A Dozen Paisley Napkins

Napkins and napkin rings for my future Aunt. I love this pattern and color scheme so much that I want to make some for myself!

Made out of a thick cotton, sewing the corners was sometimes difficult with so many layers to sew together, but my mom and I managed. I had a lot of help from her, since I am not exactly proficient at using the sewing machine or undertaking sewing projects. I can pretty much go forward and backward on the machine, but that's all! It's a good thing my mom knows more and is willing help me even though she has a lot of other things to do. She is the best! 

A Puppy Bouquet for You!

A dear friend sent these to me today and I thought they were too cute to not send to you, also! We especially thought of you when we saw these, Miss Rebecca.

Hope you all have a lovely day!

God is so BIG!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day! The sky was a deep blue and the clouds were so white and fluffy. I was driving home from the grocery store when I heard Viv in the back seat say to her sister, "Did you know that God stands on the blue, Lil?"

Immediately I knew that she was talking about the sky so I asked her, "Why do you think He stands on the blue, Viv?"

In Viv's characteristic scratchy little voice she replied, "Mommy, He stands on the blue because He is so big!"

Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord God, Thou art very great; Who maketh the clouds His chariot: Who walketh upon the wings of the wind!

Psalm 104:1,3

Viv-isms

Tonight at dinner, Viv turned to me and said, "Mommy, can I have a tambourine?"

The first thought that went through my head was, "Just what we need around here - MORE noise!" Instead I said to her, "Why do you want a tambourine, Viv?"

She replied, "Because I really like to eat them!"

"Viv, what are you talking about?"

"Those orange things in the bowl on the counter, mommy!"

Ah, tangerines!

Last night I needed to take something out to the garbage. I carried Viv out with me and as we were walking back up to the house, I pointed up into the sky and said, "Look, Viv! See how bright the moon is?"

"Yes," she said as we gazed up into the sky in wonder. Turning her head to see all the stars above she questioned, "I wonder where the Little Nipper is?"
