Two Projects Done

Yay!...they're done!

 



Another Day of Sewing!

This is going "way" too slow for me!...don't know why everything seems to take me so long to complete...lol...I've finished a "teeny baby" and this morning I'm working on the sling for this one. I know I'm supposed to be making them to sell...but I think Hendrix will end up with this one...tee hee...

 

 

 

Also working on some training pants for Hendrix. I had them completed yesterday, but really didn't like the look of the elastic on the waist...so, I took it off and I'm going to get them put back together this afternoon.

 

 

I have so much more fabric to make many more. I just want to get the hang of getting these sewn up quicker...I love the monster fabric!

 

So, on another note, I'm still stuck on Proverbs 3:5...Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. It seems to be lodged in my brain these days...hmm...think I should really pay attention!

 

"lean not unto thine own understanding"...to rely on my own intellect and/or experience more than I rely on God. I know He wants me to use my heart and my head, but, I'm limited in my understanding compared to Almighty God. So, I must fully trust in God's wisdom, knowledge, direction for my life...



Slowly But Surely

 

Slowly But Surely....

 

 

I can't believe it's been over 20 days since I last posted something...ugh! I have worked on some dolls, but not a lot of progress...

I think I have four 16" dolls cut out (two sewn together) and six 9" dolls cut out (two sewn together). And, I just got a new pattern for a 19" doll that I'm pretty excited about.

I'm having a hard time focusing on what to work on. I want to make some training pants for Hendrix with this pattern...

(couldn't get a good pic w/o the glare!)

 













I have made a couple with different patterns, but can't seem to get one that I'm satisified with that fits just right. I'm also working on a couple of throw pillows for my sister. I had to stop midway...I'm actually making new covers for the ones she has. I only brought one home and while taking them apart decided to use the original piping....so, I have to get the other pillow from her to finish.

 

And finally, AmyLyn and I went to Ikea a couple of weekends ago and got Hendrix some new linens for his toddler bed and furniture for toy storage. We accidentally bought two sets of a duvet cover and pillow case...we meant to get a set of sheets too. So, rather than make the long trip back we decided to turn one set into a sheet for the bed and a valance/curtain for the window.

 

For some reason I'm feeling a little scattered lately...lol. And the verses from Proverbs 3:5-6 have been on my mind.

 

⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

 

It's such a "well known" passage that most of the time I don't slow down enough to really take it to heart. So, I'm really asking God to "break it down" for me and make it more real to me on a daily basis.

 

The Hebrew word “batah” has the meaning of “reliance on” with the inner result of a feeling of well-being and security

 

So, today, I'm going to work on that...meditate on that...fully relying on God!!
