Our Church's bulletin board.  Sorry the picture's a bit blurry.  I just had to do the polka dots!  :) The verse at the bottom is Proverbs 31:23a "Her children arise up, and call her blessed...."

 

 

Hey y'all,
Yep, we're still around, just been busy with life.  Just stopping in to post some pictures of a couple Sashay Scarves I've made lately.  Ever since the first time I saw these beauties, I loved them.  Then I found out that they were knitted and was not very excited.  I don't knit, see, but that didn't stop me.  I just had to figure how to make them.  Our cousin, who is a pro at crocheting and doesn't knit either, made some and told me how easy they were.  So that was that.  I made up my mind to do it.  Let me tell ya, the first few (more like hundred) rounds were not so easy.  I did it completely wrong and kinda' just made it up as I went.  (I tend to do that a lot, but this time it didn't work so well.)  Finally, I found a how-to video that explained it well enough for me to understand it.  I'll try to get you the link in another post.  She explains it so well and goes through step-by-step!  Perfect for me!  The other videos I found already assumed I knew how to knit and that was frustrating me.
One skein makes a full scarf and they're pretty long!  The cheapest place for me to buy the yarn is Wal Mart.  Ben Franklin has more of a variety, but they're more expensive.  
Anyways.  I did it!  I've already made three, but only have pictures of two.  Sometime soon, I hope to make an orange and black one.  You know, for the best baseball team in the world, the SF Giants!  :)
If you don't knit but crochet, you can still make these, but I recommend the knitted scarves.  They turn out fuller and sturdier.  I tried the crochet pattern.  It was easy, but not as pretty.
Hope y'all have a great day!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey y'all,

Did y'all have a good week?  
What was your favorite thing this week?

Happy weekend!

5 FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK!  

"I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel, so bad!"

So, here are a few of our favorite things: 

  

1.  Celebrating Dottie's birthday last Wednesday!  It was a truly special day.  My family made me feel so loved and special!  They spoiled me!  I wish I had pictures of everything to share with y'all, but I don't.  :(

2.  This absolutely scrumptiously, delish peanut butter pie Dixie made for my b'day.  It's her own recipe and let me tell you, it was amazing!  Layers of peanut butter, with mini Reese's and chocolate crust, topped with more mini Reese's, chocolate syrup and whipped cream.  One word:  YUM!!!!!!!

   

  

You can stop drooling now!  :)

Makes you just wanna' grab a fork and dig in, right?

3.  These awesome polka dot streamers I found at Hobby Lobby.  They come in black n white, red n white, pink n white and another color, but I can't remember.  Sadly, I didn't get them.  Why?  I have not a clue!  I probably end up buying one of these days! :)  They just make me happy! :)

     

4.  This adorable coffee rug my brother gave me for my b'day.  Doesn't it look so real?  Can't you just smell the lovely aroma of the coffee? :)

  

5.  All of the other amazing gifts that my family and friends gave me.  I'll just list them since I don't have pictures.
SF Giants socks and earrings

Hey y'all,
Sorry we've been a bit absent.  We just dropped in to encourage y'all to pray for all of those affected by Boston's bombing and the explosion in Texas.
God is still in control and He knows exactly what's going on.  I'm reminded of the verse I Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you."  God still cares about America and He still hears our prayers!

Have a great day!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
