I Declare

I declare that God has a purpose for my life. I receive wisdom and revelation over the hope of my calling. I declare that every strategy of hell that has interrupted God's plan for my life will be exposed. I declare that every hindrance that has stopped me from progressing will be reveled and I will advance in God's plan for my life, I declare my faith will be stirred, and I declare new strength will come into my spirit, and I declare that the wilderness will blossom an God's glory will be seen in my life! I declare that the best is yet ahead.
       This is what I want to say today.                                                                                                                                                                         

In Rememberance for Freedom

Today is the day when old men and young men(and women) walk together in memory of time served for our country, whether it be in peace time or when at war. They are honored for giving themselves so we can be free. They are humble men, all of them would say they would do it again, and are blessed with thanks from all of us, but their common response would be,"just doing my job." As they pass by today, know they are lifting up more than just a flag, it is you and I they carry, so we can be free to be.... and here we can list a multiple things we can be free of, so I take a moment and list them and give my thanks for those who served. May God bless you and keep you.

This is my son. He is now serving in the Army. He saw two tours  in Iraq. Saw way to much evil, but did his job. He is now wounded in body, mind and spirit, yet he says he would do it all again. Such humble sacrifice, such honor among men. I pray his little one,( who is in protesting in his arms) will grow up in peace.
   He has earned a purple heart, and will soon be released from the army. I pray for him, that all his dreams will be fulfilled, in-spite of his injury. It is so hard for me to see him broken, I hope that he will heal.

My mini fabric collage for my swap partner

Well here are some pictures of my little fabric collage. I am not sure how I feel about it.....now, that is. I was fairly happy with it when I cut the thread on the last little detail, but then, I showed it to my daughter, and did not get a response, except, she asked what the theme of the swap was. When I showed it to my husband, he said it was to busy and did not look like my normal work. So,.... OK..., now I am a little afraid to mail it off to my swap partner.  What would you do?

New Baby Grand-daughter!!!!

She is here! My son and  his wife had their little girl on January 25th. I am so late in posting anything about her.

Lillian Grace Marie

 We are so pleased to have # four grandchild join our family. She is a little cutie, and we can not wait to kiss her little cheeks! They live in Germany at the moment, and will be stateside again in June.

Missing........So sorry

It has been a while since I posted. A lot going on in my mind, and then again nothing. Does that make sense?
 I have this embroidery job that I just can not get into, and it is keeping me from moving on to other things. I hate that when it happens, maybe it can be compared to writers' block??? The drive to get the job done has just not come. But alas, the customer called, and I am just about out of procrastination time. I HAVE TO get the job done this week.  So, it is going to be a long week.......
In other news. Christmas has finally gone. All that hard work is out of the way, including the ugly slippers that were suppose to go with the ugly wolf pants. Boy were they a trial and a half to make! But they are done. I call jobs like these my lead balloons. They weigh me down , and do not make me very happy. I have to do them, because my business requires it. Sometimes ya just can not say no.

 January 11 was a very sad day for me. I had to take my beloved kitten to the vets, and he did not come back home with me. Werthers was a good friend but he began to suffer to much with ailments, and it was best to say good-bye than prolong the inevitable. I miss his dear sweet little presence in my life. 
Good bye my little friend and thanks for all your "help"

  January 15th was the wonderful wedding day of my husbands lovely niece. What a special young women she is. the wedding was just beautiful, and set in the most perfect setting. It was a very lovely day! Congratulations Becky and Jake!
