A Lost Moment in TIme

Since you know I don't sit still very long, here's what's new:
Most recently I was recognized for my design and sewing abilities by the Guthrie Theater in Mpls., MN.  That was a nice nod to a home-schooled stitcher!  I have done costuming for large scale productions for Normandale Community College, Friendship Church, actors for the MN Renaissance Festival and other independent projects.  What's on the cutting room table now?  Something I haven't done in years - drafting patterns from a simple, non-scale drawing.  Amazing the skills that lurk in the back of mind, sitting on a dusty shelf just waiting to be used again.  This project is in cooperative with "That's Original" photography owned by Ms. Alex Cox.  Alex drew the pictures and gave me a brief story line.  It's amazing to see them come to life.  Not me, this is definitely God at work! Whom, I should tell you, I have multiple conversations with while in the work room :) I am looking for additional stitchers to help with this years Christmas production, so if you like to sew ~ this is a rewarding volunteer opportunity.
2nd on the list of accomplishments is the completion of 33 hours of classroom & passing a test (reminiscent of the Nursing Boards) to obtain my Certified Legal Nurse Consultant certification.  More on this at another time. Just know it is an accomplishment that will take me further (hopefully, not down the rabbit hole)!
Last but surely not least,  I am on another scouting party! We are off to China and Australia in October to set the imprint of 2 more mission outreach programs.  I can't believe it has been 2 years since we left Israel and Ireland.  Ireland has not blossomed, but Israel is taking off with small groups working on the kubtiz outside of Tiberius.  Many people ask me if you have to be Christian to do mission work with the Isaiah Connection (see www.isaiahconnection.org).  No, you don't.  The mission of the this organization is to come along side and serve. Not our agenda, the agenda of those we go to assist.  Whether it is construction work on Moloka'i, helping the elderly in Israel, or doing medical work in Nigeria, we go to serve.  It is an excellent use of one's VPTO!
