Motivational Monday, Week 37

Motivational Monday, Week 37

 

Take the attititude of a student, never be too big to ask questions,

never know too much to learn something new.

-Og Mandino

 

This past weekend, I had the chance to travel to a photography convention with three friends.

 

 

We spent three days learning,

 

 

practicing,

 

 

and having a good time.

You never know when you're making a memory.

-Rickie Lee Jones

 

Within the past month, I was asked thru Etsy if I'd be willing and able

 to make 350 blankets for the Maple Grove Hospital's Baby Ball Event.

(It's a small world. Maple Grove is near where I grew up.)

 

After consulting my husband, I agreed to do it.

Once I had ordered all the fabric I needed,

I only had two weeks to get them all done.

 

Once I thought I was ready to start, I ran into a few hiccups.

I forgot to order more able mabel tags to put on each blanket.

One whole bolt of fabric went thru the wash with an ink pen, ruining it, so I had to order more.

My wholesale supplier of green minky didn't have enough in stock

so I had to order it from a different source, adding a week to the ship time.

So realistically, once I really was ready to start,

I was down to a week before my deadline.

I put in several long days at my sewing machine.

Luckily, on the last day I had my oldest girls help me.

We got them all done in no time!

This picture didn't show up very well on the blog.

I took it from my instagram account.

The finished stack, all ready to box up and ship out!

The stacks went up past my knees when I stood next to them.

Oh, the things you learn when you take on a project

of this magnitude with such a short turnaround time!

But, I got it done and I'll always remember it!
 

Someone else is happy I'm done!

When you finally go back to your old hometown,

 you find it wasn't the old home you missed but your childhood.
-Sam Ewing

 

 

And the things that bring back memories of your childhood.

Party Pizza = slumber party and all the awesome memories that go with it.

Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

-Leo Buscaglia

 

Some talents start young.

This little Loves is always singing.

I hope it's something she never stop doing.
