This one is not for Tanzania,

It is for my niece's first baby, who is due in a few weeks.

I like to give gifts that are a little larger since they always seem to receive so many cute tiny outfits. This should fit Baby Olive by late summer and early fall.

Making this dress has convinced me that I do need a new sewing machine.  I have always enjoyed sewing, but it seems lately that I fight with my machine more than I am able to sew successfully.  Especially in the button hole department.  This dress does not have button holes yet.  I tried to make them, but I pulled out three because they did not please me.  I cannot see putting all of the work into something and have it ruined by poor quality buttonholes. 

The sweater is made of one of my favorite yarns.  Cascade 220.  It is hand washable 100% wool.

The dress is dark pink background with light pink polka dots with lime green polka dots inside the light pink dots.  It is the same fabric I used to make the little pants below.  I am hoping Baby Olive gets lots of use from them.

This Week

I honestly had a very difficult time getting into my knitting.  I spent days questioning what God expected me to do with our Ministry after I learned on Tuesday morning that our beloved friend Mwenebolongo had entered into God's Holy presence.  Tuesday was spent crying and trying to find the money we needed to transport his body from the city he was in, to the refugee camp to continue his trip back to Congo for burial.  When you ask in faith, God is ever faithful and He provided exactly the amount we asked for.  I picked up the money on Wednesday and wired it to Tanzania.  I have not heard anything about it yet.  I prayed as I sent it that the Pastor who would  be picking up the funds would remain safe and use it wisely.

God did answer my question concerning the Ministry.  His answer was that when he gave me this assignment, he was fully aware that he would be taking Mwene home before we were able to finish.  My job is to continue with the job he gave me and once I reach the dollar amount he gave me, he will tell me what he wants me to do with it.  So............I started knitting again.
