Threads of Hope Belize

Sorry but we flew right through WEEK #6

and are now completing WEEK #7.

Week #6 Buena Vista

Another project completed. A set of 2 pot holders and an oven mitt.

We are using a technique of machine quilting that the girls are just learning. 

Here they are able to track a stitch line to keep their rows of stitching straight. New technique and they are coming up with many ideas for it.  CREATIVE!!!

BEAUTIFUL scenery on the way back to the house. Hard to see in the picture but there were two rather large rain showers in the distance. 

Another project completed in Buena Vista. The ladies made a market bag that can be folded very small and carried in your purse. We are working on doing away with the use of plastic where we can. 

Here in Los Tambos we have kick off day for making the school uniforms! Everything is set up to begin but nothing starts until after we pray!

The serger machine has been included in the process this year for making the uniforms. This has improved the finished look and has also cut down on the time that it takes to complete them.  

                                   Rose enjoys using the new machine.                                   

                             

This little guy is just too cute! Always with the dungarees his plaid shirts and hat! Always with a smile on his face. He can't speak a word of English other than "Thank You".  He comes up to you and leans on your leg just like a little puppy. 

A quick rain after school left a beautiful rainbow for us to enjoy.

This what the "snow moon" looked like from our front porch rising over the trees.

This is what the "snow moon" looked like from our back porch the following morning!

Who says it's too hot to play soccer!! It's only 92 degrees!

This was on Wednesday this week. Earlier in the week we had 

100 degrees. The children really mix it up when they play.

Buena Vista - Embroidery Class 

Grade School Standard 5 and 6

16 girls

This is something we started two weeks ago and we are teaching basics and soon will be off and running on  several fun projects. We do this over lunch break and also after sewing class two days a week. The young ladies are also getting the chance to see what the sewing group is doing. They certainly are a fun group of girls. Hopefully we are setting the stage for the next sewing generation. 

This has been an amazing two weeks. Just when you think God has filled your heart up with so many wonderful things............He keeps sending more!!

We are so BLESSED!! 

And we are still singing your song !
