A beautiful thought . . .!

“In God’s sight, our cross is like a precious perfume which loses its aroma when it is exposed to the air –so we must make every effort to hide our cross and carry it in silence.” --St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

Summer time blues . . .

The heat of a California summer is creeping up on us so, naturally, we chose the hottest weekend to paint a bedroom! I have to admit that turning the dirty walls into a lovely, deep blue is pleasing. I get the fun part of the project and will be heading out for curtain fabric and pretty electrical outlet covers to finish it all off.

The best part of a project is the conception of the idea/plan and the last five minutes before completion!

Sewing hasn't suffered. I have gotten into making pincushions from pretty odds and ends of fabric. It is amazing what some fabric, embrodery floss and a cute button will do. I've made twelve of them but, yes, I CAN stop any time I want . . . I just don't happen to want to yet!

Soon, I will have both my college girls home for the summer. It sure is hard for a mom to have her children in four different parts of the world most of the year. I don't know who has more of a problem with this growing up stuff!

Finally, having the promised hot fudge sundaes for my birthday treat. We are only three weeks late but I'll take one anytime and forego complaining. I even have whipped cream on hand.
