Do you take this time of year to take a look back? I do. The bad times as well as the good all come together to make our lives what they are. I think if only ‘that’ had not happened but yet if it hadn’t the good that followed also would not have happened. It took me a full year to realize that being able to take care of my sister in her last day’s was a true gift from God. I now praise God, for giving me that gift.
Another what I think of as bad in my life is the ex-wife of our son that is not letting us see our grandson, a boy we raised for years and I miss him so much. I am wondering what miracle will come from what is so much hurt. I know God will answer with something good and I have to learn to turn it over to him.
Another blessing has been stepping into blogging. The new friends I have made are a true blessing. I know I have a lot more to learn about this new way to communicate, a skill I hope to get better at as I really enjoy sharing with you.
I will try to do better and answer some of your questions: Bunny, I have no idea what makes the elastic work the way it does, I know you can pull out the knit tie from the center of the elastic and I am sure it would stretch around the world at least once. The waist never seems to get to tight and the kids get a lot more wear from their garments.
Mynorth, sorry for not getting back to you about the dress, yes it is taffeta, Zoe has wanted a dress that rustles and taffeta defiantly does that.
To all my followers, thank you so much.
I started following your blog because I just bought a machine and want to learn to sew. It's still in the box, but I have reasonable hope it will come out as soon as all the Xmas is put away. In the meantime, I will add you to my prayers in hopes you will see your grandson soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd though I don't wish for followers for followers sale, I'd love it if you were to stop by my blog sometime. Perhaps when I do sew something I'll share it there and we can all have a good giggle!
Hugs from IL,
