Joyfully His Handmaiden ~ Deborah


Titus 2:3-5
 3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient
to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed

ATTENTION QUILTERS!
Modest Handmaidens is hosting a quilt 'block of the month' swap  for the year :) Watch for some pics of our completed blocks.
Here is what the ladies are saying
"I have LOVED this quilt block swap.  This is my first quilt swap, although I have been sewing/quilting for a long time with my mom and grandmother.  I started with hand sewing when I was real little, and then started using my mom's sewing machine when I was 12 or so.   I haven't quit since. I'm 28 now with 2 little kids, so sometimes my sewing gets put on the back burner, but this block swap has kept me motivated and forced me to take out my sewing machine and keep it running."

"Thank you again for hosting this swap and I look forward to the next block!"

"I'm really enjoying the quilt swap.  Thanks so much for heading it up!
"
"

"I am loving this project!!"

"Thank you again for spearheading this - it'd be neat to do it again when we are done with this one!!"
Here is a sampling of what we've been doing....
 
BOM 1 Nine Patch variation


BOM 2 Rail Fence

BOM 3  Friendship Star & variation

BOM 4 Log Cabin
 
 
While the 2010 BOM quilt swap has gotten under way, I have been finishing off my own quilting project...a baby quilt for my new granddaughter Paige who God brought into the world

~ Equine Rhythm Beads ~
* Visit our new 'mother & daughter' online equine webstore, featuring Natural Horsemanship Equine Rhythm Beads, at
www.rhythm-n-beads.com
 
 Rhythm Beads with bells, allow your horse to follow a rhythm or cadence much like a musician plays music to a metronome through timed beats. The soft jingle of the genuine brass bells accentuates the rhythm of horses' gaits, which is useful for adjusting the tempo/rhythm of a horse's movement, and for helping the rider to move in rhythm with the horse.
Rhythm beads are great for pleasure riding, trail riding, training and desensitizing young horses.
We offer custom and ready made sets in Mini, Pony, Reg. Horse & Draft Sizes.
A great gift idea for the 'horse lover' in your life.

~ Direction for Modest Handmaidens in 2010 ~
 The Lord has been faithful and blessed our family ministry 'Modest Handmaidens' through our 4th year ... Modest Handmaidens offers modest living resources & products for sisters with a heart's desire to live modestly.
2009 was a challenging year due to ongoing health issues, but God is SO good. He blesses us as we are faithful and place our full trust and hope in HIM.
We will continue to prayerfully seek the Lord's direction and purpose for 'Modest Handmaidens' as we walk through 2010. Our desire and comittment is to be sensitive and obedient to the Lord's will and leading for our lives, and our family business/ministry.

Modesty, Virtue, Purity and the importance of teaching young girls to be 'keepers of the home', continues to be impressed upon our hearts and our vision for MH. We are excited to offer resources to encourage growth in those areas and more for young handmaidens/homeschoolers and families.....modest sewing patterns, sewing curriculum & beginner sewing kits, a variety of handwork, quality books for women, aromatherapy products and natural living home & feminine care products.


Joshua 24:15
As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
