Saturday's Song. Slow Stitching. Stash Report

Saturday's Song
Have you ever been depressed?  
Have you ever felt like there was no end to your plight?  
Remember this saying?
Sometimes when my heart is broken, I remember to go through an alphabetical gratitude list.  Rend Collective has an encouraging - and true song - about this very concept.

Here is the video of the story behind this song.  It's worth a listen.

It's worth your time.
You. Are. Not. Alone.
Hugs to you!
Slow Stitching
For some time I've been making three yo-yo flowers every week using my more recent fabric purchases.  
  These are the ones I've been working on this week.  The last one is loaded into a Clover Yo Yo maker.  Isn't it interesting how the fabric changes once it's been made into a yo-yo?
After I finish this flower, I'm ready and eager to finally stitch together at least the first row of my quilt!  

 This is what it looked like some time ago.  

It will be fun to see how it looks at the end of this week!  

Stash Report
I took a backpack making class at my LQS and over the course of three weeks have a great finish that I'll be sharing soon!  I used my stash, so minus 3.5 yards!  I also finished a few small projects, so my numbers are looking a bit better!

Back in January I wondered if I could stitch up 100 yards of fabric and 200 yards of yarn.  I might make the 100 yards of fabric, but the 200 yards of yarn....we'll see.  Life was so different inn 2017.  I was weaker (due to lingering effects of chemotherapy) and now I'm so much more active!  Praise God!   

I hope you'll visit these link ups!

    I DO like that song, thanks for sharing it. You've been sewing and using, and that's a great thing. =) I'm glad you are able to do so much more than last year.
