Home is the Heart of a Family
Life is full of up's and down's. We don't know our timing this is the place I come to write thoughts about, Family, quilting and crafts that bring peace and mental calmness. Surviving cancer and the scars still healing. The journey that has led me to know God our father. The journey I am still on that still has trials of faith.

FINISHED QUILT
After I cut all the circles and sewing them together in sandwich of two fabric circles and one batting I turned right side out. Pressed the edges. Took a square template and drew lines to sew the circles together on. (was not thinking of the edges, used a permeant marker. After washing quilt doesn't show as much. Considering embellishments like ribbon or lace as a trim to cover the black lines.)

For Today April 11, 2022
Outside my Window…. it is cool, quiet no birds singing, no squirrels playing
I am thinking….about money, bills how I was charged money I for something I did not order
I am thankful… healing, my burns are improving, one small spot right on incision is still hurting but is healing. Soreness is improving, swelling has decreased greatly
In the kitchen…. planning spaghetti making with my sons girlfriend when they get back from school today.
I am wearing... still in sweat top and shorts from sleeping. Well clean up and dress for day soon.
I am creating… cross stitch stocking for my third grandchild
I am going… to try and relax and enjoy today and the beautiful weather
I am wondering…… about many things, how I want to update the kitchen, what colors for outside the house that will look good with the brick.
I am reading……not reading but have been doing crosswords
I am hoping and praying… my son gets his home he is trying to purchase. His family can have their own place to call home. Set roots for themselves and their four children.
I am looking forward to…. getting started on my house, making it a home for us.
I am hearing…. grandbaby awake and playing, the other two watching tv before they start school. Otherwise it is very quiet morning so far
Around the house….had a nice weekend, spent outside the whole time. had everyone around, my four children all together at once. Wish I had taken a picture.
I am pondering…old age questions my sons approached me about them thinking of not just dad and I but their future.
One of my favorite things….having all my children together at one time.
A few plans for the rest of the week…not going out anywhere if I don't have to after leaving daily by 9am for over a month
Here is a picture I am sharing….
