Sews2Reap

Where to begin? So much has changed in less than a year. Here is what has happened since moving to Kansas in September of 2018. 1. I am no longer teaching sewing in the classroom. (insert tears here) I still hope to teach again. I love it and miss it. A few attempts at video tutorials have been made. I am still figuring it all out. The editing software has made it very frustrating and I need to get the videos more polished. You can see what I have been working on here:  Sewing and Such 2. Some of my time has been spent staying with my parents and helping my sister out in the country. I have always done this, but there have been some surgeries, etc in the last few months.  I can't explain how being in this particular place with my family recharges me.  Stunning sunset at the ranch. 3. As always with moving we had to set up new doctors and dentists. But having a child with a rare disease makes changing doctors an event. We have been traveling from Oklaho...

Our house in Oklahoma is now occupied by a new family. We have been staying with our family for six days now. Eight more days of being a transient to go! We are so thankful that the time between houses was shortened by a week and we are now closing five days earlier.  Here is what we are doing during this time of floating. 3 days of packing and loading I prepared for the packers by grouping items together in the rooms I wanted them associated with. I put all my diffusers together in the kitchen (except the one I packed to go with us on our travels). This way I could find them easily on the other end.    We are so blessed to have professionals do almost all of the work.  It took two days of boxing and one for loading then a few hours of cleaning and we turned the house over for closing.  Choosing what to keep with us Essential oils, supplements, and medication need to stay at room temperature so they are bei...

I am a 47-year-old woman with 2 grown children in college and one half-way through high school. My husband is about 10 years from retirement. We are in the settled down and settled in stage of life.  I have ministries I love and a rewarding part-time job where I feel like I make a difference. I would say content pretty well sums up life for us. Well, things are about to change and change fast! This summer began with a fast trip to move the college kids out of the dorm and home for a short 2 months, before settling them in their apartment back at school. One college daughter didn't even come home but left immediately for a 2 week trip to the east coast with one of her classes.  Now we are prepping our home of 6 years in a community we have lived in for over 17 years to move to a new state! How did this happen? I have lived in the state of Oklahoma for 41 years! Can I tell you God began preparing our hearts last year? It is amazing how he does things. I would say a...
