I completed Weeks 7 & 8 in my purple quilt-a-long quilt. I’m getting closer to catching up. Is anyone besides me behind?

This afternoon I spent making my sister a hobbit costume for the LOTR marathon/party we will be having at church this Friday night. Now if you know my sister you would know that she is OBSESSED with Lord of the Rings. I do not say that lightly. Before she would even ask you your name she would ask you if you liked Lord of the Rings. So she organized this LOTR party with our Pastor. And of course she needed a costume. I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. The shirt was just a random shirt she had in her closet. The pants were an old pair of sweatpants that I cut shorter and added elastic to. The vest was made by myself out of fabric scraps I had. It is even lined. It all came together well I think.

You Are: 50% Dog, 50% Cat

You are a nice blend of cat and dog. You’re playful but not too needy. And you’re friendly but careful. And while you have your moody moments, you’re too happy to stay upset for long.

Are You More Cat or Dog?

I love this blog because it has really challenged me as a woman of God and especially during this time of being single of really trusting God and serving Him at this time in my life and not constantly desiring marriage now but using the time I have been given at this stage in my life.

This blog is great. I love the projects Chara Michele has worked on. Some of them are so simple and yet unique at the same time. I would love to bundle up with one of her scarfs one of these cold winter nights.

I think this project is so unique and different. I love it! It would be the perfect present for a young teen or preteen girl.

If you have never heard Beth Moore you don’t know what you are missing. I have done two Beth Moore Bible studies and they are awesome. They really get you digging deep into the word. I very much recommend participating in one if you have the opportunity. Beth Moore also speaks every Wednesday on Life Today and you can see the past episodes at the Life Today website. They are great!

1. First off this week I am thankful for my family. Especially my parents and the strong faith that have installed in us through example, love, and discipline. I am thankful that they have taught us to serve the Lord through our individual talents. I am thankful for my brother Andrew who is serving the Lord and his country in the Marines and who is currently at boot camp.

2. I am also thankful for my church family who weekly encourages and loves on me. I am grateful to God for setting up his church and for placing me into a strong body of believers where I can use my talents to serve.

3. Feed Readers! LOL. I don’t think I could ever keep up with reading the blogs I love without a reader. I use Google Reader.

4. Paperback Swap has been awesome. Not only am I able to get rid of books and pick up a few for myself but I’ve been able to get lots of books for our church library at a reasonable price.

5. Audra, Missy & Christina – the coffee shop gals, friends, and Beth Moore wannabes. Love you guys!

I’m falling behind on my quilt-a-long quilts. But here is week 6 for my purple quilt. Half of this quilt is now completed as you can see.

You Are A Green Girl

You feel most at home in a world of ideas. You’re curious and logical – and enjoy a good intellectual challenge. You’re super cool, calm, and collected. Very little tries your patience. Your only fear? People not realizing how smart and able you are!

What Color Girl Are You?
