My Birthday Prayer

birthday

 

This year, God really surprised me for my birthday! I prayed to Jesus and told him that over material things, what I want the most is for my close friends to come to my church and worship in Spirit and in truth with me. And that is just what happened!

I had such an awesome birthday and will always praise God for his goodness and faithfulness towards me!

I love you Jesus!

Hat of the Month

A week ago, my cousin who is a milliner and a seamstress,  Nandi J. Shuler, sent me an email. She was recognized in an UK newspaper for her first felt hat. She attended a two-day hat blocking course in Atlanta, GA in September and learned how to block a straw capeline and a felt hood.

According to the article, Nandi used to think that block hats were made on factory machines but when she found out she could learn the craft by hand, it perked her interest.

Apparently she took the hat blocking course taught by Jan Wutkowski in September and by the first week of October had already made her first felt hat (which is what she is recognized for).

When I saw my cousin in October, I was impressed by the hat she was wearing and asked her where she got it from; nevertheless, I was not really surprised when she replied ‘I made it’.

CONGRATULATIONS Nandi!

Lilly

I was on the train when a lady got on and sat across from me with a brand new camera. She was excited about her camera. She looked at me for a while and kept looking at her camera, then she began to take photos of me.

I couldn’t get mad because she was doing to me what I do to others all of the time.  At first I didn’t know she was taking my photo but I had a hunch. Then, I started to smile at her because I knew she was taking my picture.

She showed me her new Olympus camera and the photos. We swapped emails and she emailed me the photos that night.

Shoes

 

These young ladies were walking on Fordham Road and caught everyone’s attention…because of their shoes. They really had a time walking to their destination… which, I found out later was a baby shower.

Take note of the lady in the pink shoes hair style. A lot of young ladies are wearing long African braids this season.

Weekend Max Mara Skirt

I ran across this Jersey Skirt by Max Mara. I think it will be a great buy for the upcoming winter. My sister, however, thinks it’s ugly. It’s not that bad. I think the price is ugly. It goes for 250.00 at Nordstrom.com.
