WOYWW: Sewing Mode

It's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday time and there's not much to see on my desk, just my sewing box and a few pieces of clothing.  I often stitch red thread in the labels of my clothes to help our laundry woman differentiate them from my daughter's clothes. 

Lots of you liked the WOYWW sign my son made and were surprised that he actually knew about WOYWW.  I was surprised, too!

Here's a page from my prayer journal that I made last Christmas season.  It's what Christmas is really all about, isn't it?  Happy WOYWW!

WOYWW: Celebrating 40 Years

Last week, the shocking news of WOYWWer Eliza Queenartoypia's sudden passing brought sadness all the way to the Philippines.  Although we never even met, she would sometimes drop by my blog and I would sometimes drop by hers.  That's the way it is in What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday. You get to peek at desks and make blog friends around the world.

This year (this weekend to be exact) our prayer community, Ang Ligaya ng Panginoon is celebrating 40 years of God's faithfulness.  My daughter, Elyse designed the 40th year logo (with our community logo in the zero).  

Every year we have a parade of banners.  This year, there will be 40 banners!  They gave me the words to put and asked me to design the banner and have it made.  Here it is, folded on my desk. No, I did not sew it.  I'm sure Annie would have done an excellent job of it! Here is the design I made.

God has blessed me greatly through our community and as I looked for a journal illustration to share today, this is what I found.  Indeed, how can I ever make a fair return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me?  Impossible. 

Thank you for dropping by today!

WOYWW: Inspiration

Is it just me or are the days flying by so quickly for you, too?  Seems like it was just Wednesday and now it is time to post again for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday!  Here is some pretty paper packaging that I saved from a box of some Japanese sweets...

I will use it for collaging and for inspiration to draw some flowers.  More inspiration to be found in this new book I bought from a Filipino author, Abbey Sy...

 and a journal illustration for Word Art Wednesday with some hand lettering inspired by the book...

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."  

What a wonderful reminder from scripture! Thank you for dropping by, dear blog friends!  Be blessed!
