Psalm 121: 5-8 (KJV)
 5The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
 6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
 7The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
 8The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

 This picture was taken by my hubby when he was in Florida a couple springs ago. 
Back then, we were "just friends." He got up early to see the sunrise on his last morning there and sent this picture to my phone. I have loved this picture ever since. 
It seems like such a peaceful place to be, doesn't it?

Wishing you peace this Sunday and all this coming week through!

Boho Chic Headband

 
This week, I had the pleasure of testing out this pattern for Sarah over at sarahndipities

  

She is so creative! 

 

Her pattern whipped together like a breeze with an excellent end result.

If you enjoy easy, yet rewarding patterns, then head on over to Sarah's shop. Or check her out on Ravelry. You will be glad you did! 

Have a blessed weekend!

Yummy

Blueberry muffins in oh-so-cute baking cups. 
Mmmmm...

Not much going on here today. Helped Mimsie unload literally thousands of pounds of food at the food pantry she heads for our church. Tuckered us out, but for a worthy cause so its a good tired. Heading back to school tomorrow. First day for teachers. 
Kiddos come back next Wednesday. Wish me luck!

Have a happy day!

Inspiration Board


 Last Sunday afternoon was gloomy and rainy, so I decided to undertake a project that would bring some cheer to this otherwise drab cork board.





I started by trimming a fat quarter up the sides with pinking shears. It was a bit short on one side, so I filled in the gap with lace from an old curtain tieback. Without a staple gun, I opted to secure the fabric with clear pushpins spaced roughly every two fingertip widths apart. The clear heads catch the light like little crystals framing the board, so I am rather glad now not to have had the stapler. 

As always, I have a million tiny projects in the works. Looking forward to sharing more soon. In the meantime...

Happy Crafting!

Baby Blankie Reveal








I adore how this soft, chunky baby yarn made the squares fluff up like a puff quilt! The lighting here isn't the best today, so I apologize for the greyish tone cast on the pictures. The colors are actually very soft & warm . Oh, well. Such it is sometimes. I have many other WIP's I cannot wait to share soon. Till then....



Happy Crocheting!

Monday Lovin's

The vintage sweater clip my mother 
gave me for Christmas.

My first-ever, perfectly-matched, Vera Bradley stationary set. My father actually picked that out 
for me! Not bad, huh? 
(And yes, that is my hands and camera reflected in the paperweight). 

My current mantra on a nice, large mug o' coffee. 
What more can you ask for?

 Vintage Pyrex nestled in a wavy-edged,
ceramic pie plate.

Happy colors to cheer my day. 


Finished the baby blanket this weekend past and 
am looking forward to sharing it with you soon. 
Have a blessed Monday!

"So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock. And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
"
Matthew 7:24-25
Amplified Bible

 I am joining Renee at Sewn with Grace in doing Sunday Scripture.
Have a blessed Sunday!
