I'm Thankful for Challenges

 It's easy to get in a rut, let life go by, day by day in a slow-moving whirl. But if I stretch myself to try new things or go a little farther on something each time I do it, I get a great feeling of satisfaction, especially when I try doing something that I think is in God's plan for my life! A while back I mentioned how I was starting to get into sewing- I even made an apron for my first project. So imagine how delighted I was to find this: a challenge from Susan @e-i-e-i-omg-a great blog!  So I took up the gauntlet-COMMITTED! Unfortunately, I've not been up to par, health-wise, lately. But I'm not a quitter! So I hunted up an apron that I had started last month and finished it up-just in time! Between doses of Nyquil and rubdowns with Vick's, I managed to come up with this

 Dh isn't home to take a picture, and everyone else in the challenge is posting pictures of themselves actually wearing their aprons, so here is my best go at it! 


  Yep, that's me, standing on the toilet, wearing the same sweatpants I've had on for 3 days. Hey I put on a clean shirt and combed my hair-what more do you want??? I swear those sweatpants only come out when I'm sick...or if there is a Star Wars marathon on tv....or if I've got a mountain of crochet....or.....


  It is going to be so neat to wear this for Thanksgiving (and I promise, I will ditch the sweatpants!)

Proverbs 31:22  She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
