What the day brings

by Leave a Comment

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard,
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word!

I didn’t ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn’t mind).
I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that He’d be near you
At the start of each new day;
To grant your health and blessings
And friends to share your way!

I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!

Spick n’ span day!

by Leave a Comment

Every now and then I feel that I’m going to turn exremely insane if the house doesn’t get into order. The proclamation “Its spick n span day!” can be heard (enthusiastically bellowed by yours truly) followed immediately by groans (from children).
The deal is – no schoolwork for the day, but you have to work in return!
The best part is that it is now the afternoon and I have time to blog, read to the children and hopefully sew up that pair of shorts that eldest daughter is desperate for.

Oh, while I’m here I’ll mention the Crafty Mamas competition is ending soon, so if you have an entry for the “English Garden” theme, now is the time to get it in!

Au revoir for now….

Craft and Quilt fair

I dragged my sister along on Saturday, I thought it would be busy, but wow! I’m not usually one for group situations so I didn’t really enjoy being bustled around in a massive crowd. I did however, enjoy looking at the stalls and so many fabrics! I was very good and didn’t buy much, I think I was a bit overwhelmed by choice and didn’t want to get carried away. I loved the Katkins Designs stall and Karlene was lovely to deal with. Her dolls are inspirational and I finally got a turning tool which will enable me to make small dolls.

We had a real frost here this morning, I’ll have to inspect the garden for damage. It was so cold my hands hurt drying off lastnight’s metal cutlery from the drying rack. We’re off to the doctor this morning for the dreaded immunisations, one of my least favourite tasks as a Mum.

Beautiful home and garden

I love looking at pictures from Jackie French’s property,its just the sort of place I’d love to have one day.
I got a bit of sewing done today, worked on ds’s top but didn’t get to do the neckline (need ribbing). I also worked on an old UFO which is now nearly finished, its a wallhanging. Its very satisfying to finish something thats been lying around just because I lost my enthusiasm for it initially.
I’m sort of feeling in between with crafting at the moment, not really sure what I want to persue and just doing bits and pieces. I don’t really feel like painting either. I guess I’ll get my groove back. I’m sure going to the Craft and Quilt Fair on the weekend will leave me itching to get into it!

Out the kitchen window….

I’d like to see a rambling cottage garden instead of my neighbour’s brick wall and the dividing fence. In the distance I’d like to see paddocks, dams and trees instead of the street and neighbour’s cars.
My dream is to move back to the country, I’ve had it with suburbia! Sometimes I wonder why I ever came to the city, its just not “me”. So why don’t you just move I hear you say? Well, properties in the area we want to go to have skyrocketed in the past couple of years and we can’t afford to. Maybe one day, when the mortgage is payed off we can do it. I really want to bring our kids up in the country, but I don’t think its going to happen, I’ll leave it in God’s capable hands, if He wants it to happen then it will.
