New Items and Still At It

Here is a wallet I made last night and posted in the shop today. My new schedule for sewing has been working out quite well and I am pleased that it has. My current schedule for sewing is either sewing during one of two of Luke's naps during the day, or if I can't manage that, I sew after everyone has gone to bed at night, usually between 9-10:30 p.m. Hubby has to go to bed early to get up for 4:30 every day. This works well. I don't tend to like to go to bed earlier so I create away until I get tired.

These specific verses (below) from Proverbs 31 in the Old Testament give me a lot of encouragement and vision for why and how to do this. I find a lot of satisfaction in being creative and industrious for my family's sake while not having to leave the home for a career. I hope to always be able to do this as  a stay at home mom and wife.

"She considers a field and buys it;
   out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously;
   her arms are strong for her tasks.
 She sees that her trading is profitable,
   and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff
   and grasps the spindle with her fingers...

She makes linen garments and sells them,
   and supplies the merchants with sashes.
 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
   she can laugh at the days to come."
