See, here I am! I did not fall off the planet after all!

I am so thankful that fall is upon us as there is nothing like a season change to bring freshness and a new perspective on things. I feel like that is where I am right now. I just finished up two large projects (that is where I have been) and so it feels as though it is time to start again fresh and new on things that have been waiting their turn and things that have yet to be dreamed.

I had the crazy opportunity to speak on Sabbath a few weeks ago (on our church’s Women’s Retreat) so much of my time went into preparing for that. Speaking in public is not really a favorite pass time of my but I do feel that God gave me wisdom and courage to do what He had called me to.

The second thing that has been going on around here is that I have been making a dress! Not just any dress though, it is a dress for a friend who is renewing her wedding vows this weekend! I was pretty much blown away that she asked me to make it. I have never made a dress for anyone over the age of four, I have never made sleeves, I have never sewn with materials other than cotton (okay a time or two but they were small projects for the kids) but still she strongly felt that I was the one to make it. Wow! It has been an incredible experience to launch into! It has been hard at times but really rewarding as well to see the whole dress come together. God again gave me wisdom and courage to accomplish a task that He had called me to. I am super excited to share pictures with you but you will have to wait until this weekend after the big event occurs.

So, that is where I have been. I hope to pop in a little more regularly now. Sorry for disappearing like that on you who were concerned. Thank you for checking in on me. I just got a bit overwhelmed with my full plate there for a bit!

HAPPY FALL!!!
