During one particular week of needing a creative outlet, the prince and I were talking about discovering and using your talents. While he is pretty talented at Legos and construction/gadgety-type things, I lean more toward crafts and sewing. During this same time period, I learned that a new group was forming at our church. The Prayers and Squares Ministry would be making quilts (about crib-size) for people in need of prayer. After each quilt is constructed, knots are tied in the threads by members of our congregation as they say prayers for the person.
I knew that I didn't have the time to make a complete quilt for this project, but I did have time to construct the tops. So what works for me, is to construct the tops of the quilt, and let someone else finish the construction. Maybe even a third person is involved by tacking in the threads. Everyone has a part that they enjoy doing, and everyone gets to participate.
This is what works for me. To see other handy tips check out Works for Me Wednesday, hosted by Rocks In My Dryer.
