Closing for two weeks

It is time for us to get packed up and headed to Texas. I've been busy ignoring the packing, instead spending my time working on new releases, so look for some new designs to come out in December. It is so strange to think of how in just five weeks time our life has taken such a dramatic turn. I am trusting God, that it is His plan, but there are moments when my humanness comes out and I struggle with the loss of being in such an amazing community. There have been a lot of goodbyes, a lot of tears, and a lot of hopeful expectation for the new steps in our journey of faith.

Today I was sent a picture of a finish by a kind lady named Joanna. She merged two of my patterns together to make a completely unique and stunning gift for her mom. With her permission I am delighted to share her finish:

With that I say...

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, good night,
I want to stitch, but will pack the boxes tight.
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, adieu,
Adieu, adieu, to leave just makes me blue.

But I will trust and count the many blessings with gratefulness :-) I will be closed until November 21 in order to make the transition.
