My protege

Molly has been embroidering up a storm here. Wait until I show you the quilt she's working on! I made this little pillow but we both agreed it was too plain, so she absconded with it and added her own special touch. She doesn't have her own blog (being all of 11 yrs, that makes sense), so she's been begging me to showcase it here. :) This is the finished product:

I'm recovering from a weekend of strep. Thankfully we caught it early so the downtime was shortened and it looks like no one else caught it. Being sick all weekend left me in the wake of no housework for several days, so today will be a true catch-up day. There is a lot going on in our little family, even more in the church at large, and all of it needs prayer and proactivity on my part. I did make it to the evening service last night and the sermon was on the danger of doing nothing. Very inspiring...I'm off to do something.

First of all, the pillow looks marvelous (and the material looks vaguely familiar...). You're an amazing big sister!

Secondly, I hope your protege will be a huge help on your Catch Up Day.

Thirdly, I'm glad you're feeling better (and that you didn't give it to your little sister.)

Love you both!
MOM
