Conference weekend...

I decided to do something productive on Saturday during conference, so while I listened to the conference via LDS.org, I made 1o sets of baby leg warmers. I so appreciate of the wonders of modern day technology. Our local channel no longer broadcasts conference,and since we don't have cable channels, we watched it on the internet. It was great! And I am most grateful for my sewing machine. I have had it for over 35 years, and it is still going strong! When I visited Katie over Labor Day, I saw the baby leg warmers on a display for her upcoming monthly Relief Society meeting. Her ward was making them for Primary Children's Hospital. The leg warmers can go on the baby's legs or arms when they are in the hospital with tubes and wires everywhere on their tiny bodies. It helps keep them warm when they cannot be dressed because of the wires and IVs. I was very impressed with the idea and with the project, so I decided to try it. I think we will be making them for Phoenix Children's Hospital in our ward during "Souper Saturday" in November. I found the knee socks at Target for $1.00 per pair. So all you Sahuaro Ranch Ward sisters, start buying up the knee socks on sale. We want to make a worthy contribution with this service project!
They were very quick and easy to make. Hopefully, I did them right!!
Conference was so uplifting. I loved every single talk. I can't wait to listen to all of them again. Rod always makes me a CD of the talks from the church website. My car will play Mp3 recordings, so I can listen to the talks when driving to and from work. It always makes my day better. I can listen to the messages several times, and I get something different each time I listen to the talks. I love our general authorities. They are all truly men of God. My spirit was deeply touch as they testified of the Savior and of the doctrines on which they expounded. It makes me truly want to be a better person, and a more devoted daughter of God!
