"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
Gensis 1:27
Nothing much has happened but yet alot. Last week was one of those weeks by the end of it you feel like you have nothing left. I was exhausted, cranky and not socialable. After a run to the store to purchase my sewing machine :-D I went home and worked on my quilt. Sense we still don't have cable t.v. or internet at the apartment Ive been spending my time cutting squares for what I guess is called a patchwork quilt. I had finally cut my last square and needed to purchase my sewing machine. Its something that is relaxing for me. Which has oddly suprised some. I love to create things wither it be with a camera, a computer or a sewing machine. I get to be creative and watch a design develop before me. Best part is I feel productive in doing it. I've cut back considerably the amount of time I spend at my computer and even in front of the t.v. By Sunday night I had my first two blocks completed. Its probably not the best of work but its enjoyable and I'm excited to finish it and I know I'll look at the mistakes and love them. I think the other reason I like quilting is I've always looked at a quilt as away to describe my life. God taking pieces (trails, heartache, amazing times, tears) sewing them together and making my life.
Saturday I got to do something else I love so very much- Hiking! After the Zoo we headed out to balgua point area and hiked up the creek and then up a trail to a look out area over looking the point, and the road. It makes you feel like your worries are so small compared to how big our God is. I love going up there it does wonders to ones mood. :-)
I need to be heading back to work. Why is it that work goes by so slow but the lunch break goes by so fast - hmm
Before I leave I want to wish Momma Tammi a very Happy Birthday. Love Ya Momma :-D

Alright--a real post! I was beginning to wonder if they'd come to an end. :-)
Quilting! Ah, yes. I did that. Once. Took me 9 years to complete it. ;-) I never thought of quilts spiritually like you. In fact, quilting for me is probably one of those trials, heartaches, tears--like you mentioned! HA! Anyway, I'm sure it will be a joy to you and will turn out beautifully. Be sure to post pictures! :-)
I think quilting is a great idea! I hope you'll take pictures every once in awhile so we can see how far along you are in your sewing.
Love you!
Thanks for the birthday wish.
Hi there! I know I'm several days late in discovering your post, but BTI kept me a mite busy.
I'm so excited to hear you're quilting and that you bought a sewing machine! Yippee!! It can bring you much pleasure (and a bit of frustration, as well) as you learn new talents CREATING projects with your new machine. Happy sewing!!!
