Sew excited!!!

This spring, I'm taking a swimwear class and I am sew excited!  I've had the sewing bug all semester, but I've just been making patterns (which has been really hard, but really liberating).  I ordered my fabric today and I can't wait to get started!

Also, I think I'm going to be making my bridesmaid's dress for Kenn's wedding.  What do think about something like thisor this?

Recipe for life

What a beautiful world we live in!  

Today the sun is shining and the grass is almost green! woot!

The sky on my left is periwinkle blue and on my right there are beautiful clouds, reminders of heaven.

You know, this year I have been really good at being sad.  Choosing to let trials get me down. 

 

How lame is that?  God didn't send us down to earth to be sad.  

"Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy."

Today, I am choosing joy :)

I went to a beautiful funeral on saturday for the sweetest woman named Anne (with an e.)  

I felt like she lived her life with the motto of "You are as happy as you want to be." 

 That is my new motto.
