campwhatamess



I bought this plain red table-cloth at a thrift store that was selling linens for a dollar a bag. I wrote 'campwhatamess' on it for Lydia to embroider. She right now can tie a knot at the end of the thread, thread the needle and adjust the hoop. She just does the plain running stitch....which is fine for right now.......

I am going to fill the table-cloth up with objects and words about camping!
I have been lax about having projects for my girls.
We have the KJV Bible on tape and a new time's tables tape to listen to..........a perfect way to spend a day, because we can't go outside, because it is raining cats and dogs, because we're on the rainy end of Tropical Storm Aaron.

Very nice. I think that is a great way to memorialize an event and I need to have my daughter try a project like so.

I think that your Lydia, is the one who entered my caption contest, and she is one of the winners! Feel free to stop by, penofjen.blogspot.com

Great idea! I feel the same way... Cameo I want you to learn how to do this and this and this and we end up spending more time not doing that, that and that! UGH... Have a great day sewing!
Love,
Chas

Michele, it's Erin.

We are feeling better, I hope you all don't get sick.

The tablecloth sounds like a great idea. And a dollar a bag?? JACKPOT!! :)

Tell Lydia I love her top. It's bright and cheery. Something to brighten up those rainy days.

Yes, our thrift store every once in a while has linens for a dollar a bag and is it ever fun!
I find all kinds of neat things....sometimes very old table cloths and cloth napkins.
And lots of times, plain things on which we embroider!

(theresa, I saw that it was Erin after I blogged.........) Now its DEAN.

Mrs. Mobunny,

I wasn't sure if you'd see my response to your question about the Classic Batter Bowls so I thought I'd post it on your blog as well. (o:

@@@@@@@@@@@

I, too, have some stainless steel bowls that I love.--They belonged to my grandmother and I loved her dearly. (o:

The reason I still love the Classic Batter Bowl is because there are some things that shouldn't be made in metal (like lemonade) and I also like that the glass ones have lids. And although I have and use plastic I'm not a big fan of it because I believe it emits things into food.

But if you've gotten through life so far without glass batter bowls then you'd probably be just fine without them! (o;

Oh! and I was wondering how come you don't sign in when you leave comments? You have a lovely blog but many ladies can find it because they can't click on your name and visit your blog. (o;

Blessings,
~Mrs.B

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
