Update and some fun!

I just love this picture! I think he might want in. What do you think?
Well, here is what I am working on now. It is a cute little project from Cross Country Stitching and will become another small pillow.

Boy, did it rain here last night!!!! And it has been rainy all day. Of course Katie had to splash in the puddles and take me for a walk in the rain! I didn't mind though. Heck, I like walking in a light rain anyway. It is more like spring here with temps in the 50's today. I thought this was winter? Better not complain or I might be sorry! Have a great new year's everyone!

Pass it forward

Okay I am doing a pass it forward thing in 2007. The first 5 people to e mail me at
minpinmom2005-sewnsews@yahoo.com will get a little goodie from me sometime in the coming year. May be a little cross stitch surprise or a beaded angel my choice. In exchange you will do the same thing. Pick 5 people to recieve something from you. Hugs and blessings.

Happy New year!

Well, blogger is being a pain! So instead of posting what I wanted, I will just wish you a happy new year! hugs!

Say good bye mom!

Just a little something to tickle your funnybone!


I was shopping and noticed a little old lady following me around.

I stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at me.

She finally overtook me at the checkout, and she turned to me and said,

"I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look so much like my late daughter."

I answered, "That's okay."

"I know it's silly, bu t if you'd call out "Good bye, Mom" as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy."

She then went through the checkout, and as she was on her w ay out of the store, I called out, "Goodbye, Mom."

The little old lady waved, and smiled back at me. Pleased that I had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, I went to pay for my groceries.

"That comes to $121.85," said the clerk. "How come so much .. I only bought 5 items.."

The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said you'd be paying for her things too."

Here I am!

I trust everyone had a wonderful Christmas? It was nice and quiet here and Jack and I had a lovely meal. Jack gave me some nice gifts. A lovely skirt, a collection of DMC color variations and a collection of DMC light effects (pearlessent). I gave him a model and software so he can design his own decals for his models. He has been wanting that for awhile. Katie-Bug got a denim jacket. Here is Katie snoozing in dad's chair on his wooly coat! She looks quite at peace!

Here she is modeling her new jacket. She loves it!

And although it is scary, it is true! I finally have a finish! Ta-da!!!!! Drumroll!

Here is Jack's current WIP. I love the softness of the colors.

Well, that is all in my little world today. Have an awesome day!

How about a poem? Oh, and some silliness!

Here ya go! With all that I and my friends have gone through of late, I thought this was most fitting.

GOD'S WONDERFUL GRACE

Just as sure as the stars in Heaven
Shine forth in the darkness of night,
We can rely on the love of God
To carry us through our plight.

Just as sure as the sun each morning
Gives of it's light through the day,
We can know that we have God's presence
No matter what comes our way.

We may not have all the answers
To the many trials we face,
But on one thing we can rely-
We are kept by God's wonderful grace.

Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house Katie slept and...

slept and...

slept!

We need a smile today!

Its a bird, it's a plane!!! Nope, it's super katie the mule-a-roo! Now you are asking why we call her the mule-a-roo. Well, she kicks like a mule when she is laying next to you and she hops when she runs. So bet you can figure that out!
Family update: Jack talked to my cousin Brent. He isn't questioning God on why as he believes it was Dustin's appointed time to go. He says it is hard and he is very sad and he is asking God to help him and his family through it and give them comfort. WOW!!! Doesn't surprise me on how Brent feels but I wonder could I be that strong in the same situation? I hope so!
Me update: I am a bit better. I turned the corner on the dehydration. My head pressure and pain has gone! Thank the Lord! Eating is still trouble but I am inching along! Thanks for all your loving thoughts and prayers this past week. I so hope to get back to visiting blogs this week.

Asking for more prayers

Here I am asking for prayer once again. We just got word today my cousin Brent lost his 17 year old son Dustin in a car accident last night. I am heart broken! My cousin Brent is a godly man and a pastor of a church in my home town. Jack is talking to my aunt right now. The family is, as you can imagine, devastated. Pray for Dustin's family please. I am not well enough yet to attend the funeral but my heart is with them as you can imagine. God never promised every day would be perfect or pain free. As you know it rains on the just and unjust alike. Dustin's dad and granddad are taking it really hard. My great uncle, Dustin's granddad, owns a used car dealership in my hometown. Brent and my other cousin Kirk work with their dad on the lot. They are all a very close family. Sorry, I am rambling on so I will close for now. God bless you all.

Too sick to post for awhile

Hello all. Well, I spent the evening an night in the e.r. yesterday. I was very, very dehydrated and have the beginnings of a bladder infection. I am still really weak and not allowed toeat solid foods until tomorrow. Praise the Lord I got to come home!!!! But I will be down for the count at least through the weekend. Prayers appreciated and I hope to be back soon. If you comment on a post and I don't moderate it right away, I am not doing e mails right now either. God bless you all.

Christmas wish for you

For you my friends and the friends I have yet to meet.


MY WISH FOR YOU AT CHRISTMAS

My wish for you this Christmas,
From deep down in my heart,
Is for all good and happy things
Such holidays impart.
I wish you peace, and hope, and love,
And health, and happiness,
Prosperity, and close to you,
The ones you love the best.
My wish for you this Christmas
Is most sincere and true,
And it has a special meaning
Because it's just for you.
And you'll always be remembered
For the friendship that you give,
In all my prayers at Christmastime
And every day that I live.
Grace E. Easley

Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace to those
on whom His favor rests. Luke 2:14
