Are we there yet?




Finished some projects and thought I would share them with you.
Last Thanksgiving I started my first hat...finished it last weekend.
The little bear was my first attempt at following directions and making I-cord. The I-cord needs some practice or someone to correct where ever I'm going wrong but I was mildly satisfied with crooked bear and decided to put a ribbon on it and hang it on the tree. The monster was a project that I saw in a kid's crafting book...I figured if a kid could make it, I bet I could too...and I did.
Today I need to start wrapping presents and making cookies.
Fortunately the weather has cooled slightly so the heat from the oven may actually be welcome.

Oh, and I have another Amen to shout out to ya'll,
On Facebook there is an application called Social Interview where you answer questions about your friends. At the beginning of the week it asked if I had ever had a dream about Brandon (one of Stephen's friends), I answered yes...."that he would have a passion for Christ and share that with his wife and baby"
Well Girlfriends, do ya know that he answered that my dream had come true?
My sister read that, and told him she was making her cry and they needed to talk.
If I could have some music playing right now it would be, Bringing in the Sheaves....actually that's the only part of the song I know so maybe the rest isn't applicable but it seems like it would. If I wasn't supposed to picking up my daughter from kindergarten right now I might look it up.

Staycation



Saturday it felt like we had a staycation. Josh's co-worker invited him and the boys to go surf fishing at Little Talbot Island but we all went. I thought that with Elise's previous fishing enthusiasm she would be a dead ringer for most fish caught...but what 5 yr old little girl wants to fish when there is a wonderful, albeit chilly beach to play on? I knitted...random scarf I probably won't finish but at least it gave me something to do while I enjoyed the waves.
I LOVE THE BEACH!
Why else would I go with them on our first cold snap of the season?
In the end though I gave up knitting and laid face down on a towel because I had been at the Y at 7 when it opened and I was ready for a nap. But don't you know the kids used me as a hurdle for their running races up and down the beach so I actually didn't get any sleep but it was relaxing.
I hope you had a relaxing weekend and are having a blessed week!
