It has been so very cold here.  Just the perfect weather for snow, if only it would.  Early in the weekend we were down to two degrees.  Brrrr.  Thus I did not get out into the garage all weekend as I would have liked.  However, I did get some C&C cleaning up done.

I have a corner in my bedroom (don't we all) where my totes and boxes of sewing stuffs reside.  I have, with God's help, emptied a tote and two boxes from that corner.  It feels so good to see it shrink.  I have also determined to use fabric I have rather than buying for sewing projects.  In fact, I am making a blanket for my nephew.  I wanted to try a flannel rag quilt, but didn't have enough flannel of colors and patterns I had in mind.  I was about to go buy some, when I remembered some cute dinosaur fabric I bought for my son, a few years ago, that he decided he was to big for.  So now, I have a cute blanket under construction and with some scraps of lining material (used previously for Easter vests for my son) to make triangles for a boarder.

Yesterday I did go out into the garage for an hour or so.  Brought in three boxes and whittled them down to one - which is full of things that have a place to go.

I love seeing my keep piles growing smaller and the get rid of pile growing larger!  It feels very good, very liberating.  My sister recently informed me of a family whose home burned to the ground.  I have SO much stuff that will be of help and use to them and it is already in boxes for transport!  Praise the LORD, He made a place for this already!  He is so good!

"Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), proving what is acceptable to the Lord."
