Night Owl

It is now 1:05am...anyone who knows me knows that I can fall asleep anywhere and at anytime. I have never considered myself a "night owl" simply because I can fall asleep at 6pm. It usually starts with a "I'm just resting my eyes" and turns into "I just can't fight falling alseep". BUT I have found my one exception....sewing/creating/designing!!! I seriously could stay up all hours of the night. Once I get going my head starts spinning with all kinds of new designs and ideas. In between those design thoughts though, I have found that I really enjoy the quiet time to pray while I'm sewing. Sometimes I think God speaks the loudest to me during these times. I had made a promise to myself that if I were to follow my passion and God blessed me with a way to do it, I would never take precious time away from my husband and little girl. After all, without them the thought of Rejoicing DAY would be non-existant! God works in such funny ways because now I suddenly have all this energy late in the evenings - even after a busy day at my full time job! :)

 My mom and I have been busy sewing and getting geared up for Spring- if it would ever get a little warmer! Everytime we talk on the phone - which is at least once a day - we get so excited with all the super great compliments you have been giving us! We are in love with our Spring/Summer line of creations and are excited to add a few boy items to our collection: Vests, Ties, and Bow-ties! We are trying to get more pictures of our items up so keep checking our website and facebook page for updates. I'll leave you with a few pictures of some new creations...REJOICE!

Gifts

This last weekend my mom and I had an art fair in Yankton that was put on by TEAM SUSAN( team members rasing money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of a lady who is fighting cancer). Before any event, shopping day, or brainstorming session, I always like to inspire us with a bible verse out of a daily devotional book. Well this last saturdays verse was perfect: "We all have different gifts, each of which came because of the grace of God gave us." Romans 12:6 I found this so fitting for not only our Rejoicing DAY endeavors, but for the amazing ladies who have organized these wonderful fundraising events. Each one of us are blessed with a gift from God and I get so inspired everytime I see and witness people using theirs:) My mom and I truly hope that our gift inspires you and the ones you love, but more importanly glorifies God!

We did have a chance to showcase a few of our Spring items eventhough it was snowing all day! We have lots more fabrics and ideas to create, but the response to our items there was awesome...so we have a lot more sewing ahead of us! Check out a few pics of our new "Delaney Spring/Summer line" :)   REJOICE!
