Simply A Tote

Filed under: Books, Crafty — Joy @ 10:44 pm

I finally got around to using Amy Karol’s Bend The Rules Sewing book last week. It has been calling out from the shelf for a very long time. I decided to tackle the Simple Tote as I did not have much time but wanted a little project to finish! I used some of the wonderful Japanese fabric that I had received from Kris awhile back. I am really excited about the tote and plan to use it as a lunch bag!

In other news Blakley has tagged me from Rockin Smokin to grab the nearest book, turn to page 123 and post the 6th, 7th, and 8th sentences so here we go…

Tonights nearest book is Keeping the Sabbath Wholly: Ceasing, Resting, Embracing, Feasting by Marva Dawn and page 123 reads…
“Certainly we can always enjoy other people more fully when no obligations are impinging on our time. In our society it is difficult to embrace people instead of things, to cherish time rather than space. So much of out technologically efficient and materially exploitative culture militates against these values.”
There you have it! Pretty intriguing huh!
I am supposed to tag 5 people but instead I am just going to open it up and if anyone would like to try this go for it! It is kind of interesting to see what turns up!

  3. pg. 123 of When Women Walk Alone by Cinci McMenamin:
    And in all the stories, I’m convinced that even though life might look at times like it’s spinning out of control, there’s a God who knows what He’s doing. He’s weaving a lesson, preparing a promise, readying a revelation of Himself…He’s writing His glory story.

  4. Page 123 Calm My Anxions Heart by Linda Dillow
    All our fret and worry are caused by calculating without God. When we worry, we’re saying, “God can’t.” If we are walking in anxiety, we’re not walking in faith. We want to be women of faith, yet often worry becomes our middle name. We know the agony of its clutches. We’re familiar with the small trickle of fear that meanders through our minds until it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained. We MUST conquer this “God can’t” disease.

  5. The title of the book should have read Calm My Anxious Heart instead of Anxions Heart. :-)
    And, I love the tote.
