My First Fabric Handbag
This is my first attempt at making a fabric handbag. There were some challenges with making this bag. I did learn how to make the next handbag better. As with everything sewing is a learning process and the more you do the better I will get.

Mad for Zippers
Lately I have become obsessed with zippers. I find myself buying three or four every time I go to Jo-Ann but I am finding that at 2 bucks a pop is it starting to take a toll on my pocketbook. I then found this etsy supplier: kandcsupplies that I can buy zippers for less than $.50 each which is SOOOOOO much cheaper. Know I just have to figure out what colors I want, hmmmmm…….

Insights from Daily Bible Study–May 24, 2012
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. I John 1:7 (NIV)
During my reading last night there was a lot of passages about light and darkness. We should walk in the light for HE is in the light and not be clouded by darkness. Also in this passage it mentions having fellowship with one another. We talked about in Sunday school a couple of weeks ago that some people think they can worship with out being in the body of Christ. Speaking for personal experience when you are not going to church regular or being in fellowship with other believers it is so much easier to slip into a sinful life. Since I have been attending church regularly I find that I am striving more for daily Bible study, being more discerning about what I watch and listen to, and just trying to live a more God honoring life.

Insights from Daily Bible Study–May 22, 2012
Matthew 6:19-21
19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
It is so easy in today’s materialistic society to get caught up with accumulating the latest and greatest. But in the end it is all just junk that will rust, rot, and decay. We need to be focusing our attention on the eternal and not what we have in the here and now.

Insights from Daily Bible Study–May 21, 2012
Starting today I am going to start posting passages and insights from my daily Bible study. This will help keep me accountable to keep up with my studying but also share what I have learned. Here is the lesson I learned from what I read last night:
Matthew 5:13-16
13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
It has always been a struggle for me to show to other non-believers that I am a Christian. This affirms that we are display to others that we are different, not hide under a rock. I am going to make an effort with I am out in the world to be a light on a hill and not hidden under a bowl.
