On a Roll

Kylie's new hat

I guess I’ve been in a sewing mood, because I’ve been doing lots of it.  I have had extra incentive of trying to turn my huge pile of smaller pieces of material and scraps into something useful and hopefully cute. Yesterday was Aubrey’s birthday (daughter of fellow missionaries) and I decided to make her a dress and little purse to match. It was a perfect fit!

I’ve wanted to make Kylie (Aubrey’s baby sister) something and so I decided to make a little hat for her. It’s been quite warm here, so I thought a little hat to help …

It’s Finished!

Lindsey's quilt

Last year when we went on furlough, Linz and I took a trip to Joann Fabrics (can you say self-control?) and I had Linz pick out some material for a quilt. I had not yet made one for her, and so that was to be my next project once we returned to Tanzania.  I don’t remember exactly when I started cutting pieces out, but I do know that I had the top finished by the time we moved here in January.

Count Your Blessings

Drying the Laundry

Our neighbor's laundry, spread across the ground to dry in the sun. The shack in the background is their chicken house.

Sometimes our blessings we forget, counting we ignore.

Take a moment to reflect; you’ll discover you have more…

You have more than many in this world, much more than you deserve,

So, make time to thank the One who gave, and then go out and serve.
