Sewing is something that people usually either love or love to hate. It requires a lot of patience. Especially if something is sewn the wrong way. This can require the seamstress to have to painfully unpick tiny stitches and resew them. This is one of the blessings and cursings of the sewing machine. When a garment is sewn correctly then having a sewing machine is a blessing. The stiching is very small, tight, and tends to keep together very well. The curse of a sewing machine is when you make a mistake and have to use a very special tool called a seam ripper to carefully unpick the seam you just did without ripping the fabric. If you are a complete novice that the best way to get started is to read all that you can about the best sewing machine for beginners. Once you have done your research on a machine then just sew, sew, sew.

I Want One Really Large Photo Canvas
And then quite a few smaller ones. I love canvas prints and I am going through all my photos, old and new and looking at them with new eyes. I think that just one large photo canvas as a focal point will do for now (my house is not that large) but I need just the perfect picture. I want something striking — but not overwhelming, you know? I might have to call some friends in to help me choose. I imagine that things look different on a big canvas from what they do in a small photo, so I will need advice. I love my kids and grandkids, but I don’t know that I want a huge canvas of people. I think I will put them on the smaller canvases and have a striking scene on the big one. Or maybe I will have more than one big one, just for effect. Sigh, decisions, decisions.

My First Medical Mission

There were many participants who joined, in different ages, from different places. We conducted a free medical check up. The mayor of the place was so grateful that he gave each of us hummels figurines that were nicely wrapped. Though the event was so tiring, the figurines paid for all the stress. Seeing those cute little ones were enough to make us smile and forgot the tiring day. We then had dinner altogether and exchanged our own version of experiences. It was my first time to join in a medical mission and if I was not mistaken, there were also a few who were same with me. The thought of helping other people prevent and discover their sickness free of charge was really inspiring. It was a very nice feeling.
