Ordination Stole


Bear asked me to make this for Sunday. I messed up the first one, making my own pattern wasn't easy. It's just a sash, straight lines, how hard can it be? I ask.

Well, the second one turned out better, plus I made it reversible with purple for advent season.

I like it.

I'll be a proud wife of my Ordained Pastor husband on Sunday. Wow, that sounds so strange. I'm now married to the clergy. Or rather, I will be after February 8th at 11 am.

BTW, the brick wall that we ran into see here, wasn't so much a brick wall afterall, more like a mountain to be climbed, and we are scaling it's heights right now.

I just wanted to let you know that I have been, and will continue to, pray for you guys as you scale that mountain you mentioned. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be. Please keep me updated on how it goes. Much love to you, Meredith

I understand the "how hard can it be" stole question. I also made my dh's ordination stole (which is also used for installations/ordinations of fellow pastors, confirmation and reformation). I ended up making two as well. How exciting for you all.

I have been thinking of your family as God creates plans for you, plans to prosper and not harm you... Praying the wall is not so high to scale...

Blessings!

You'll make it Mary. You are always blessed. Mountains are just opportunities to strengthen our faith. We love you guys. Good luck.

Mare, You guys have been through SO much. But, I believe in you ...you are very strong, and mom says, "you always land on your feet". I think that is a great compliment! If anyone can scale that mountain, YOU CAN! Love, Nin

Congratulations! Hubby was lucky. He was given a whole set of stoles. Much better than if I'd made them!
What a wonderful gift!

4-H Modeling and the Wardrobe Malfunction

Sincerely 'fro me to you and Vintage Thingies Thursday ! Kristen over at We are THAT family has a blogging carnival going on Thursdays, and she asked for bloggers to share a story from our past, something that won't probably make it into a scrapbook because we can't find our crinkle-cut scizzors or some mouse peed on the pictures or whatever reason. Apron Queen also has a carnival goin on called Vintage Thingies Thursday, I thought since I am so good at multi-tasking, I'd roll two posts into one and call this story both; an embarrassing story from my past as well as vintage. Now if you think that those bangs aren't vintage, and that, "Oh My! Would you look at that zipper!" I don't know what is! So, this is my story... Fall 1978, it was the beginning of my modeling “career.” It all began at the Western Idaho Fair, on the exhibitor’s building main stage, or rather behind the main stage. There I was waiting for an absolutely dreamy Junior Future Farmers...

Two Tasks

How hard can it be, I ask? I had two things to do before I put the boys down for a nap. I gathered my keys and the trash and out the door I went, hurrying so that Boo wouldn't be climbing on the baker's rack before I came back inside. Or maybe calling China on my cell phone. Run outside, do the jobs, come back in. Quick. I put the dirty diaper in the mailbox.

As if I didn't have enough on my plate...(that must be the understatement of the year)I'm jumping in. I was just going to sit back and watch the clues unfold. But I've gotten sucked in! I'm doing this. I love Bonnie Hunter's quilts. They are everything that appeals to me, colorful, scrappy, frugal with lots of great details. I love her motto about "ugly" fabrics, "If it's still ugly, you just didn't cut it small enough!" Once the first clue came out I knew I had to play along. I love green and pink together. It is all over my house in different shades and combinations. My poor husband has to sleep in a froo-froo bedroom. Which he does willingly to keep my happy. (The first time I saw him, he was wearing a pink Izod button down shirt.) [swoon!] Yet, I digress. So, I'll post my progress here. I'll put up a picture as soon as step one is completed. Ok, I'm excited now! Eating is overrated, isn't it? "It's Campbell...
