Origami Lotus

Newest project

Although this is still in the sewing arena, I thought I would post the link here because my project could easily be adapted to scrapbooking or paper piecing. I am working on a quilt with zoo animal in it and created my own design for the animals. You can view it here. Here is a one of the sketches of the animals I created:

Busy, Busy

Well summer is always busy for everyone. I have been spending alot of time with my quilting lately. Although it is not quilted yet, the top is done. You can see it here: Lovin My Quilts

A Little Inspiration....

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Nick Vujicec today. If you have never heard of Nick, he is an inspiration to all!! He has no arms and no legs and speaks internationally to millions. I first saw Nick on YouTube ( I posted the links on the right side bar). When I got to work (my daughter's middle school) today I opened my email only to find an attached letter about Nick and his presentation at the school today. I couldn't believe it!

Here is a little message from Nick:
"If I fail, I try again, and again, and again..."
"If YOU fail, are YOU going to try again?"

It Matters how you're going to FINISH
Are you going to finish STRONG?

We are put in situations to build our character.. not destroy us

The tensions in our life are there to strengthen our convictions... not to run over us...

Think you've got it bad?
Need some encouragement?
Fallen Down?
Can't find the STRENGTH to get back up?
