Over the years, Mommy has been teaching us girls how to sew. Proverbs 31:13 says, “She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.” We all enjoy sewing with our hands and are grateful for Mommy’s encouragement.

{craft} Some of the things we crochetedA couple months ago we found out about a craft fair that was being put on in our neighborhood. Jennifer and Sarah have been diligently making many different items out of fabric. They decided to try selling items that they were making. They made winter hats, fleece blankets, casserole carriers, oven mitts, wash cloths, and more.

{craft} A basket of potholders, ready to go!We had a lot of fun. I enjoyed watching all the people come by. The Lord answered our prayer and gave us a very good place for our table. We met several very sweet ladies who were also selling things. The whole afternoon was a big blessing to us. We learned a lot and look forward to maybe going to another craft fair.

Afterwards, Joshua, Sarah, Adam, and Markie helped clean up the clubhouse. It was neat having everyone work together as a team. It is a joy to serve others.

This is one web site Jennifer is using to look for local craft fairs: www.craftlister.com .
