Welcome to New Mercies!

Thank you for stopping by! This is just the beginning for me, but I wanted to get something up so I could show the little things I've been dabbling in. I'd be thrilled to share my love of sewing, crafting and creating for you and your family!

Blessings,

Hello, my name is Emily! I'm a stay-at-home mom by day, sewing banshee by night! It's addictive and I've truly been pleasantly pulled into the amazing world of sewing! Please let me share my love of custom crafting with you and your family for any occasion!

About New Mercies... The idea for the name came from a verse I love and have newly cherished in the Old Testament:

"Because of the LORD'S great love, we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail. They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness" - Lamentations 3:22-23

In May of 2010, I was encouraged by a nurse who, when told I was taking life one day at a time with God's strength alone at times, said, "His mercies are new every morning, so count on them."

Almost two months later, I'd borrowed my mother-in-law's sewing machine, been taught basic stitching by my longtime friend and I dove into this new passion. God did get me, my husband and my family through some stuff I thought would topple us - His mercies truly were abundant and they were new each and every single day just as my nurse, the old song and the scripture promises!

My sewing life and love is the embodiment of my gratefulness for God's will and daily provision. It sure isn't perfect - yet! :-) I try new things, stumble alot, rip out a whole lot, go a little fabric crazy at JoAnn's, but all in all I press on and love trying new things!
