It's been a while since I updated. Not sure anyone even visits here anymore, but it seems like a good place to record some things. Since my Mom's death in August, I have not had the emotional bandwidth for much-- not even my yearly Christmas letter! But God is bringing rest and renewal always. And I have been doing a little sewing. So let me update on a few projects as an easy re-entry to my blogging.
|
I completed a couple of table toppers for Valentine's Day-- one for the Phoenix Finns and one for the Tucson Finns. |
|
A little elephant for a new covenant baby at church. Love this pattern! |
|
I also made a covey of tea cozies for the shower for that baby. They fit a group of teapots for our tea-themed shower. |
|
And, of course, another baby quilt for that new little girl. This redwork quilt was so cute! |
|
Most recently I created a plethora of shamrock mug rugs, in the mail for St. Patrick's Day. |
|
This is a portion of the bookmarks I completed for Christmas. |
|
I made two piano bags for two Tucson pianists. |
|
And a zippered church bag for another. |
|
Christmas toppers and hot pads for each family.
|
|
And ornaments--LOTS of ornaments. The birds went to the grandkids. The rest went to my nieces, the elders and deacons at church, and my bible study ladies. |
I have a few larger projects under way, and a set of placemats for myself, but those I am slowly chipping away at. And Cousin's Camp is just a few months away, along with our busy birthday season.
Praying for me and for you, Gentle Reader, that as spring approaches, God will not only renew the earth, but renew our hearts and reinvigorate us after a long, cold winter.
