We have been sewing again. Our theme this time has been the renaissance period. I also made a vest/ doublet  for Lars but have not taken a picture of him. I want to finish his Robin Hood costume. Derek made Heidi's first and then we all needed to have a costume too.

December iris

I transplanted this iris the end of August. Then for some happy reason it decided to bloom this fall in its new home.
It is a little patch of sunshine under my kitchen window.
I am thankful for all my pretty flowers!

Day 36 - E day

We've been pretty busy this week. both yesterday and today we had friends over for the afternoons.
I sewed some PJ pants for Molly today. They were super easy to do because I had a pattern out to cute them out then I found some of mine that I was going to get ride of and I ended up just cutting them down to fit Molly. They are a little wider leg than I wanted for her but oh well.
We had enchilada's tonight for supper for E day. They were good. the last time I tried to make them they were not so good.
We have a well out back of our house because this house was built before this area was part of the city. A few years ago the house was hooked up to city water but the well was left back there and the man we bought it from said that he used it for watering his grass. But, after we bought the house we found that the well did not work at all. Apparently we had left the water hydrant wide open after looking at it some time because this morning when I went out water was coming out full blast. And I sang praises to my God who gives gifts to His children.

Day 25

Family and Friends
Music and Love,
Truly all these are gifts from above,
My heart is so full
I can't add up the sum,
Of all of these gifts,
And there's still heaven to come.

I often sing this song as I am working around my house. God has blessed me so much in this life. These lyrics say it so well. Praise God for sweet children and wonderful family and so many material gifts too.

smiles for you

He's Home!

Happiness

Happiness is not found in doing What One likes to do, But in LIKING what one has to do.

Whatever you do, do it with all your heart,
as working for the Lord and not for men.
Colossians 3 : 23

...Do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you.
1 Samuel 10 : 7

I have been thinking about the quote and these verses a lot. (mom has the quote on the wall on the bathroom) It is a good reminder that we have a choice. whatever our attitude is, it is because we chose to have that attitude.
Choose Happiness.
