Happy Sunday everyone! I hope that today is a good day for you and that you are happy!
I have been singing “Be Still My Soul” in my head…
(but I like the way David Archuleta sings it better!)
and just decided to share it with you:
Be Still My Soul
Hipster Bag
Does anyone out there want a fun beginner sewing project for the summer??? This Hipster Bag Pattern from Riley Blake is just the thing you need then! This project is perfect for beginning seamstresses and is a fun project for those that already know how to sew too!

Pippi Longstocking Book
When I was at World Market a few weeks ago I found this darling Pippi Longstocking Book! It brought back many wonderful childhood memories! I remember loving this book as a child and now I’ve found this darling chalkboard version on the cover!

Flower Pot Card
I have not made any homemade cards for quite awhile…and needed some for Mother’s day for my girls…so when I saw this Flower Pot Card I knew that I wanted to make them!
Bloom Quilt
I have been working on my Bloom Quilt and I am excited to say that I am all caught up to date! Yeah! Today I have rows 3 & 4 to show you. This has really been a fun project because the blocks are pretty easy to do and I can get them ready for applique and then take them with me while I am on the go…I love projects like that!

Don’t Look Back
Today I decided to do a thought, since I have not done one in awhile! I chose this Don’t Look Back Quote, because so many times we find ourselves look back when we really should be looking ahead!
It is easy to get caught up in the daily routine of life and forget what our focus and goals are. We tend to dwell on the negative when we really should put our energy into the future.
Sometimes as women, wives, mothers and grandmothers we tend to dwell on the past, the “what could have been” or the “I should have done this differently”, so for all of you out there that think that way sometimes (me included)… “don’t look back because you’re not going that way”. Let’s make today the best day ever! Throw those regrets out the window and let the new day in! Let the power of positive be your companion today and put on your shades because your future is bright!
This is a good quote to put on our bathroom mirrors, so that every morning when we are getting ready for the day, we will be reminded to look forward, have a positive attitude and tackle our day with faith and hope!
Thanks for Visiting today…let’s make it a great one!
Bloom Applique Picture
I am working on a new makeover for my front porch area and I decided that it would be fun to make a Bloom Applique Picture to go with the new furniture and decor!
