A Busy Weekend

Happy Monday friends! 

The weekend was good. I went to Yorktown Friday to pick up my online order. I had bought six one-yard cuts (the ones on the left)

and they were $6.00, so I ended up getting six more. I can always use neutrals, but I prefer to see them in person before I buy them. She also had some of last year’s Christmas fabrics on clearance. I limited myself to three two-yard cuts. The gray one will be a border on a panel I have had for a few years. I like the panels, but I am often stuck on what to do with them. 

This one is a border print.

My plan is to use it for a table runner, but I don’t know for sure. Anyway, quite a bit of fabric for a little over $100, so it was worth the trip. 

My church women’s group had a retreat on Saturday. It was very nice. We had some guest speakers and some good fellowship. One of the ladies did a sound bath. 

It was my first time to experience that. It is actually for stress relief. It’s very calming; almost hypnotic. We also had a workshop on faith journaling. It was led by Melanie, our church secretary. It was like junk journaling with a biblical basis. A couple of the ladies shared their faith journals so we could get ideas. I didn’t take pictures of them, but they are something like this. 

Melanie gave us a package of goodies to get us started. 

I’m really not sure where to start, but I saved my church bulletin from this week and from last week, so I can cut out the Apostle’s Creed and the Nicene Creed. I think a profession of faith would be a good starting place. 

We had a soup and sandwiches lunch. Becky made a hearty pasta fagioli soup.

Becky, Gloria, and I went to the Our Lady of Lourdes fall festival after church on Sunday and ate turkey and dressing. They also had Vietnamese food available, and I bought a plate of that to bring home. I’ll eat it tonight. 

Tomorrow I will take my mom to Sugarland for her heart procedure. They are implanting a “watchman” device in her left atrial aorta. That is where the blood clots typically form, and she should be able to stop taking blood thinners once it is done. It’s amazing what they can do now; of course, they won’t do it in Victoria, so we have to travel.
