Okay, remember I said that I had two pieces of good news to share this week?  Well, here is the first one:  We have our FIRST Small Business sponsor!!!  He has agreed to an initial gift of $100.  And an ongoing gift of $50.00 per week for the first 4 weeks, and $25.00 a week for 6 months.  After that, he will re-evaluate his giving and our needs and we'll go from there.

Isn't that just a GREAT BIG BLESSING!!!!  Wow.  God's grace is unending.  So, let me take a minute to say thank you to our sponsor (who chooses to remain anonymous, or I'd have his name posted all over this site), and say that we still need 4 or 5 more to maintain our charity.  However, this is a BLESSING post, so I just want to bask in the Glory that God has led this man to us, and how He leads is how we will follow. 

I will mention that I didn't know this fellow -- in fact, he is from a different state.  However, it was because someone that I did know share our needs with him that our sponsor decided to come along and work by our side.  Although he couldn't give a specific, he could give a gift of money and a gift of prayer.  Both of those gifts are welcomed!  Yay!

I've been so blessed this week, both personally and spiritually.  I have seen miraculous wonders and know that the week has just began.   I want to personally thank EVERYONE who continues to support us through prayers.  Prayers change things!!!  I look forward to sharing many blessings with you in days to come.

We continue to be in need of a sewing machine, so please keep that in your thoughts.  We continue to need fabric coming in (so that I will have enough to fill the "back orders" we have coming through).  I call them backorders -- but how can someone "order" something through us?  Well, they can't, really.  It would be more appropriate to call them "back requests".  People who have asked me for bags and other things.  And I take their name down, and tell them as soon as we get a machine, we'll get these right out to them.   Anyway, my list is long.  So, if you're led by God, now is a good time to send. 

I've started taking pictures of my studio, and will promise to post a WAY better tutorial -- I'm so embarrassed of the one I posted that I want to take it down from the website because it doesn't capture the quality of work we produce -- and will promise to post more pictures of past projects.  Today, I'm posting a picture of my daughter, because she just looks so happy and I feel as happy as she looks!  I should try to figure out how to quilt that picture.  I have seen other people quilt pictures.  I'm not to that skill, and of course, it'd be last on my "to do" list, but I'd like to keep this picture of my happy daughter in my mind.  I'm on top of the world knowing that, because of *you* the reader, we are making a difference in this world. 

Love in Christ,
