One of my nieces, CarlaI promise to blog more often this month of December. I really haven't found the time yet to put links on my blog, invite friends, and join blog explosion so I can generate traffic to my blog.
Anyways, I have already finished the party dresses of my nieces Nimai, Sara, Carla and Dianne and the dresses of my granddaughters Betina and Chloe. Nimai's and Sara's dresses were lavender pink tafetta with chiffon and organdy combination. Carla's and Dianne's were a daring violet shade. I think Betina's and Chloe's dresses will be the knockout ones as I even told their parents Bird and Chi that the design of their daughter's dresses were Tessa inspired. The style is not only daring but fearless that only my granddaughters can carry with aplomb (?).
My sister and her family arrived last Thursday from NZ to spend their month long holiday in the Philippines. And know what I got as their pasalubong? A pocket talker! This is an assistive listening device, a sound amplifier and I'm learning to use it now. I wore it at church this morning and some church folks were looking at me, maybe wondering why I should wear an ipod at church. I didn't bother to explain that it's not an ipod but a pocket talker. I can now hear sounds and speech altho I still miss some words, it's better than not hearing anything at all. I'm able to hear music as well and I find myself tapping my feet to the music. I think I will have to write in a separate post my feelings about hearing thru the pocket talker.
Tomorrow I will have to work early so I can finish the dresses of my other nieces Trisha, Jillian and Janna. There is a dawn watch at church beginning tomorrow until Saturday, December 8. I hope I can join but I have to finish the dresses. Sad.
It's already quarter past 11 in the evening here but I am not sleepy yet as I had an evening coffee to go with the donuts my future son in law brought here early this evening. I pray to God the tomorrow will be lovely, stress free day and I will be able to finish the dresses I'm making and my nieces will be very happy. I ask God for strength and joy without grumbling I may be able to work for His glory.
