Slow Computers

Today I have been waiting on a computer for most of the day. 

Trying to play a song that a friend sent me and waiting 


                  and waiting 
                                         and waiting...


Checking my email and waiting 
                                    and waiting 
                                            and waiting...


Trying to delete files to speed up my sister's computer and waiting 
                                                                                    and waiting 
                                                                                         and waiting...


Why is it that when you want the computer to go fast, it always goes slower?

Right now, I am waiting on the computer...again...

So you people who follow my blog, you can thank the computer for being so slow because I have time to make another blog post! :)

I am not going to be doing much crafts for a few weeks because I need to study for our end of the year tests but this means that I might have more time for blog posts because I am not doing any crafts but then I will not have any new crafts to write about! Oh well. :)




A few weeks ago, I started creating a Cinderella scene inside an empty pumpkin shell. It isn't finished yet and I don't know if it ever will be finished but I took a few pictures of it so I am going to share them. :)

Sewing and more Sewing! :)

I am going to finally post something!

In my last post, I mentioned that I started sewing 18" doll clothes. Now I am selling them as well!

I had a booth at a local conference for three days and sold most of my inventory which was about 40 outfits! I had great fun visiting with the other expo hall people and seeing what hobbies/crafts other people do. For example, guns that shoot marshmallows, necklaces that are made with bullet shells, beautiful paintings, and decorated hats!

One of the weirdest happenings was when I was taking down my booth. This man came up and asked if I was the owner of the booth, I said yes and he handed me a five dollar bill! The thoughts running through my head went something like this:
"Why a five dollar bill?"
"Maybe I dropped one and he wants to return it?"
"No, I have run through my records, I still have the right amount"
"WHY???"

As though he read my thoughts, he said, "I have been praying and feel led by the Lord to give the owner of this booth five dollars"

With questions still running through my head, I accepted it and said thank you.

No, what does a person do with five dollars that she didn't earn? Give it away of course! So, I found the booth of Gospel for Asia (www.gfa.org) and handed it to them.

That episode over, I proceeded to our mini van and attempted to load books from the book sale my mom went to, everything for my siblings booth (www.tasteforhealth.blogspot.com), all the stuff from my booth, and seven people!!!

Needless to say, we couldn't get it all in, we had to put some of the stuff in another family's car.

We got home and went to bed as soon as we could get the van unloaded and eat dinner.

Well, now I am REALLY tired and am going to bed VERY soon!

Overdue Update

 Wow, lots has happened since my last post. I am now making doll clothes in big quantities. Did I say big? I meant HUGE! My goal is to make 40 garments before December 3rd. I don't know how I well I will do with that, but so far I am on track!
 I have also made more miniature dolls, fancy boxes for packaging products, and more jewelry, as well as cooking two meals a day for my whole family and keeping up with school and chores!
 That said, I have been a bit too busy to write any posts and this one is going to have to be short. :(

The song called Glory is an amazing song. See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TiheIzes-Y

Every Good Gift

My new profile picture, I took a picture and edited it with Gimp. Isn't it amazing how much you can change an image to look like something completely different? The bible verse on it:

James 1:17 (King James Version)  ¹⁷Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

My First

So, this is my first post! Not sure how to do it, but I am sure that I can learn! :) So I will start by giving my first project that I have on my computer. One of my 4-H projects and necklace called "Wild Orchid". This amazingly ingenuitive necklace/brooch looks like a necklace, but if you take the chain off. It has a pin back so that you can use it for a brooch. The chain is about 8 1/2 inches long. The brooch is about 2 inches wide, Altogether it measures about 10 1/2 inches long. I made this for a 4-H project and got Reserve Champion with it. It is for sale here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/62543026/wild-orchid-necklacebrooch
