Library Time 96
I haven't been feeling well this past week so I have been doing a lot of reading while I rested, but most of the reading was very lite. I finally finished Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín. My daughter asked me to proof-read this for her. There wasn't a lot of language, but there was more content …
Friday File 75
No sewing this week (insert sad face), but I was able to get in on a big sale at my local fabric store. That means I have enough fabric for several projects. Enough to keep me busy for several weeks! Our family had two firsts this week. First, our oldest son, who now has his …

Some of his songs are: Almost Persuaded, Dare to be a Daniel, Hallelujah! What a Saviour!, Hold the Fort, Jesus Loves Even Me, Whosoever Will, and Wonderful Words of …
Friday File 73
Another busy week! But I still managed to sew even if it meant doing it early in the morning before I woke the children up. My son asked me for a gun case for his airsoft gun. I was a little nervous about this project because I had no idea how I was going to …
