Happenings of the week

I know it has been a few days since I last updated. For awhile there I did not have access to a computer ( the old lap top battery stopped working). Now things are up and running.

I finally mailed the quilt I made for my mom and day for their anniversary. I feel really bad about mailing it so late. I hate to fix something on it and it took longer than expected.

After the post office I visited the Evergreen Park Farmer's Market. My friend Angela has a booth there, and she makes/sells the most delicious homemade turtles. Earlier in the week I helped her make some turtles. It was fun learning how to make the caramel which in my opinion is the best part. It was also good for me because  it gave me some ideas about my own business. I think I really need to vamp up and do some better advertising and getting the word out there. It seemed  like it was a very long day. I had walked a lot. By the time I got home I felt so drained and weak that I had to lie down and take a nap. I didn't sleep for long because the phone rang. Oh well.


On Tuesdays I've joined the women's bible study at church. They are doing a study called Anointed, Transformed and Redeemed on the life of David. It includes author such as Pricilla Sherer (Tony Evan's daughter), Beth Moore, and Kay Arthur. It is another video series however I like it this time because because we are given ample time for discussion and prayer. I am amazed at all the wonderful women in the bible study. This is only the second week and I am already and learning lots, feeling inspired and encouraged. Paula, the Pastor's wife does a fantastic  job facilitating it and I can tell she puts a lot of effort into preparing for it.

I have been keeping busy with doing a lot of housework lately as well as some sewing. I've started on a quilt for my cousin's wife in New Mexico. I am really excited about how this one is going to turn out. The fabric is fantastic. I listed a  picture below of one of the 15 inch blocks I am using. This pattern is called New Mexico. I am alternating it with another pattern called Bambury Cross (but I modified it a little bit). I'll post the pictures of that bambury cross when I finish it.

I gotta trim the edges on this one. But I am  really likeing the pattern and the fabric.
