We miss you

Our dearly loved full of personality little Jasmine. Has gone on, we deeply miss her.

Her absence is much noticed.

Crocheted rug

Have been wanting to try a crocheted rug for awhile.

I stumbled across a tutorial over at crazy mom quilts
How easy!

We gathered up all the old t-shirts and began.

What I have learned one rug takes alot of t-shirts.

The reason the colors are not mixed well is I started planning for 3 different rugs.

Thinking I had more than enough to go around. Well, was I wrong this 30 x 30 took every last bit. It also has a more raggy look then the tutorial due to knotting some pieces in. I am going to trim them up to have a neater look.

This rug is going in #1 sons room.

We are collecting t-shirts for the next rug.

Now everyone wants one.

little princess loves dresses

I need to learn how to take pictures.

See if I can get a better picture of the dots on the dress.

The Simple Womans Daybook

For Today July 6, 2009

Outside my window....the sun is shining very bright very early in the morning.


I am thinking....of the week ahead and the plans for our delayed 4th celebration


From the learning rooms...portfolio prep for our year end evaluation.

I am thankful for...my new car. I have wheels again, and nothing is owed on them! This is from God. It was a gift we did not ask for but a need we had with no real means to make it happen.

From the kitchen.. planning for our weekend cook out.

I am wearing...my nightgown I need to iron my clothes.

I am reading....Power of the Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian.

I am hoping...we manage to keep our home.

I am creating....a black dress for my daughter, will need it for orchestra and choir performances.

Around the house...things are quite so far the 6 children are not awake as of yet.. Silence can be a gift at times.

A few plans for the rest of the week... my week is all about Saturday we have the acres to mow and food to shop for and prepare.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...




Peggy has taken the Summer off, but visit her here to see what Simple Woman's Daybook is all about. To read more Daybooks, link to Grandmother Wren. Thank you ladies for hosting this simple reminder of the little things, it helps me stop think and reflect.

Outside my window, what do I see…

but my sweet hubby and his dad building our front porch…at first it will be just a deck the length of our house but when all is finally finished it will be a wonderful screened in front porch.

Where the kids and I can sit and read, do school, quilt, knit, crochet and just sip our southern sweet tea on those summer days talking….or morning cup of coffee as sun comes up..

I am so excited I have always want a screened in porch to sit and relax…
