Treading water or Walking on water?

Treading water: you stay in the same place; survival mode (tiring)

Walking on water: you move around, preferably forward;  progress mode;

(invigorating, exciting)

 

Remember to ask for help if you start to sink.

So, are you treading or walking on water?

Christmas 2011: first batch

 

Followed by more over the summer (2012) - bought a special crown cutter in recognition of the Diamond Jubilee

New cutters from Ealing - the tiara and the airplane

A miracle in hospital, August 28th



Spina bifida left her with a sac over her face instead of the usual place along the spine.... after surgery, what a sweet face underneath....

Seeing her before and after totally took my breath away. She is about 20 days old.

The wound is healing well; it will fade considerably - the picture above is just after surgery.

(She lives in an orphanage which a good friend of ours is in contact with, co-ordinating medical services for the children who live there.)

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27

 

Finally, a quilt is born!

Thanks to Mum's trusty Singer and Marike kindly lending me her sewing machine this summer, I have realised a long cherished ambition to make a quilt.  This one is for Jonathan and another one is on the way for Julia.
