Restful Sunday, with some great treats

-
It has been a Sunday full of treats.
First treat:
The Children's Church performed in church today.
Performance is the key word.
Tyler, second on in from the right had moves that have nothing on any rock star.
He jumped,
He flew,
He performed.
Logan (in the argyle sweater) was a little more laid back.
Not much,
but a little. Second treat:
Our pastor returned from the Dominican and brought coffee for me.
Nice of him?
Well I did whine a little about it.
About how I always brought coffee back for everyone when I went.
And
how no one brings me coffee any more.
Pays to whine sometimes.
I love the taste of this coffee.
Third treat:
A ladies Bible Study is starting at our church.
The woman starting it is someone that I really respect.
It is on Saturday and not a day during the week when I would not be able to attend.
Answer to prayer.
Fourth treat:
My mother in law's lasagna for lunch.
Enough said.
Fifth treat.
Home, quiet, some painting a little knitting, catching up on some blogs...
and
JWS just ground the beans and brought me a cup of the coffee.
Life is good.

What a lovely day. Thanks for sharing, Cathy.

Next time I get to the States I'll bring you some coffee from Oaxaca, Mexico. I think it rivals coffee from anywhere in the world (including the Dominican Republic);-)

Would have loved to see the kids sing! Your day sounds a lot less hectic than others you've shared! Glad you had a more relaxed day, Cathy!

Yes, it does sound like a restful day! How blessed you are. I love seeing the little ones involved in church activities-it truly warms my heart to know they are getting to know Jesus.
Have a wonderful week,
Sheila

Hi Cathy - I just read your latest comment about the bunny challenge..and I suppose...you could somehow use that pattern to make something out of wood and paint it - hey..whatever your mind can come up with it okay by me - that's the challenge of it all.

Good luck!!

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
