Met the challenge

and then some! Not very often that I am an overachiever (take today for instance) but I was able to meet the One Week One Thing Challenge and actually make something else too!

The two table runners;


These were mailed and well received.


Upcycled sweater pillow;
Those are VINTAGE buttons on the side. I have a big jar of buttons that belonged to my mom. These were all on the card still and the price - 79 cents. For FIVE buttons!

BONUS project;

this is for one of College Girl's roomies for Christmas. I'm working on the other one today.

Praise - BOTH of my college kids got back to school safely. Thank you, Lord! They both said it was an easier trip than the one home. We had a great time and it was hard to say good-bye.

Prayers - It is soon the end of a quarter for College Girl and the semester for College Boy - they need stamina, good health, good use of their time, good recall for their tests.

  2. Oh, PRAISE THE LORD for safe trips ! Woo HOO ! He is good and his love endures to ALL generations !

    I'm really impressed with those finished and delivered gifts. I finished the third beehive hat, but didn't get these two into today's mail......realized I still need to make a stocking for littlest boy !
