Dress

-
My mother made me this dress and brought it with her when she visited. It's very cute. I actually will need to take it in a bit in the hip area but other than that it fits great.

Thanks Mom!

    I love it! I've been wanting to make dresses in a similar style for this summer, but have struggled with finding a pattern that actually fits. Until I get done modifying a pattern, I think it would have been quicker to just make my own! :-)

    Oh you look lovely :) And the dress is very nice! I actually like my dresses bigger thru the hips and all...gives me more room to move ;) That way I can get down on the floor and be comfy :)

    Well done Mama :)

    Love,

    Terri,
    You look so lovely in that dress. What a delight to be able to take it up in the hips -- reward for all your effort!
    Your mother is very talented. I see where your talent comes from!

    Very pretty! Great job Dianne! Isn't it great when our moms do things like this for us Terri? My kids get so excited when my mom makes them something. Unfortunately, she doesn't make me any clothes anymore! :0(

    Have a great weekend Terri!
    Love,
    April

    Thank you ladies!

    Miriam, I will pray for you. It is discouraging, I know. So hang in there and keep it up. :-)

    Laura, now I have an image of you rolling around on the floor in a dress. LOL! Actually, I'm the same way. In children's church, I'm always down on the floor with the children.

    It looks great on you, Terri. The skirt is suppose to have a little flair to it anyway. I would leave it like that for awhile if I were you. Thanks for modeling it. :)

    Love,

    Mom

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...

Psalm 16 - A Rewrite

Every so often, I will take a psalm and rewrite it in my own words. I find it helpful to put it in my own "language." I did that this morning with Psalm 16. Father, I find my safety and security in you so please place your hand of protection over me. The only thing of any value in my life is you. You are worth more than the collection of all earthly treasurers. Lord, I find absolute delight in those who follow your precepts and seek to live righteously. On the other side of that coin are those who reject you and consciously turn their back on you. It saddens me that they have chosen to reject your beautiful promises. Father, you are my daily sustenance. You are the author of my past, the God in my present, and you are weaving together my future.  You have set boundaries for my life. They are not restrictions, but protections to help me walk in the path you have for me. The boundaries are not something to fight against, but are a beautiful reminder of the unique plan you have ...
