Saturday's Song. Sunday Slow Stitching. Stash Report.

Saturday's Song

Let's remember:

One thing remains:

His love never, ever fails.

Live fearlessly, 

with the confidence that 

You. Are. Loved.

Sunday Slow Stitching
I've made a bit of progress on Prayer Shawl #7 which I carry in my Crochet in Public bag by Whistle and Ivy!

as well as the Maria's Blue Crayon Spring Granny Afghan. 

Today I will be cutting the last bits and bobs to finish the Felt Advent Calendar.  Here is an unedited version of my work table.....fun stuff!  :)

 I love and am so grateful to God for my work spaces!!

Stash Report
I'm still revamping my report methods.  Here's my new "accounting page".  

I like using a plain spiral notebook because it's portable and I can easily check progress.  Also, lately, God has been speaking to me about keeping things simple and this is one way to do so.  

It's only February and I've already used 22 yards of fabric!  I'm thinking I'll make it to 100 yards this year!

My stash addition was 10 fat quarters by Benartex for a mere $12 - $1.20 a piece at Tuesday Morning!  My daughter taught me about being able to find quilt quality fabric for a song there.  
While I get 99% of my fabric at my LQS, I certainly will pick up deals like these when I find them!

Being that I'm working on larger yarn projects, I may not have any yarn used for a while.  Prayer Shawl #7 should be finished soon, so that will help my figures.

Proverb of the Month May 2016. Isaiah 43:2. Happy Song.

Proverb for the Month - May 2016

https://nimfa1219.wordpress.com/tag/proverbs-162/

I love this image……This person seems deep in thought in a beautiful location.  I’m also learning to walk with God, press the pause button, and seek out my motives for my actions.  Of course, I err!  But, as I begin to develop this practice of prayerfully seeking out my heart and motives, I become more loving, more gentle, more Christ like. 

Isaiah 43:2

My love with the ocean started in Okinawa, Japan.  It was there, via a wise friend’s comments, that I saw God’s power in the ocean.  Certainly, I had always seen His majesty as I gazed at the ocean, but power?  Not so much.

She was going through medical testing that required cyclical visits to the hospital in the same day.  On her “off time”, we would go to the beach.  I asked her how she could be so peaceful.  She responded (paraphrased), “You see how the ocean waves come only so far?  If God can hold these powerful waves back from overcoming us, He can certainly handle this situation.” 

Yes indeed.

Reminds me of this beloved verse:

This means me. 

This means you.

Yes, my dear friend, you. 

He loves you.

Dear Friend, this is my truth!

Happy Song
