My Favourite Quilt and that DD



Canvas Work that I finished a while back, but will go to the framers maybe tomorrow.

I promised pictures and so here are a couple. The top one was a mystery class I took a few years back. It is probably one of the few that I actually finished. There always seems to be something more interesting in the next project. LoL. The following picture is of a quilt I made using all the scraps from a log cabin quilt I made using the heart layout. I was very pleased I got a two-fer. All of a sudden that DD decided he had to be in the picture, usually he is quite camera shy.

 

It has been almost two months since my hubby passed away and to boot his birthday would be coming up, so I hit the wall this week and it took an incident at work to finally get me out of the fog. For that I am thankful. So, to end the week, I did/will be doing some "firsts" - went to see his sister in his hometown, tomorrow I will be going with friends for breakfast and next week I will be looking for a new vehicle on my own. Progress is being made and so far, so good. I had a really good time with C. today. We had some awesome salads, awesomer dessert and even better conversation. Tomorrow, She Who Must Be Obeyed aka the daughter will be joining us for breakfast. I am happy she will be able to join us as her and our friend Henry have a lot in common. Later tomorrow we get to finally get a peek at my oldest son and wife's new house. They were given the keys to have a little lookie see. I think there may be a small crowd there. They bought this house a year ago and were supposed to take possession in March, which got moved to April which now is May. We have a huge shortage of trades people in Canada and everytime there is a disaster, the trades people have to do the fix-up for that which puts the new housing behind. Flood season is coming up and for most of Canada there will be some type of flooding, so who knows what the eventual move date will be.

I have been doing a bit of study on missions this week and I think my perspective is changing a bit. I always believed that not everyone goes somewhere on missions and I always believed that each person has a mission field, whether it be family, extended family, work, neighbourhood whatever. But, what I don't think I realized is that if you aren't called to go somewhere, then you are called to give to those going. This is of course in addition to prayers for them. I tended to pick and chose and be not very disciplined in this area, but now the light bulb went on - Thank you Father, and so from now on I will be more generous.

Hope you all have a great sunny, warm, spring-like weekend.

Blessing - Jean
