Skirt Making and Packing

I am a pathetic seamstress! I am making a new skirt from an old bridesmaids outfit that I wore last summer. It was right down to the ground and I knew that I would never wear it again if I didn't do something to shorten the length of it. I have attempted to make it shorter twice now, abd both times, the new would be length is all uneven. I think I may need some mother intervention on this thing or it's going to be too short to wear even before i have finished with it. I am hoping to have it finished by the time I leave for Winnipeg on Saturday morning.
I have started the whole repacking process and I have to say that I am not a huge fan of this (as we know from when I was packing things up in England). Regoing through the cupboard in my bedroom and once again tossing out clothing and shoes that I have no use for anymore it sort of refreshing, but I'm not very good at actually parting with anything. I think God can teach me a lesson through this somewhere. I am donating my clothes to the Salvation Army though. At the same time, Packing is a very exciting thing because it means that God is taking me in a new direction once again. I feel like I have found my purpose as to why God brought me back to Canada when he did. I'm also really looking forward to my uni class in 2 weeks. It will be good to get back into the academic atmosphere and mental mindset....i know, i might be crazy.
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Hope everything you seek to acomplish in the week ahead happens for all of you. Take care. Laters!
