Misson Accomplished!

Oh my word, I am so excited today!  Why, you ask?  Well, let me just tell you.  As you probably know, I've only been sewing since last year, probably a year in April or so, but the Lord has blessed me with the ability to learn pretty quickly and work even without a pattern most times.  So, the excited part...today I made a cute little American Girl Doll outfit...YES, OUTFIT as in 2 pieces that coordinate!  This is far bigger than my AGD maxi dresses and purse sets, this is BIG people!  The top is a halter top that resembles the maxi dresses, only a top and the pants are white with the ankles in the same material as the top!  That is a FIRST for me!  I actually used 2 materials on the pants!!!!  I topped the little shirt off with a white fabric flower from the same pant material. I hope you're not saying, "okay, what's the big deal and the excitement all about?"  For me, a novice seamstress, a wanna-be pro seamstress, it's just an accomplishment!  I almost want to keep it on Rebecca (my darling AG Doll model) just to remind myself when things get tough at the sewing machine that it CAN be done.  I must tell you, though, that I prayed and prayed as I began the task and reminded myself that God would help me make it work if it was His will. Boy, am I thankful it was His will! 


Hopefully I'll be able to whip a few more outfits or individual clothing items for the dolls before the sale, but that remains to be seen!  I am just thankful for this one, especially since today was a looooong one with no nap (remember, I start work at 3:45 am!!!), but it sure was a productive day!  Thanks to all who have taken the time to follow me or just read my posts.  It sure does pep my spirit up to see its actually being read!  God bless you!  I am thankful! 



Here's to the start of a simply fabulous weekend!  I plan on enjoying mine and I hope you enjoy yours!

Brand Spankin New Chapter in My Life

Where do I even start?  It's been two years since my last entry and wow, so much has changed in my life.  I guess I'll just start where my ADHD mind will take me and the first thing that comes to mind is this...I joined our local 10 Fitness gym not too long after my last entry.  I made new friends there, friends who I'd gone to church with for years, but new friendships with them.  After being at the gym a few times together my friend, Mandy, became my first ever gym partner.  Boy, we kicked it good.  We split the use of a personal trainer for about six months and then took on the training ourselves.  It was awesome to say the least!  But to explain that, I'll have to take you back to a much earlier time in my life...a time that was dark and quite frankly scary.  You can stop reading now if you want, or if you choose to go further, I want to warn you...I'm going to reveal some dark secrets from my past, secrets that I don't take lightly, but...

Waiting...Learning...Loving

I can't express how blessed I feel to be able to have my days free of medical transcription, y'all.  Every morning when I return from school drop off I have time to sit down and actually read my bible...not just a chapter, two if I'm lucky, but actually read and study .  There's even a new passion to do my Sunday School "homework" whereas before I just plain ole didn't do it.  I'm in Romans right now and it's almost like I'm reading it for the first time even though I've read it hundreds of times over the years.  I'm working on my third entire consecutive read-through of the bible.  When I finish reading it all the way through I just start over and do it again.  I want to keep God's word fresh in my mind and forever in my heart.  There may come a day, sadly, when in America it's illegal to keep a bible or perhaps all bibles will be destroyed.  I want to have as many verses and scriptures stored safely in my heart where no one ...

Seasons Change

It's been 10 months since my last entry and I have to wonder why...why has it been so long?  Maybe it's because life just gets so busy that I really can't find the time to sit down and type for pure release.  Yes, my regular job is a typing job, one that I've been doing for 20 years come this May (except I took a year off to sew my oats and work at Mother's Day Out and help my awesome husband with his home inspection business), but all in all, I've been typing over half my life now!  It's a job, so there are days when I literally hate to sit down at this computer and put my Beats on.  And, depending on what doctor comes up first thing in my morning, I'm either ready to snap someone's neck or I can actually squeeze out a little smile on my face because it's not a fast talker, foreign talker, food eater while he/she dictates, one who won't correct their obvious mistakes while talking...I can go on and on here.  But, the point was to emphasize h...
