Oops! Jeremiah 29:11-13.

Oooops!
Hey there, Everybody!  I sure have missed you!  Tonight is a late night - it's already 2:00 in the morning!  I just can't sleep, so I was working on Block 2 of Moda's Be My Neighbor QAL.  This picture is from Staci at Vintage Fairytale.  Please note her beautiful pinwheel block and her upright chimney.

Everything was going pretty smoothly except, well...
my pinwheel center didn't match up,

some seams didn't match up,

and then,

the straw that broke the camel's back!

I got to the chimney....
and mine went sideways!

Honestly, I thought about taking a picture, but I was so in the zone, I didn't want to stop.  I just had to fix this mistake!!

And not so long ago, I would have.  

No

Matter

What.

And then I realized something:

I didn't care.

I didn't want to fix my chimney.

It's only a chimney.

So guess what I did?

I threw away the offensive chimney, 

cut new pieces,

cleaned up my sewing mess, 

and pinned everything on my design board

for another day.

Then I laughed, 

turned on my praise and worship 

Itunes playlist,

took a nice warm shower,

put on my favorite scented lotion and

my most comfy jammies

and sat down to write you.

It's good to be alive

crooked chimneys and all.

My sewing machine thanks me,

my dogs thank me.

and most of all, 

I thank me.

Jeremiah 29:11-13

So, usually when I listen to Itunes, I usually hit shuffle and see what songs God wants me to listen to....never, NEVER has a song played twice in a row.

This one did:

So I thought I'd share it with you!  
God knows the plans He has for me - and you
to prosper us,
not to hurt us,
we have a hope and a future.

And life is good.
Real good.
Except for that misbehaving quilt block 
in my trash.

Maybe I'll pull it out
and put it in my scrap bag.
Maybe.

I'm linking up to Midweek Makers at Quilt Fabrication.

But, now, it's late.
Time to try and sleep.
Good night/morning!

Dear Friend, this is my truth!
