I can hardly wait.
Melissa, my friend and former co-worker, and I are about to GO LIVE with our website!
As some of you know I used to own a brick and mortar store. Over head took a toll and well...I moved my store to eBay. Then later to Etsy and ArtFire. Now, with Melissa's help I'm about to have a real live online store. I can't wait...it has been a long time in coming...but it is almost here!
At first we will offer PDF patterns from all genre...quilting, clothing, crochet, knitting, scrapbooking...etc.
Then as we grow...we hope to offer print on demand patterns. Want a pattern? We'll print it...hot off the press JUST FOR YOU!
Thinking about wholesale as well....
Check back often. Not sure when the STORE will actually go live but it will be soon.
In and Because of HIM,

Thursday Thoughfulness
2 Corinthians 3:5-7(NIV)
“Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
***God says we are competent in Him to be his ministers…to tell the story His new covenant Jesus.

SUNDAY SHARING Wardrobe Refashion or Repurpose
OK...I realize that most people don't consider aprons as part of their wardrobe. However, I do. Let's face it when you get home from work...you're tired...you need to start dinner...no time to change...solution...throw on an apron! Voila..wardrobe.
I can't live without my aprons and have made many utility aprons...some of which you can find in my Etsy and Handmade With Love online stores.
Some ladies have shoe, purse, hat fetishes...mine (please don't tell)is aprons. I love to make them...love to wear them.
I've joined Wardrobe Refashion for the next 2 months and while I've not had time (yet) to participate...I have done some refashioning in the past (yes, with aprons) and here are two I'd like to share with you.
This apron was made from 2 matching placemats found at my local thrift store. Folded one in half and stitched it to the other...made a seam down the middle of the top placemat to make 2 pockets...then sewed on a wide ribbon in contrasting colors for the tie. 
This is by far my favorite re-purposed apron. It is made from a pillow case that I found at the same thrift store as the placemats just on a different visit. Front of pillowcase was the "body" of the apron while the opposite side was cut apart and made into the ties.
They both have been sold...I'm very excited about that.
