"You will love this machine" is what the warranty read 28 years ago when I bought it new, and I have. It quit working and I bought a wonderful replacement, but I didn't realize how hard it would be to throw out the old one. I realized its not the machine, but what it represents, that makes it so hard. Doll clothes, kid clothes, crafts, quilts, drapes, mending, tote bags etc... but it doesn't work anymore, so why keep it? So much of the new God offers and I want to hold on to the old, just because its familiar. I am learning to use the new machine, and she purrs like a dream. There will be so many new and wonderful things to sew on it. I am willing to learn the new machine for the benefits, and I am learning to let go of the old. I let go of the familiar in my life to let God take me to the new. Good things ahead!

Latest find
This travel scrabble game caught my eye at the Goodwill, because I can't resist new, miniture, cheap treasures! It still had the plastic on everything and the original pencil. It took me a long time to turn over all the letters and find the one "V". The other delight was finding a quilt instruction book, with over 50 beautiful patterns. I loved this one called "Freddy's House". I plan on making it for my grandson that I may have one day... I can dream!!!

Promise
The event of a craft magazine arriving in the mail, is the promise of creativity for me. I just cant wait to relax and read it from cover to cover. This one was a gift from my sister (she love me) and every month I get to dream about creating something new, and even do a little cooking, well baking, if the mood strikes.

Priceless..
"Look around what could i do. this place is unfamiliar and new. So I try to look beyond whats right in front of me. Hope to be found how could this be true. Comfort came and left in such a hurry. So then whats on the other side of this tragedy.
You wake up to find that you re right where you are supposed to be. Trapped in the uncertainly each days mystery. You wake up to find that you re right where you're supposed to be. the Past is unveiled you see you're right where you're meant to be.
Look behind oh how we've grown. All the places we've been. the places I'll never never go back again. If i had only known that all was not lost. It always comes around again round again round again. Patiently waiting just waiting.
til one day you find that you're right were you are supposed to be. Trapped in uncertainty each days a mystery. You wake up to find that you're right where you're supposed to be. the past is unveiled and you see you're right where you're meant to b.e
Now I see the reasons to all of those seasons wondering just how my life would connect. My life would connect but you knew all along all along.
