Well at least I was busy!

I was keeping busy all last week SEWING! When I wasn't working I was trying to stay on task at the sewing machine. A friend was going to a craft fair for the first time and talked me into sharing the table with her. Good thing this is podunk and I didn't need hundreds of items. I think.
Anyway, I made 4 children's aprons, 2 women's half aprons, two scarves and one purse (to add to the one purse I already had on hand). Here is the purse that I made;
the front

and the back

Repurposed from the Hunky Dory skirt that Corrie at Quilt Taffy offered up. Pattern is by Craft Apple.

So I sewed and sewed and wished for more time. I stayed up until 2 getting everything ready the night before. Met my friend at 7:45AM and went to the podunk community center to set up. The fair was from 9 - 1. That was the longest 4 hours of my life. Painfully long hours. Most of the traffic we had was the other vendors. 16 of them. It didn't help that it was pouring outside, or they hadn't advertised much. I sold one children's apron. My friend didn't sell anything. I know I should never say never but...

I didn't hear from the lady that received the POSH quilt all week. I was sure that her hubby didn't give it to her and it was sitting in the back of his truck all week. I wondered about it for a couple of days and then I let it go. I knew it had all come together in God's timing and He was still in control. On Sunday, during the Sunday school opening, the woman came up and gave me a big hug and with tears in her eyes thanked me for the quilt. She said she cried her eyes out when she read the note I had enclosed with it and she tried to call but each time she picked up the phone she would start crying. She knew that she wanted to talk to me and not send an email so she decided to just wait. All is good. Praise the Lord!

Praise - Since Thursday the 6th, three babies have been born into our church family!! Two first time parents.

Prayers - for the babies and parents to make the big adjustment,for the parents to rely on the Lord for wisdom and knowledge and patience. Also for the two ladies that are due within the next 4 weeks.
