Threads of Hope Belize

Wenesday Morning  - LosTambos  Today we are making pot holders!

The girls pointed out that so far everything we made had to do with the kitchen.

Not sure what that is about. 

 Flory and Leydi working on the cut out for their pot holders.

 Here they are!! They found a new way to exhibit their pot holders.

We may work but there is nothing that says we can't have fun too.

At the end of the day they are still smiling! That'sa good sign.

Thursday  back to Buena Vista

Joe and his new little buddy Natalie. She is the Buena Vista cookie monster. Natalie is wearing one of the dresses from the GrandMa's PJ Collection. She is the daughter of one of our students. Sweet little one, she helps Joe pick up the trash  around the community center yard. 

Friday, we had an extra day of sewing this afternoon. Our 3 machines will be delivered tomorrow! FINALLY!

We are trying to finish up quilts so we will have one more full day on Tuesday. There will be a ceremonial ribbon cutting at the Community center in recognition of the Buena Vista Threads of Hope sewing group. 

 This young lady is very close to putting the fill on her quilt and the backing. We have had some cool nights so everyone is anxious to finish them to use.

It was time to leave at 2:00, they were still there at 4:30, we told them they didn't have to go home but they did have to leave. It's nice that they want to stay and sew. Hoping they keep that up.

Today is Friday February 3, our 25th wedding anniversary so we had a nice night out with Carmen and Faye.

Tomorrow back to LosTambos so Joe and Mark can fix the palapa hut roof. I am going to set up Mrs. Miranda's sewing machine and get her started on a few new projects.

Tomorrow is also laundry day! Can't quite get used to this "no dryer" nothing ever drys here.
