IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE FAR TO BE A ROAD TRIP

Sometimes the best outings can be just an hour away or even just down the roads a ways watching the sun go down on the river, we started out just down  the road a ways to Tannehill Trade days,  a monthly craft event, then onto Ox Moore  a town between us & Birmingham where we stopped in at a Chinese Restaurant, then onto Birmingham to the big Iron Man called the Vulcan , as you can see I stopped along the walkway taking pictures of bird houses & Dogwood trees

SUNDAY SELECTIONS

I’M ON THE BATTELFIELD

piano

I was alone and idle, I was a sinner too

I heard a voice from heaven saying there is much to do

I took my masters hand and I joined that heavenly band

 

Now I’m on the battlefield for my Lord

Now I’m on the battlefield for my Lord

Yes I’m on the battlefield for my Lord

I promised him that I  would serve him till I die

Now I’m on the battlefield for my Lord

It is in those times when we feel we’re on the battlefield that Jesus is right there in front of us  surrounding us with that hedge of protection, no matter what bullets the enemy shoots at us we will not perish, sure we will be wounded, scarred & even discouraged at times but we will perish because we are surrounded by that hedge of protection if we are on the Lords side

WHAT MAKES US BUY FABRIC?

 

do you only buy fabric for that project you’re about to embark upon in the moment? does it call you because it’s pretty, just gotta have it & will ponder  what to do with it later? is there fabric in your sewing room that you’d have to confess  just how long you’ve been pondering? I’m guilty of a lot of pondering lol!

sew11

these bright happy corals & yellows  called me  two years ago lol! I still love it but not quite sure about it now

challenge44

in desperation of finding the perfect cherry print for my pattern,

pattern01

I came across this cherry print, the other two, welllll it was on sale lol!

fabric01

it’s not what I had in mind but it was on the clearance table & it seemed to be calling me, it’s more of a  silky texture, not what I had envision for my dress, so why did I buy it? desperation? lol! has anyone bought fabric on line? cause I love love love this! but then would I ?

 cherry05

fabric attacks are not my fault, it’s just that the fabric store is in the wrong place lol! I have to pass it on the way to town & on the way back, it’s there when I visit family, go to the DR. go to the Mall, go to the grocery store,coming home last night I seen the fabric truck in the parking lot ohhhh can you imagine all the new fabrics, it’s a good thing I’m still in my PJ’s lol!

but I have good news!
