“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

The sweet little room.........exploded !

Nah, not really, but you can either have it NEAT, or you can get some inspiration and work going,  am I right?

I figured out a design that I wanted to use for a baby quilt that is needed for an anticipated September arrival, so I dragged out the appropriate fabrics (thanks once again to Jodie Ann's leftovers), and got to work yesterday.  Well, it didn't take long for the room to look like a bomb had been dropped on it.  But,  inspiration reigns !

On the other side of the coin, I am just jumping with excitement and anticipation of a couple of my dearest Oklahoma galpals arriving this week to stay overnight on their long drive home.  My husband asked yesterday, in front of his 59 year-old nephew, "honey, are you going to straighten up this mess before your friends arrive?"   REALLY?

LORD, I know that you set the solitary in families, and I am blessed to have been married to this man for over 35 years now, but........REALLY?  Where do they get these questions?  I think maybe it is because they were formed from the dust of the earth, and we were formed from good substantial BONE, albeit theirs.  I don't know, but we surely are different.

Anyway, never fear, Wanda and Terri........you are welcomed with open arms, a picked up home, and hopefully, LORD willing, a big pot of that Chicken and Dumplings that we used to enjoy during our quiltathons !

Then, next week, we'll think about this quilt.......
