Every Day should be something Special

Now, I need to know what people think of this!!! Do you like these idea's? Is there something different you would like to see done on a given day? (I may take it under consideration).
Talk to me, don't just glance over my site and walk away. It hurts my poor little "feelers". After all the idea of a BLOG IS, in part, "TO PARTICIPATE" and guess what this blog is set up so you can do it anonymously.
Imagine that? I don't want to know where you live, I don't want your life history, your email account so I can spam you (dern it anyway.) I don’t want your drivers licence number, SSN or bank information (well ??? how much have you got?? RLOL) . Now how many other places do you get to participate without all those things. Hehe.
Do you like any of my projects I've posted? (Thank you MK for leaving comments, I truly appreciate it. and others who have left a comment.) Let me know!! Do you have idea’s on how I could make them better?? _______________________ **Monday is Prayer Monday & goal day: Although every day is "PRAYER DAY', let us start the week off right with a prayer. Don't forget to put in your prayer request, after all prayer is stronger when "more than two, shall pray together on the same topic." (Matt 18: 17-19) So, lets pray together and then Set your goals for your week, let me know how you did on last weeks goals.
_____________________________ Tuesday is Trashy Tuesday: And NO not what you think. Another mans trash is someone elses treasures. Do you have a great way to recyle that you don't mind sharing? Do you have a "make something out nothing" project?
___________________________ **Wednesday is Happiness or warm Wednesday: Its hump day, we are starting to feel tired and we just need a reminder of why we go through "what we go through!!!" Personal Happiness what makes you happy, what just makes your day or finishes it off perfectly? What makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. What Makes you Thankful your alive?
________________________________ Thursday is Recipe Thursday: Share your favorite recipe with me, especially a low-cal or sf one. This gives us the weekend to buy what is needed and test it on our Guinea pigs. I promise to let you know if I tried it and what we thought of it.
__________________________________Friday is Fitful Friday: What little thing did you do this week to add to your "fitfulness"? Body, mind or spirit? Did you buy a new book to keep your mind fitful? Did you keep up on your exercise routine even though it was hectic day or week? Did you do something or did someone do something for you that totally lifted your spirits?
__________________________________Saturday & Sunday: I’m usually away from the computer most of the day on these two days so I’m not going to ask for anything on those day. YET!!! LOL!!! However don't let that stop me from you POSTING!!! __________________ **(ok, I saw "some" of this on other sites and I just love "some" of the ideas and they has given permission to pass it on to others to use it.)
I see where blogger is once again trying to run lines together. So I am putting lines in my text to seperate it. I really wish it would quit running paragraphs together. If I wanted one long sentence I would post one long sentence. Centering it doesn't seem to help either. ARGGGGG

Scripture & Prayer

Jeremiah 17: 14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed: save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.

Oh course, Dear god, when you do a thing, it's done to perfection. But I praise you for the best part: you know the perfect time to apply your healing and to bring your salvation. As I wait, make my patience ever stronger. Heal those that have cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, lupus, fybromyalshia, MS, the drug addict, the alchololic, the depressed, those that suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure and so many more depletating diseases. We know you are all powerful and all knowing and we pray this in your loving, glorious name. Amen

"Peaches & Cream" Yellow and blue wash clothes. For ME!! I was in desperate need of some new dish clothes. Bryan was so hard on mine, bleaching them and stuff. A couple are a little wonky. I was expermenting with a pattern and then lost my place and what I was doing. But for me, I don't care. They clean dishes and counters just the same. I often make dishclothes when I am practicing a new pattern, it is a great way to learn a stitch and make something useful out of the final project.
______________
4-10" scrap baby granny's sewen together. I realized when I was looking at the picture that I missed the edging on one side. So I'll have to fix it, before donating it. This is a baby size blanket. I closed my eyes, reached into my bag of scrap balls and used what ever color I pulled out, some balls were scarp balls that had been tied together. Not more than a few inches to a few yards of yarn for each color. I then carreid those colors into the other 3 blocks unless I had none of that ball left. Then I substituted.
__________________
I've noticed in my last two posts with pictures in it, it never actually posts the pictures in the order it shows them in when I am typing out the things about the picture. This is very frustrating. This blog also does not let me do a cut and paste. So I guess I'll have to start typing in WP and then coping and pasting it over so it's easier to change out. This site still needs some major work.
















The first pic is a PREMIE blanket with a matching hat, done in dbl stitch in soft green, cream, tan, with a very pretty edging. This is my very first set done for a PREMIE baby adn the hat was a real challenge. This set will be donated for one of my charites.
__________
The next is of a baby blue blanket for a family member on my husbands side. They just had a baby boy.
________
In the next row is a VERY large Granny, done in a country blue and 2 balls of scarp varigated yarn that did not have a label on them. This will go to Colorado for someone out there. It almost fits a full size bed. I did this back in March or April and it kept my legs so nice and toasty while I was working on it.
_____________
Next is a set of "Peaches & Cream" dish clothes in Faded demin and red. These will be a gift for someone. I just love doing these, they are so much fun and handy and work so well in the kitchen or bathroom. Both as a dishcloth or face cloth.
_______________
The last row is two scarfs. One is for an adult and the other for a child. The child one will go to charity for sure and the adult I think to Colorado. Now should I put fringe on them??? The child one, I am out of yarn for it and it maybe a little short.

Scripture and Prayer

I will both lie down and sleep in peace: for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety. Psalm 4:8. ________Lord, because of your promise, I can be still and calm even when it's hectic around me. Thank you Lord, for that inner peace that you bring to me and to all those who know you and believe in you. In your name I pray amen.

Comfortghan Coming together, more blocks received





The top pic is of all the squares I received as of today's date to go towards my comfortghan.____ The second pic is of a few squares I received from "grannytime" from PA over at the ville. She went above the call of duty on her batch. I was expecting 1 or 2 and look she sent me 5, Simply Marvelous. _____The thrid pic is squares sent in from Deeds in California also over at the ville. I love the hearts worked into the square. I could not pick a set of favorites out of any of these, Each one is so unique and seems to really tell something about the person who made them. Thank you. All of you. You've lightened my load on makeing and getting this blanket done in a timely fashion.

Prayer Monday

Proverb 16: 18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Pride is an admission of weakness: it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals. --Fulton J. Sheen

Our heavenly father, we thank you for the wonderful weekend you gave us with my dear husband. We pray that you bless him through this week, while he is gone and working. Keep him safe. There are so many needs out there Lord. Please meet them all. Heal the sick, feed the hungry, meet the emotional needs that need met, the financial needs that need met. In short Lord, do what you do best Lord. We know you are all powerful and all knowing. We know there is not a need that you can not meet if you so deem it. We thank you for all you do Lord. Bring those that do not know you Lord, who do not know your wonder of forgiveness, the openess of having such a friend as you on their side, Bring them to you Lord. Give them the peace and security that only YOUR LOVE can bring. In your name we pray amen.

Good morning all. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was filled with lots of painting and painting and more painting. It seems that old dry paneling we are trying to cover up is thirsty. It is just soaking in the kilz primer and stain block we are using. Three coats later and still looks like the we've barely touched the wall. So back to town we go for more kilz. It will more then likely have to wait until this coming weekend to finish it. I am beginning to think it is the room that will never "be". Every time we turn around there is a problem with it. lol.
