Blessed Easter

I Know That My Redeemer Lives
I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives, my ever living Head.

He lives to bless me with His love, He lives to plead for me above. He lives my hungry soul to feed, He lives to help in time of need.

He lives triumphant from the grave, He lives eternally to save, He lives all glorious in the sky, He lives exalted there on high.

He lives to grant me rich supply, He lives to guide me with His eye, He lives to comfort me when faint, He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.

He lives to silence all my fears, He lives to wipe away my tears He lives to calm my troubled heart, He lives all blessings to impart.

He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly Friend, He lives and loves me to the end; He lives, and while He lives, I’ll sing; He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.

He lives and grants me daily breath; He lives, and I shall conquer death: He lives my mansion to prepare; He lives to bring me safely there.

He lives, all glory to His Name! He lives, my Jesus, still the same. Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives, I know that my Redeemer lives!

Potpourri of Info

Here are the fruits of my labors after spending some time online with no particular focus!

Darling list (with pictures) of Easter tutorials on Sew Mama Sew's blog

Have you picked up some fabric that you don't know what it is made of?  We Wilson's blog has great instructions on how to conduct fabric experiments that will determine if your fabric is 100% organic or if it has some synthetic fibers mixed in! 
You are going to want to hang out at the Wilson's for a while!  There are great projects like this Dusting Mitt, perfect for spring cleaning!

Another MUST see creative blog!
Roots and Wings - I found this blog via a search for more Autism stuff. 
One of the contributers (3 sisters) has an autistic child.
There are lots of fun crafts and tutorials here!  Great site to find fun stuff to make with kids!

My husband graduates with his masters in business this spring.  He wants to take off for a year to do some traveling . . . sound nice?  Well, yes until you realize that my home will now be a VW camper bus shared with my hubby and almost 4 year old.  
No, NOT a motor home, a VW pop top camper bus.  Yes, there is a tiny fridge, a tiny sink, tiny cupboards, a swing out table,  and two sleeping areas, but no where for my quilting stuff!!!
I'm excited for the adventure where ever it leads and am trying to get lots of hand applique projects ready and after I found this site Sublime Stitching, I may even do some embroidery! Fun blog too!
I should learn how to knit before he head off for the great unknown.  It's been an art I've always wanted to learn but have been putting it off for years because I would rather sew!

Autism Crafts
Isn't this a GREAT piece?  Click on the picture to go to Roots and Wing's blog and make one of your own or for a friend!
Speaking of Autism, I found another blogger who has handmade items for sale to help finance the care of her two autistic children.
Beading for Autism - Only natural stones and glass are used to make beautiful quality jewelry items.

AMAZING video of an autistic artist!
OK, I'm off to bed now!

Fun Tutorials

Have you read my original post about the Autism Awareness Day Fundraiser Event on April 2, 2009 that I am going to hold here, on my blog?
Giveaways * Awareness * Dotate
I was wandering around the Internet, actually, if you notice the time of the posting I was 'sleep wandering' around the Internet! Anyway . . . I found some GREAT tutorials!! Retro Mama (Kim) has a tute for these fabric Easter eggs. Sometimes Crafter has instructions to make charming modern hot pads and another for similar styled drink coasters. How 'bout a Collapsible Bucket? It collapses into a flat fold of fabric so you can put it in your purse or glove compartment until you need it! Collapsible Bucket - More DIY How To Projects Isn't the format of this great? It's from the site Instructables which features instructions (obviously) about all sorts of stuff from food, kids, music, outdoors, etc - you've got to check it out! Tumbling Blocks shows us how to make an Oil Cloth Lunch Bag. I bought one similar to this at an art show and I love it!! I keep all of my applique stuff in there.

Have a creative weekend!
