Just a Daisy in the Meadow

I love projects\crafts . . .  working with my hands . . . and so . . .

This is one of my favorite parts of the day . . . reading time . . . I “weave” a homemade rug out of scraps and listen to a Bible story

I call it my Shaggy Rug cause I’m using mostly drapery fabric that come unraveled easily . . . I kinda like the look that way . . . They are not crocheted or braided but are called Toothbrush Rugs . . . a few years ago I picked up a little booklet showing how to make them at a quilt show. Japheth made me a really dandy little wooden tool, that works better for me than my original toothbrush thingy because my strips weren’t fitting very well with the other one.

If you want to see more go to www.auntphillys.com  I like the oval ones the best . . . for at the bottom of our basement stairs, in front of my kitchen sink etc.

I don’t have time to write much these days, but thought I’d still post these pics . . . It’s a Sturgeon . . .

It took him a half an hour to reel this one in . . . . if only fishing for men were as easy . . .

Anybody know that silly Bumblebee\Fly song ? . . . Well, I think it was the first song I learned when I was little, and it’s about the only song I can play without messing up So you know that I am not a piano player, but we are having fun since this piano came here to stay. . . The boys have started lessons with Aunt Judi, (By the way, besides being the Best Bread Baker in the World, she is the Best Piano Player too . . . I LOVE her style of playing!!! )

And see the candle . . . I now can put to practice that incentive that  I’ve talked about on here before.

Anyway, back that stupid, silly song . . . I didn’t tell the boys to the words to it when I showed them how to play it (by the way it’s there favorite song) but today, I put a Scripture verse to it.  NOW I like it!

The name of the Lord is a strong tower,

The name of the Lord is strong.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the name of the Lord is strong.

“The righteous run to it and are safe,

The righteous run to it,

The righteous run to it and are safe, The righteous run to it.

- From Proverbs 18:10

For those interested or curious about what our cards look like, there is a link on my side bar (not the one under Pages though, something is goofed up there and Japheth is still working on getting the glitches out of that and can’t get that deleted, but down further past the Other Blogs.) Or you can use this link.

It is still under construction . . . but you can get a preview if you like. Just thought you might like to know.

I think the photos are a bit lighter than they appear on there. Since we took pictures of them while they were still in their plastic protectors, a few of them have a shadow thingy on the side.
