Short & Sweet

 



This week I started working
on a project for Spring . . .



To be revealed at a later date.





While I was going
through some old papers
looking for some information 
about my sister's birth, 
(for her children)
I came across this photo.



It's an old school photo. 
my Mom is the tallest girl  
in the photo.

I just love that I found this :)

🌱🌻🌱🌸🌱🌻🌱

Here's praying that you all have 

a lovely week . . .

stay well my dear blogging friends.

Spring Fever

 





As the days start getting longer 
I start thinking about gardening. 
The weather is much too cold 
to do anything yet 
but I can plan and start 
a few seeds inside. 




This year I've decided 
to do a garden journal. 




I haven't done one 
in several years, 
it is fun and it's a good way 
to record what worked 
and what didn't work. 



I purchase some seeds 




And I save some. 


I'm cutting the size 
of my garden way down this year. 
Instead of rows I redid 
the whole garden and made four 
small beds leaving room
for a small fountain and a bench.

I did this last fall.
can you believe it I used
42 bags of beauty mulch!



Well that's what I've 
been doing as I dream of Spring. 
 
I love going out in the backyard 
and picking fresh vegetables 
and I love watching the process 
from seed, to tiny sprout, to fruitful plant. 

 

Consider the lilies of the field, 
how they grow; 
they neither toil nor spin, 
yet I tell you,  
not even Solomon in all his glory 
was arrayed like one of these.  

Matthew 6:28 and 29

My Way Of Celebrating Birth

 


I love having baby quilts

on hand when I hear of 

a new birth.



At the moment I had none,

so I've just finished this one for

a little girl and will soon

be planning one for a little boy.



If you quilt or do any sewing,

I want to share one of my favorite

tools with you.

This pen makes a sweet blue line

that disappears the moment water hits it. 



It's wonderful for marking quilting lines

 to get everything lined up perfectly.

(I purchase them on Amazon)



I made six or seven baby quilts

last year, to give away and donated.

Baby quilts are so much fun to make.

And even more fun to give away😊



This is the front.



This is the back fabric.


Well that's my post.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.

I wish there was a way to put

the kettle on and ask you to

sit awhile and share a pot of tea

or coffee, your choice.

God bless you all,

Your blogging sister
