We work in a seafood market that is run by Christians and we are allowed to share our faith. We actually play Christian music on the radio all day long - how cool is that??? But its always cold in there - like so cold you can see your breath and I'm always saying "but I'm not a fish"!!! One of the other girls is always cold too. I'm lucky enough to have moved into a new office because I'm in accounting - but she actually helps customers - weighing shrimp, fish, and working the register. I made this jacket for her so she wouldn't be so cold all the time. She didn't want to wear it because she would get it dirty. I said - that's the point!!! I want you to wear it - get it dirty!!

The design on the back is from www.stitchedimpressions.com
The angel on the side pocket is from www.emblibrary.com
The font on the front is from www.8clawsandapaw.com but I don't remember which font I used (again)
And I think my tribal cross came from a cutie - but I don't remember who (back to the whole thing about I'm bad with organization!!)

What a great way of showing you are a Christian. I love it and I am so glad your friend gets to wear the coat all day. It will be a "conversation starter" too and then she will be able to say it was made by you and the designs come from wherever. Love and blessings Chris

It is a great place to work. I miss working there... Ok - maybe I don't miss the cold... but I miss the opportunity to talk to people about God.
