Sewing

I like to sew. Started sewing about a year ago when I came up with crazy idea that I should make all of the gifts for friends and family for Christmas....  I had to jump in with both feet, and I have to say it was difficult.  I was in over my head and sinking fast... but I managed to pull it off.  By the time Christmas came I discovered something, I really liked sewing. Really liked it.  Since that time I have been sneaking away to my little basement "sewing room" (its cold down there) to lose myself every so often in some wonderful creation that I made with my own hands.  I am learning new things every day. Sewing blogs are a blast.  What a  great big blogging world it is!  Who knew? 

Vomit

Well we have been hit by the inevitable "puke flu" !  At least Gina has, Samantha has scurried off to her room to ride out the storm which is now over....  at least we are hoping it is all over.  Samii was watching Gina when it hit and proceeded to invite our poor wonderful neighbors over to handle the situation.  We are truly blessed to have such people so close by (thank you again for saving us Don and Cheryl)! 
I really hate when the bug comes a calling but who doesn't right, 12-24 hours of gut wrenching pain and nausea.. blah...  I would like like to thank you God in advance for sparing the rest of us!

let the fasting commence

21 days of fasting to begin tomorrow.  It is kind of like lent.  I will be giving up cheese ( Lord give me strength) and bread / pasta.  We as a family will be limiting all of our tech time TV, computer, ipad, iphone) to only educational or essential email communication.  So I will not be back until... well 21 days.  Wish us Luck! and Grace!
