Until next time…
There is a virtuous fear which is the effect of faith, and a vicious fear which is the product of doubt and distrust. The former leads to hope as relying on God, in whom we believe; the latter inclines to despair, as not relying on God, in whom we do not believe. Persons of the one character fear to lose God; those of the other character fear to find him.

so did you do the 5 things on your to-do list?
thanks for taking part
I love this ..yes watermelon is very special yyou are a cutey pie
thanks for your thoughtful comment I thought our little south austin neighborhood was secure! I love the blue apron by the way…I hit a hitch with my mail outs this wee( you know why) so monday your apron is on her way!
Hi Belle,
So glad to see you!
Not to worry about the mail outs. My apron will arrive right on time. 🙂 When it does I’m going to show it off over here and tell everyone where it came from. I’m very excited about it.
I hope your nerves have settled after the excitement y’all had. I’m afraid I’d be feeling pretty angry.
Sally, I got everything on my list of 5 things to do done except for prewashing the fabric for the love seat cover, but I got that washed, dried and folded yesterday. Maybe today I’ll start ironing it, but I’m not sure about that. I’ve decided to make a muslin cover first so I am sure I get my cuts right and not waste my upholstery fabric.
Yesterday I had to make a trip to the bank, and I went to Books-a-Million and bought a book with really understandable instructions and lots of pictures for a slip-cover project very much like mine. My confidence is building. (I wish I had an emoticon of a little muscle building guy…)
I enjoyed playing, Sally. Thanks for including me.
