I created!

11.5.10

So, it’s not anything close to Red Thread Stitches, but I’m pretty darn proud of myself.

I have a really cool vintage Disney pillowcase I wanted to make into a tunic top for Ashlyn. But, I didn’t want to ruin it with my first attempt at it. So, I made this yesterday out of an old tank top we had and some old Raggedy Ann and Andy sheets from when I was little. I’m so happy with how it turned out. It’s super cute. And, I loved it with the red striped socks and red Mary Janes today.

There is something so rewarding about turning nothing into something, you know? And, there is something so rewarding about having a finished product to my efforts. So much of what I do doesn’t have any sort of finished product–“mom stuff” typically doesn’t.

I could get into this.

Thursday’s Things to Pray For

11.4.10

I skipped last week. Oops…

  1. Prayer for my sweet friend Jenna who is China now and has just met her new son! She hasn’t updated her blog yet since she met him (I may start sending her mean emails if she doesn’t do it soon!). But, pray for them. He is a a preschooler, and she has her other two kiddos with them as well. So, lots of change and adjustments for all of them going on.
  2. Praise that my voice is getting stronger every day. I’m still hoarse and particularly uncomfortable at night. But, it’s so much better. 
  3. Pray for this weekend. Mark and I are going to the MidAtlantic Orphan Summit. I’m excited to hear the speaks and connect with other families there. Pray that we would hear God’s voice there and that the time would really be fruitful.

Click here to learn more about Thursday’s Things to Pray For. Pray for me, for these things I list. And, leave me a comment to let me know you did if you don’t mind. It would be a great encouragement. And, I invite you to do the same on your blog–haven’t had too many takers on this in weeks past. But, I still feel compelled to invite you to.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
