That's a lesson that I'm not very good at learning, which means that instead of being subtle, God has to hit me over the head with it.<br /><br />I'm very impressed with your reupholstering. The thought of reupholstering something simultaneously intrigues me and terrifies me!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285185619015613888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-72262970000719746062010-07-13T05:42:33.248-05:002010-07-13T05:42:33.248-05:00You are so gifted at this kind of stuff!

FABULOUS job. I have two things to slipcover, and I have never known how to do it. I know that I can pin. I know I can sew. How I take these two into a slipcover, I will have to ask my talented friend! So glad you enjoyed your week - and, maybe WE need to do that...say it's good for a marriage, right? :-)Ashley Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621160848819871470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-42985720935073965892010-07-12T18:27:29.317-05:002010-07-12T18:27:29.317-05:00I love it!

It is a process of sanctification. And although we cannot turn back the clock and redo, we can learn and grow and it feels good to let some things go! Oh, actually, LOTS of things go!! :) <br /><br />I recently had the house ALL TO MYSELF (for nearly THREE days) and I got LOTS done, but not the WHOLE list. It used to be that I would be upset with what there was still left to do, but this time, by God's GRACE, I actually focused on what HAD been DONE and enjoyed the homecoming of the children and their Daddy! Oh, I am thankful for the process of learning and growing the LORD has me on. I would NEVER go back unless I could take the new growth with me! :)<br /><br />Have a lovely, busy, fun-filled week with those lovely children of yours!<br /><br />With Love,<br />CamilleCamillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838089502798643241noreply@blogger.com
