Inspiring My Best Friend

I am visiting my best friend who lives in a town nearby. I love her. I don't see her that often since she moved to another town, but I enjoy every time I do. 

This time I was on a mission to teach her how to sew. She got a sewing machine as a gift and she wanted to learn how to use it.

After practicing basics on the old fabric I decided to teach her how to make a flower. 


I can say that she caught it pretty fast. Of course, she is a very smart woman (soon to be married - how exciting!)


You see how she is making a straight stitch? What can I say? She is natural! :)


Ta daaaa! Flower is done and she is proudly showing it :) Exciting!


Her flower looks so pretty :) I am a proud friend :) She is all excited about sewing now. Since she is all into indoor decor she dreams to make fun curtains, table cloths and of course flowers that could be attached pretty much on anything :) 

After seeing some fun tutorial blogs and websites it was difficult for her to actually fall asleep last night 'cause she had all those ideas running through her head. :) This morning, after I asked her what was that she made last night, she answered: "Curtains!" :) He he, its fun to be creative and to inspire others to be creative as well.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Fabrics

I love fabrics... different colors, designs, textures... they are yummy :) Recently I bought some fabrics for my sewing projects and then I discovered all other fabrics that I actually had at home. It is exciting, and I am looking forward to start using it.


I especially like colorful Michal Miller cotton fabrics that I recently bought. I love it! They are so bright, fun and happy :)

But I realized that in all that excitement I need to be careful and patient. I should not rush things. I should learn carefully all I need to know before starting a project because I do want it to look perfect. I like things that I do to be perfect, so that I can say: "It is good" :) But of course, I will be merciful with myself if some don't come out to be perfect as I desired. Its just not worth the stress :)

 Thank you Jesus for creating all wonderful colors, flowers and other beautiful things. You truly are creative God and I am created on your image. Thank you! You are beautiful!! Awesome!! Amazing!! Glorious!! Mighty!! Astonishing!! Breathtaking!! Majestic!! All powerful!! Wonderful!! Splendid!! Magnificent!! Marvelous God!! I love you!!
