I think I have the most adorable neices and nephews.... all of them..... and today one of those adorable ( or should I say handsome) ones is having a birthday..
He is such a sweetie....
.. Chris and I spent the morning running errands .. one of which was paying the county taxes, which upsets Chris every year when we do it.... Our taxes took a hundred dollar a year jump... so despite trying for the rest of the outing that a steak wrap from our favorite resturant would be just the thing to help him calm down, he drove home mumbling something about beans and rice and the economy... didn't help that our cable bill notice came and is going up 4% and the electric rates went 5%...AND we had gone by the grocery store and everything in the whole store is more expensive.... We got home and he spent some time burning things in the back yard and then came in and finished the sink in the spare bathroom.. nothing like the state of things to get him a bit geared up...
,,,,, I spent the afternoon doing a bit of sewing...
I made a few hearts for our themed tree at the shoppe...I used this free pattern @ All ABOUT YOU
I also mastered the my first embroidery piece on my sewing machine.... I am in love! It was a simple heart, but really so easy to do and I plan on spending a big part of tomorrow experimenting with letters and words. It really was fun!
I finished reading Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree by Susan Albert Wittig. I have been reading the China Bayless books for years and am so happy that now I have another one of Susan's series to keep me busy .
I have managed to stay on task with both my bike and my Bible reading. They say 21 days to make a habit !
Tomorrow I will be having the give away for Crystal's Book " Money Saving Mom" be on the look out!
I am off to stitch awhile..
Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.
Proverbs 10:4 (NIV)
Have a fine day.......all day long!
