What a sweet heart potato! :)

Today my Lord died for me. Halleluhia!
I thank God everyday for my blessed life. I'm not rich, don't live in a mansion and don't have the nicest of material things, but, I'm healthy, have  a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food on my table, a family that loves me and lifelong friends to get me through. I'd say I have a lot to be thankful for, AMEN

Snow in april

Now really!!!!!
8" of snow on our pic-nic table! Come on!

Welcome our little singing group - Manitoulin Choristers, as our leader Marilyn calls us. We formed about two months ago, and have been rehearsing each Sunday since.
We had our debut performance at the two churches - St. Paul's and Knox United -  in our town on Palm Sunday. Apparently it went well. We had on black with a colourful scarf as our "costume". And after the super ladies at Knox gave us coffee and goodies. So welcoming!   Unfortunately the weather was not good, but a group of brave souls came out anyway.

Hi on this rainy day before Palm Sunday.
This is a rag bag I made for the store from a suggestion by a friend in my choir. She said every one came up to her and remarked on the one she has. So I thought i might make some to sell. It took a while so may be a one of!! LOL.

It's been a long time since I posted. I have been working!!! Sounds really funny at 64!
I had 4 days last week, and found it very challenging at first. But the folks there are very helpful and supportive. The first few days were spent getting used to a professional satin stitch machine - it goes like the wind! But lovely! Now that I have the bobbin loader, threading and slow mode figured out, I should be better appliqueing on the bag flaps.
I had a cat to applique - my favourite thing - with many little pieces, but it finally took shape - the best one yet.
I am also still working on my articles for the store. The bag is filling up with goodies to sell. I have already sold my Sachiko pillow to a neighbour - so made another one. And a friend in the choir I am in, asked me to make a denim apron the same as her favourite. That is done now, so I can get back to making more casserole carriers. There is never an end to sewing these days - wonderful!
Well have a good day - now that spring is finally here -the sun is shining today - must go have lunch with my friends at Green Acres restaurant and trailer park. It burned down last summer, and is finally up and running again. We are so glad to have it back. The food is great, and the atmosphere is friendly. And the roast beef - marvelous!!
