Wednesday Thoughts…
The last two days have been interesting. Trying to remember the exercises we have done even as recently as during Mom’s back procedures. She was given some specific exercises and we have done lots of them over the years. Getting back into them and remembering how they were done has taken a little bit more…

Family, Time and Projects
On Friday, we knew it would be a busy day. It was our weekend with our girl and her Daddy’s birthday was on Saturday. Sometimes it’s difficult to know what she will want to do when we pick her up after the long school day. Although we, Mom and I decided we needed a change…

Too Soon
Looking for very specific items this evening at Hobby Lobby we ended up leaving with emotion threatening our tear ducts. The layers of life coupled with God’s timing at its best. The items were for the same project, but different phases of the projects I have been working on. Anyhow it took a little while…

Play Time… Learning
Technically I still feel like I am an amateur myself. Using a machine is much different than the sewing I have been doing with cross-stitch using my hands without a machine. Yet I was fortunate enough to find some paw print and Americana dog fabric lately, in the hopes to have some fun with my…
