Prepare a space for her to come

I spent $25 on this second hand glider. And thought about I could make the glider more comfortable for myself. I asked one of my church friends, Amy, taught me how to make the glider pad cases and cushion cases. It was so fun to sew with her and talked about so many different sewing projects that she wanted to do during this year while her husband is gone for deployment. I learned so much.

I went to thrift store bought the fabrics for all the projects and I was lucky to find two different cute patterns and only spent $3. I was just happy that I could find something in pink.

The second project is making a pink "outfit" for this baby playpen.

My mom also sew a diapers stacker which I handed on the playpen edge. It lookes very cute.

comfy and cute!

My mom called it "big watermelon"

A friend who recently started her photography business asked me to be her model.

From these pictures, I looked like I am holding a big wartermelon. Haha!

It will be nice if David is here and take these pictures with me.

I like this picture. Solomon looks so handsome.

The first day of school

She is waiting for this day for so long. She is excited and ready to learn with her teacher and the classmates. Her goal for this year is whatever she learns she is going to teach Solomon. So he can be ready for school when he is 5 years old.

I am so excited for her to learn how to be a great example to her classmates and be a peace maker and a good learner. I am also looking forward to learning with her side by side in this following year. At the mean time, I get to spend one on one time with Solomon. It will be good for him, too. This morning when I went through some of the important things about school with Faith, Solomon was already like a student and raised his hand and called me "Teacher"!!

Using the talent I have been given to serve His children

I put a lot effort on making this project for my visiting teachee, Rachael. She and her husband were ten-year inactive member of the church. After several times of visiting with my companion and giving her this simple gift with full of my love. She was able to open her heart little by little and thinking about buying a Sunday dress and become active agin. It happened just right before we moved to Hawaii.

I was inspired to use the quote from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland which is "Good Things to Come" as picture theme and came out this idea and completed the drawing.

This is the final project.

There is the note book which I pasted the 14 quotes from conference talk in each back of the page. It can be using as a journal for inspiriations or a daily reminder for someone who needs to be nurturing in one's soul like Rachael.

While I was doing this I felt that God was with me and I want to use my talent which is given from God and draw a lot more to share God's love with those who need it.
