Psalm 13:3 "Consider me and respond, O LORD...", Fiber Fun, Literary Living from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hi there!

I hope you've all had a fabulous week! Yes, I actually had my surgery yesterday, but I was able to post this because most of it was pre-written. Luckily, the surgery was done laparoscopically, so recovery is fairly easy. I'm hopeful it stays that way.

In the eleven months since my daddy's passing, I’ve found that grief never truly ends; we just learn to live with it as it sleeps, and then wakes up roaring. I'm realizing my mind isn't entirely clear right now. One goal that has completely fallen off my ...

Psalm 12:1, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

I hope you're having a blessed day with joy, peace and love! My week has been filled with writing, studying, playing with fiber arts, reading and a bit of time with friends. I did have a different kind of day on Tuesday.

Our school district honors bilingual students by offering them the opprotunity to graduate with a Bilingual Seal added to their diploma. My former student teacher invited some of my friends who are retired teachers and myself to serve on a panel that grants students the opprotunity to graduate with their Bilingual Seals! I am humbled ...

Psalm 11: Faith Over Fear, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, and Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

I hope you've had a fabulous week! Happy Mothers' Day to all who are a mom in once capacity or another. For some, this day is bittersweet. To you, whoever you are, hugs of comefort and understanding.

Our weather has been strange, to say the least. Last month we were in the 90's and Thursday it was so crisp we needed jackets and blankets to watch our grandson's baseball game! Our dry desert welcomed almost 24 hours of intermittent rain that Thursday and Friday.

My sewing room is coming along nicely. I'm hoping to ...

Psalm 9: Part 3, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

Welcome, and thank you so much for stopping in! Has Spring sprung in your neck of the woods? Here in Southern New Mexico, we have had a mix of hot, cool, and perfect temperatures. I'm finding recovery slow going, probably due to a sinus infection developing a few days after I was diagnosed with strep. Talk about a 2 for 1!

This week, I am happy to guest host Melva’s (from Melva Loves Scraps) Sew and Tell link-up. You will find the link at the bottom of this post.

Please grab your favorite beverage, sit back ...

Psalm 9, Part 2, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

Thank you so much for stopping in! I sure hope you all are doing better than I am. It's my birthday weekend and strep throat decided to crash the party. I've been miserable, but am hopeful the coming week will be better. My husband, who is an amazing cook, made me a big pot of delicious chicken/vegetable soup! It's so soothing to my throat. Thank You, God for antibiotics, my wonderful husband and chicken soup!

Before I got sick, my husband was also in to mood to paint my sewing room. The walls are ...

Psalm 7, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

Thank you all for you sweet comments on my new header. I was playing with blogger's layout and decided to go for it! While we're talking about blogging, thank you all for your patience as I grieve Daddy. I’m finally starting to comment and respond to your sweet comments again! As spring begins to peek around the corner, my joy is slowly returning. It feels strange, but wonderful to laugh, play with my grandbabies, and rediscover joy in everyday life again. It's fabulous to reconnect with all of you!

I had such a relaxing ...

Psalm 6, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping in! I hope your week was fabulous and that the coming week is even better. I was quite productive this week and even finished two books! It feels like I am finally getting my "land legs" back after my father's passing. Though I’m a bit late, I’m ready to set my goals for the year:

Prioritize a healthier lifestyle with the goal of moving away from at least one medication.

Continue sewing from my stash, only purchasing new fabric when necessary to complete a specific project.

Finish my "Quilt As You ...

Time for a Baby Quilt! from TheEclecticAbuela

My niece has a new (big!) baby boy, so you know what I did--made a flannel baby quilt!

Baby Quilt--36" x 54"

The red flannel is printed with a funny assortment of animals (cows, horses, owls, foxes, giraffes, elephants, and dinosaurs--dinosaurs?!?). I think the fabric designer asked some kids what their favorite animals were, rather than sticking with a theme.

Double Disappearing Nine Patch (D9P) from TheEclecticAbuela

I love D9Ps, but I hadn't tried doubling the pattern until now!

Double D9P (80" x 80")

I had a layer cake of which I wasn't too fond, so I put it to work trying this. A double D9P isn't hard--you just do the cutting and sewing twice. Start with a nine-patch, cut it in quarters, then use those pieces for the corners in a bigger nine-patch, and cut that one in quarters. Arrange in the pattern you prefer. I have some instructions on making a standard D9P HERE.
