Tip of the day

If your making banana bread, zucchini bread or another quick bread and don't want to wait an hour for the bread. Put the batter in a waffle maker and cook just like you would waffles. It's delicious and quick. In Christ, Sarah

Sewing Aprons and stuff

I thought I would share with you some of the projects i've been working on. I have a granny square crochet blanket that i've been working on for awhile, the only reason that it's not done is because I started other projects. My resolution for the year is to finish that blanket and I am almost done, YEA!!! I love making my own blankets, rugs, aprons, clothes etc... If you can make something instead of buying I think that adds such a quality to it, that you just cant get with mass produced household items. I am also working on a scarf to give as a gift, I just started knitting so this is just a basic knit stitch which is all I have attempted. Here's a picture of it







I started an apron on tuesday night and finished it on wednesday morning, it is McCall's pattern 2947 out of this pattern you can make 8 different aprons. I always try and go to joanns which is the fabric store here and get the patterns when they are on sale for .99 . I changed the pattern a little bit. It needed to be longer and I didn't want the neck to be a tie, so I just made it to slip over the neck.Also I changed the pocket to a rectangle.  Here is a picture of it in progress and finished.

I will soon be starting some pajama pants for my mom and I.

Proverbs 31 Woman

Proverbs 31
10Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies

11The heart of her husband safely trusts her,
So he will have no lack of gain.

12She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.

13She seeks wool and flax
And willingly works with her hands.

14She is like the merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.

15She also rises while it is yet night
And provides food for her household
And portions for her maidens.

16She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.

17She girds herself with strength
And strengthens her arms.

18She perceives that her merchandise is good;
And her lamp does not go out by night.

19She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle

20She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.

21She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.

22She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.

24She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.

25Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
Thank you Lord
26She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness

27She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.

28Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:

29"Many daughters have done well,

But you excel them all."

Distinguished

30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,

But a woman who fears the Lord she shall be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,

And let her own works praise her in the gates.
