Today's Thought

"Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character. Only you could do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. So be careful. At this critical time of life you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity. Make them wisely and prayerfully."

Grandma's Tree skirt

Next...

Before I finished my first tree skirt I had to go get the material for the back of it sooo....
while I was there I got enough material for the
front AND back
for more tree skirts.

This one I made for my mom.
It was a lot faster and cheaper to just buy several colors and NOT do the charms.

This still turned out cute.


However...

While I was happily sewing the batting on I got about 3/4 of the way done and realized....

I LEFT THE BACK OFF!!!

Gah!

So I went ahead and sewed the batting on and then went back and sewed the back on.

Thus giving me this cute serpentine stitch on the back


and the front in between the straight stitchs.

Then I added this cute binding on.

Sometimes when life throws you lemons (or when you mess up on your own)
You make lemonade.
