owner coming to his exercise program. But I have a program where dog/cat has ME on thread mill while they doze off.
