Simple woman's Daybook

For today...June 15, 2010

Outside my window...  Sun is shining (finally), there is a

light south wind blowing, and everything is looking so green,

colorful and fresh from the past weeks rain.

I am thinking...  How fun it was to learn and make a new

project today.  Thanks, JoAnn!

I am thankful for...  The rain we have had and that the

strong East winds we had Saturday did not damage

our home, etc.  However, lots of limbs and leaves to clean up.

Also, that it has been awhile since we've had East Winds.

I am wearing...  Green capri's, white tee shirt and flip flops.

(What no levi's!)

I am remembering...  The frustration I have felt recently while

trying to make a new project.   (More about that later)

I am going...  To work in my garden later this evening after

dinner. 

I am currently reading...  "Take Two" by Karen Kingsbury.

I am hoping...  To finish my "frustrating" project tomorrow.

On my mind...  Father's Day.  What to get for my son's.  

Always like to give them a little remembrance.

Noticing that...  My Caspia is in full bloom and how pretty the

lavender color is.  Need to pick some and dry it before the 

blossoms are completely open.

Pondering these words...  "We...tend to evaluate others on the

basis of physical, outward appearance:  their "good looks," their

social status, their family pedigrees, their degrees, or their

economic situations.

"The Lord, however, has a different standard by which he

measures a person,...He does not take a tape measure around the

person's head to determine his mental capacity, nor his chest to 

determine his manliness, but He measures the heart as an indicator of the

person's capacity and potential to bless others."   Marvin J. Ashton.

From the kitchen...  Oriental Chicken Salad from Applebee's.

A friend dropped off left-overs from work.  Yummy!  And on

top of that NO COOKING! 

Around the house...  Noticing that I haven't taken my

fabric purchases to the sewing room yet.  Today JoAnn

and I found several fat quarters that will be perfect for

Lynette Anderson's Scandinavian Christmas project.

One of my favorite things...  Having my windows open,

feeling the cool breeze that blows through, listening to the

songs of various birds that visit my yard.

I am wishing that...  It was not the middle of June

already! 

A few plans for the rest of the week...

1.  Finish my "frustrating" project.

2.  Work on my patriotic table topper

3.  Cut more square from all my scraps

4.  Sew binding on my quilt

5.  Take time to enjoy these quickly passing

summer days

6.  Lunch with friends

From my picture journal...

This cute little guy was part of the table decorations 

for our "Scatter Sunshine" evening at the church

last week.  I was lucky enough to have my name

drawn and to bring him home after our evening of

sharing a light dinner and working on pillowcase

dresses.  I think when all of them are completed

there will be about 110 dresses.
