When Things Go Wrong - Use Your Seam Ripper

Happy New Year!

I'm looking forward to 2016!  

I know, I know, and I know that 

everyday is a new day, but for 

some reason when that number

 changes, introducing the 

New Year, it's a Big deal.  

There is something about it that 

makes us gear up to new resolutions,

 new goals, and new beginnings.

I need a lot of new beginnings 

and start overs.  So here I am 

to welcome 2016.  The last days

 of the year were used to remove 

all Christmas decorations and

 store them away!  It feels real

 good to have my living 

space cleaned for the New Year.

  Sure there is much more left to

 do, however, for now I can

sit in front of the fire place, 

and sip on some hot tea. 

 Snuggled up, it's a cold day!  

It really does feel like winter. 

 I love it! I even got to sleep in...

so wonderful!!!

My motto this year is going to be,
  When Things Go Wrong 
Use Your Seam Ripper!!!  

One of my most favorite tools, 

the seam ripper.   I couldn't

 image not having this tool 

in my sewing box! 

In fact, I believe I own 

eight of them...lol!

With this wonderful tool, 

the seam ripper, we can remove 

all those mistakes we've made.  

Carefully, inserting the blade

 underneath the thread to be cut, 

and removing the unwanted 

seam we just stitched, only

to be resewn. 

So why not treat life  

 the same way?  We

accomplish so much each day. 

There is nothing wrong with

allowing our seams to unravel,

to rip them out and be removed.

  

  Sometimes when we remove 

stitches from our fabric, we 

leave impressions of damage, even 

the fabric of our life may 

be weakened. We can always move

 forward and improve our mistakes 

or better yet, simply start over!

I know we can beat ourselves up

 for messing up. I've done a 

lot in 2015 and I want to 

encourage my readers not to 

take life so serious.  

Have fun with it!

  

 Remember 
When Things Go Wrong 

Use Your Seam Ripper!!!

 post and have been encouraged.

Have a wonderful

year!!!

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: 

The old has gone, the new is here!
