Sewing -embellishing burp cloths

The stack...of finished burp cloths

*7 days...that's one WEEK!!* until we are on the plane heading to ETHIOPIA to adopt our Little Beauty.

(she's 8 months old!)

Way back in our waiting for our Guatemalan sons (which is when this adoption began...August 2005!)...which never came to be because the country shut down to adoptions....well, I picked up a load of cloth diapers.

Back in those days it was my hearts desire to go the route of cloth diapers, it still is, but I have decided that I am going to use a diaper service versus me being the diaper cleaner. In the beginning of this adoption I had 3 children...in 2007 God sent 3 more though foster care for us to adopt....with six kids there is already plenty of laundry time for me, enough said.

I figured I better fancy mine up, or the diaper service was bound to end up with our diapers and theirs. There is a method to my mad embellishing at the 11th hour!

I used up so many scraps for this embellishing project, which is good if you knew my fabric pile. And as a tree-hugger, just seeing the little fairy tale trees makes joy well up in my heart!

I'm almost done with sewing...a few more diaper wraps out of fleece and I can stash the fabric and sewing machine away. For now it sits on the kitchen table, waiting for me to come.

Thank you for your prayers and for your financial support. In the past week another $650 dollars has come in through our fund raising support button that Emily made. We are so thankful...this adoption has been such a financial stretch for us. What a blessing you are to us...and of course God knows your love offerings and will provide out of His abundance for you too!
