BEING HUMBLE

So I observed a valubable leson while at my sewing convention on being humble.

The first instructor talked about how her husband spent time cutting the materials and everything for our class.  She talked about how supportive he is of her artistic craft and how grateful she was for him. 

The other instructors talked about how they had done all this work for us over and over.

So what I learned was the humbleness of the 1st instructor.  What a great example to me.  I would not know what to do without my wonderful husband who supports me to do with my talent.

ORIGINAL SEWING CONVENTION

Well I am back from my sewing convention.  I had 3 wonderful classes and 1 class I liked the actual item we made, but was not happy about the instructor.

I made a cool scarf, I mean mostly made, I was not able to finish any of the projects.  I also made a placemat and a cover for my sewing machine.  I was able to take a class on learning about measurements.  The last was an interesting class but way above my level.

I also bought a new quilting/embroider machine.  I will now be able to machine quilt.  I am so excited.  I am already working on my Christmas presents and this will be so helpful.

I am hoping to go next year, but I will need someone to go with.  Though going was a great adventure, I was really lonely with no one to talk to in between the classes and at night.

I cannot wait to finish my 3 projects and wear the scarf.  My goal is to be done this week.

FEBRUARY 2012

So.... I am finally over my cough.  Lingered forever.  So excited to be going to the sewing convention in Lakeland next week.  I look forward to learning so many new things and being able to create wonderful gifts this year.

Yesterday, we had a wonderful Primary Activity.  The kids loved it and they were so happy.  They all told me they learned so much and we had such a great time.

Keith and I are doing so much better with our food storage.  We are trying new things and have been working on eating at home more.

Work is very interesting lately.  We have been getting so much work and we are all doing great as a team.

I look forward to March and cannot believe we are half way through February already.
