I harvested cucumbers, tomatoes, Swiss chard, beet greens, green onions, basil and chives from the garden. I used a coupon for a free bag of potting soil with any purchase at the nursery. My husband and I had a date night at home. I watched some comedy skits on You Tube (Tim Hawkins). I…
I am thankful that I was able to go to bed early (7:15!) last night. I’ve been up since 3:00 a.m. with the baby and it would be so much harder to face the day if I hadn’t gotten to bed early. The baby is now asleep (it’s 6:00 a.m.) and I have a load…
I’m thankful that I was able to listen to and talk with my daughter. What are you thankful for today? (And that’s a sneak peek at one of the dresses she made for herself in October! Once I get a photo of her in one more outfit I’ll share them!)
I’m thankful that I was able to sell a piece of furniture this morning that we are no longer using via a Facebook garage sale. I bought it at a garage sale a few years back, it served us well, and I sold it for a few dollars more than I paid for it! …
I am thankful that this sweet baby boy of mine took a nap yesterday and gave me an opportunity to sew! What are you thankful for today?
A couple of months ago, I came across a vintage-style free pattern for a cloche hat. I loved it, and so did Winter. Winter used the pattern first to make herself a hat, using the fabric from the bottom of a skirt (she turned a long skirt that I had bought at the thrift store…
I am very thankful for the opportunity to speak to friends around the world via video calls. I am so amazed each time I am able to do so. Yesterday a friend and I were able to introduce our children to one another, even though they are in France. Our children are similar ages and…
It has taken most of the year, but my tomato plants are finally producing! I picked a colander full of tomatoes from the garden. I am glad that it has cooled enough for my plants to flower and set fruit. I also cut basil, thyme, and chives from the garden. I purchased 3 framed…
I am grateful to have spent time organizing this year. While I still have some places in the house left to finish organizing, most areas in the house have been reorganized this year, and having the house in order makes life so much nicer! What are you thankful for today?
I’m thankful that I was able to be at church today. A year ago, I was in too much pain to go anywhere after having broken my tailbone at the end of October. A year later I still have some pain, but I can now get in a car and go places, and sit in a chair…
I’m thankful for the opportunity to go garage sale shopping with my mom this morning. It’s an unexpected trip; we usually only go on two Saturday mornings a year. She found a community sale for us to attend, and while I think it’s much smaller than where we usually go (probably one tract, versus an…
On this Veteran’s Day, I am thankful for the peace that we enjoy due to those who have served to make it that way. Many in the world are running from war and looking for a place of safety and peace. May we who are in peaceful nations be grateful that we can remain…
