And, How, the Candle Flickered....

But, the light stayed on.

Because I started to sew.

 

Just putting needle to thread lifted my mood.

A few years back when we all went to Faust, we bought these jelly rolls.

..a set of three for $30.

We shared them and now are all making them up...Will let you know the progress!! 

I can tell right now that I will have to be adding some other fabric to it.

 

Choices for my pretty quilt dream... paperwork..

Mother's vintage boxes.

 Or/and...Christmas boxes I got after sale last year..

 Today was visitation day with Mommy.  

Here Evan and his mother help me make flower pens for the school secretary's office.

Male flexibility in finding a place to do reading homework.

Lynsey kills any roaches that may be around half dead after the bug man has come.

It is a macho girl thing.  She gets 25 cents for a dead one, and 75 cents for one alive.

She inherited the job from her older brother.

I hate roaches..those Palmetto bug things...OMG

Hate

So I have the children trained from a very early age...smart grandma.

Here is Lynsey explaining to me exactly how big the roach was that she bravely killed,

and disposed of outside.

And thus needed her 75 cents immediately.

She won't do snakes!!!!

 

Tigger, I am so annoyed with you.

  This is the one area I did not get to.  You know that there are finished projects.

They now need to be washed...Really.

Must you find the one spot where I do not want you???

Do I have to get you a basket too????

There is gratitude in the midst...just takes me a few..to find it.
