Brilliant Sweet Surrender

Autumn's Surrender

"When life is hard and I grow weary,

when all I have known is slowly fading,

I will be as each leaf

and blade and tree.

I will leave that place willingly

 but not

with a dying gasp of grief or pain,

but with the brilliance of sweet surrender."

Orange Challenge #4

Pumpkin Cheesecake (with a ginger snap crust)

I used gluten free ginger snaps so that

I can have it too!

Yummy!!!

Pages in Time

Here are some of my latest scrapbook pages,

several of the photos were not the best,

but I wanted to keep them so I embellished

them as much as possible to distract from the

so-so image!

The Lord is My Rock

"The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer...

For who is God, except the Lord?

and who is a rock, except my God...

The Lord lives!

Blessed be my rock!"

Psalm 18

Sewing Little Bits at a Time

I have been sewing away to finish my

"Bits and Pieces" line for the

Artisan Fair.

I called it that because I tried to use up

lots of the bits and pieces from my fabric bin:)

So there is a variety of fabrics and sizes.

Now to move on to the

"Butternut Farm" line that

is cut out and ready to go!

Orange Challenge #3

I found this orange tape measure and silverware

caddy at a garage sale for $1.25

 So I glued the tape measure around the top and sides,

and now I have a cute thread caddy in my sewing room.

I also found this clever idea in a sewing magazine for

keeping your thread from getting tangled. Use

colored hair bands and wrap around the spool

when its not in use.
