hmmmmm -- things I'm loving...

Many thanks to Paisley Jade who weekly serves to remind us that "I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something that you can be thankful for... no matter how simple it is."

Here are my reminders for this week:

Who doesn't love a bubble face?

Always take time to smell the flowers...

So proud of my Zachman.

He was inducted into his high school's National Honor Society Tuesday evening.

Thinking of & praying for my sis while she visits supporters in the Northwest as she is finishing up her time in the States before she returns to Russia.

stitchin' love for Sara

Sara is an antique collector. Sara is an antique seller. In fact, Sara has been busy nights & weekends getting stuff ready for a booth at an antique show in a couple weeks.

Sara has a Raggedy Ann & Andy collection.  A couple years ago I made an afghan for her with Raggedy Ann redwork. (I can't find my pictures, but here is my project plan:) *

I stitched her a Valentine pillow.

I sewed on a million thousands hundreds quite a few buttons.

Now I wish I had one...

I wasn't feeling well, and stayed home last class. Therefore I missed our homework assignment. (I guess I could ask the hubs, but...) I did my own "homework" this week. I started working on my cash envelopes.




of course, this is the most important one in our house... FOOD



found an antique silver button
(don't you love the paisley lining?)

WOW! the money fits!

Hey! Maybe I could sell a few envelopes to raise some cash...
