Crafty Things

It's Crafty Things today and I had another busy week in the crafting department.  Our church is having a craft fair and tag sale tomorrow to raise money for our youth to go to camp this summer and I'm having a table.  I have to say that I'm looking forward next week when things will slow down a bit.

Here are the things I worked on.  The aprons all had a flower and butterfly theme happening.

I also made 30 tea totes.  The last batch I took with me to the ladies retreat all sold out.

Now is your chance to share.  Please feel free to link up so that others can see your creations.  Here are the rules with the linky.

1.  Type in the URL of your crafty things blog post (not just the blog address).

2.  Your post must be about something crafty you are doing - sewing, knitting, crocheting, or any other kind of craft.

3.  Please link back to my blog on yours.  The point of this is to get as many people as possible to join in and of course, it's just common courtesy. :-)  You can use my Crafty Things button if you would like.

I'm looking forward to seeing all your beautiful things!

    Terri, I'm not too good at linky stuff, but I just wanted to say "wow!" and "well done!" for all your hard work! :) xxx

    Very pretty, Are you going to put the tea totes in your Etsy shop? If you do, how much will they be? I would be interested. Hint, hint. :-)

    Have a great time tomorrow.

    Love,
    Debbi

      Debbie,

      I am after this weekend. I want to see what sells at the craft fair first. They are $2.25 each. I'll let you know as soon as I post them.

    Beautiful Terri! I really like the first apron...it is a very pretty shape and design. The only thing that I have made recently is a cotton dishcloth for my friend that was stopping by to visit. I hope once I get past doing a mountain of business paperwork that I can get back into more crafting!
    Best of wishes for a successful sale for the youth group!

    Blessings!

    Cute aprons, and I love the idea of the button accents on the pockets.
    Dang, Friday snuck right by me! I'll try to remember to participate next week!

Choosing Not to Kick the Cat

The choices we make can either be good or bad. So many don't realize that even our attitudes and feelings are a choice. We have a choice each day to make that day one in which we will react to our circumstances or choose not to react. I can choose to let someone else's bad day ruin mine, or I can choose to not take on someone else's attitude. When Dan and I were first married we worked for a sales organization. I still remember listening to a motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar who was talking about this topic. He gave the scenario of a man being a work and having a boss that was berating him all day long. The man then came home and snapped at his wife. His wife, in turn, yelled at their son for a small infraction because she was upset. The son was now hurt by his mom and pushed his little sister. She, being the youngest, turns around and kicks the cat! Zig talked about making a different choice by not allowing others bad behaviors and moods cause you to respond in the

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost
