It is now ours alone.


We have yet a lot to do.
Or should I say I mostly do.

The vanity has yet to be detailed.

We again replace the string in the large blind.
This time we went to a Joannes house of Fabrics and found some twine made especially for the purpose.
Still it bound and would not pull open easily.
Steve went out to the shop and made a new part for it.
It is wonderful!
Now I have an open window again.
We did not choose to buy all new blinds.
The fix...$4.17 of .19 cent a yard drapery twine and a lot of effort.
Reuse and renew:)
I am eager to create some valence.

That quilt on the bed was made in June of 1982 three months after we were married.
I did not let any time go by before we had a quilt.
It was cool to see the embroidered date it is 27 years ago almost to the day!
That was all the fabric of our youths.
His mom gave me scrap and I used scrap I had left over from things I had sewn.The Elder was painted by my MILove, she was going to throw it away!!!!!
No Way!!!!! I told her to throw it my way.
I put some costume jewelery on the dresser and my bracelets.
Now remember I make jewelry...
That is my Indian wedding dress.
It is hide and beads and feathers.
That is a Tao's drum, and a talking stick.
Psalm 31 is in a shelled frame.
That is the self portrait painting.
Teeth brushing time.
We just finished family movie night.
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
I covered my eyes a lot.
Left me uncomfortable often.
Don't care too much for those sorts of movies.

Going through the vase of flowers in the living room and a few from the garage I was able to come up with this mix.

I really like it!
That whole corner is refreshing.
That is the figurine of my blog header.
This is the first time I found a place for it I really like.
Forget-me-not= true Love
rose, burgundy= Unconscious Beauty


Camellia= Loveliness

Here's to hoping all of you had fun this week end.
I had a blast doing our master bedroom suite.
I worked all day on the bathroom and turned it into a spa of sorts.
I will have to show it later.

I had read that why would any one want to take care of their own self in a stinky messy bathroom that lacked in charm.
I even did a manicure!, pedicure too!
I created a place where I would see the set up and take the time to show better care to my hands and feet.
My weight is also recently dropping.
I think I am beginging to realy care about myself.
Dove also really needs that to be exampled to her.

Out of the suite came everything little girl and all entered was woman and the masculine as well.
You might say it grew up this weekend.
Everything that is not of our relationship alone was removed into the proper places.

It is now ours alone.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
