Friday Fragmentary……

         

Disclaimer:

This post is Snippy! It contains bits & pieces of many things, including FRAGMENTS of my imagination. They are listed in NO particular order, having NO rhyme or reason ….

AT…..

        ALL….

There, I said it! 

I suppose I could have said that this post will have BROAD appeal. However, that might have been just a little too tame{{{grin}}}

The first little TidBit(and the most EXCITING, in my humble opinion:)

Becky over at Wheelchair Décor gave me a great SHOUT OUT! I love her outlook on life. If you would like to check it out you can visit her inspiring blog(and my feature) HERE!  You can read my original post HERE.

AND the next little morsel…

I tackled another Whimsy Couture PATTERN   from her Etsy shop. 

Rest EASY, this was an E-file pattern/tutorial. There was no actual Tackling involved with the pattern OR the Post Man!  Variations are included, which is important to any pattern, in my opinion! I really like having options which enable me to make it “my own”!  Her blog is great and She has a '>linkup PARTAAAY going on   and a Challenge happening! (click the pic for more details on the challenge)

WARNING:

The following pics are absolutely worthless!  They were taken with my $6.00 Web Cam. I am not impressed with this little baby.

NOT    AT    ALL!!

      These last two pics are of the matching caplet I made her. I found the tutorial at Prudent Baby!  Prudent Baby is a great place to spend some time. And I do mean SOME time!  There is quite a variety of subjects and tutorials!

the DETAILS:

The dress Top front&back was from a thrifted top. There is also a border at the bottom of the dress with this material. AS I am SURE you realize—The bottom of the dress is NOT in any of the photos! This is what happens when you add a fidgety 3year old & CHEAP webcam. {{GRINING widely}}

The bottom(and sleeves) of the dress were from a thrifted panel. It’s FLORAL, although you can’t Tell that, I’m sure! The apron & caplet are from the material I WON from SewMamaSew:)! I wrote about winning it <<HERE>>.  The caplet is actually reversible. All three materials were used in it.

The child model is MINE. PuhLEEZZE, DO NOT report me to the Labor Board! She has all her shots up to date. She is housed, clothed, cleaned, and FED by ME! A few pics are a decent trade off…. LOL

DisClaimer:

These opinions are MINE. I did not receive any form of payment/compensation for making them. This blog is authored by me. It contains my opinions, my thoughts, my life. If you don’t agree with me that is your right. (of course, you will then be WRONG, but hey….)

and the Last Fragment Standing…..

I would love to hear any tips/tricks/time management skills that YOU, the people of Blogsville, subscribe to in keeping YOUR blogs current & growing. Especially, if you are a Single Mom, or Chronically Ill or Disabled. How do you prioritize?  Are there tools that you use to make it easier? Is there a certain time of day you blog? Do you blog everyday? Do you leave the laundry in the dryer, in the basket, or on the floor??  Do you still remember your children’s names? I’d love to know!!

I’ll be linking up:

Hope you enjoy this “Keep YOU on your TOES” post! I’m sure it was richly rewarding! {{insert Cheshire Grin}}

Have a Happy Blessed Weekend!!

I’m on the BloggyWagon & more treasures….

 

Yes

I have jumped on the Bloggy Wagon and have a “Word of the Year”.

The first place I saw the “Word of the Year” was at  Tip Junkie where Laurie is having a Giveaway!  The word I have chosen is COURAGE.

  There where plenty of awesome Words there(and on some other blogs, also), but the Lord laid this one on my heart while I was contemplating the idea.  Courage is something I  NeeD, right now, as I try to find the next path the Lord wants ME to follow HIM down!

As I have commented on some other blogs, I am, also, grateful. I was the recipient of a Gift, the Sunday before Christmas. My Life Group (aka Sunday School Class) took up a collection one Sunday (that I was not able to attend) for ME. I’m grateful that someone followed the prompting of the Holy Spirit. I am grateful for their generosity. I’m grateful for the gift. Because of them, not only was I able to give Goose something NEW for Christmas, I able to give something NEW to 3 other children. Gods GOODNESS is such a TREASURE!!

I have some finished projects to show off, as soon as I remember battery replacements for my dear wonderful camera! I know I AM “sweet talkin” a piece of equipment but it SURE can’t hurt!!… {Grins Broadly}

What about YOU?? Do you have a word or theme to run with this year?

I’m hookin up:

Tuesday Trail     

 Follow Me Back Tuesday 

Have a HAPPY BLESSED day!

breathing in the New Year:)

BREATHE
                          Calm
                                            Blue
                                                                       PROZAC

                                                                                                        breathe....



OK, so I made up the prozac part.:)  However, now that the Holiday Madness has ended and the decorations have been whisked away(almosT), I feel the calming and serene effects of my favorite "mantra" {{{grin}}} And THAT is a whole nother post!

Grammy, Goose, and Mommy went to Animal Kingdom @ WDW this week. Courtesy of a family friend with tickets to be used up b4 the New Year! YeaAAA!
Although,  Disney is in our backyard, it was the first time for Goose, well, actually the first time to Animal Kingdom for all three of us.


First Animal Sighting (Ducks)



Uncle Bubba's Tree aka The Tree Of Life



Time Out with the Turtles:)



Searching for Nemo!

No pics of me in the wheelchair rental, and NO, I'm not adding them to a later post! I might show off the blister on my thumb, IF you ask nicely:) For those of you who don't know the Tree of Life is the center of  Animal Kingdom. It is HUGE!! And my lil' bro helped build it(and various other things in the AK). My Goose has christened it Uncle Bubba's Tree. After we got home she had Q&A with him about how he "builded it" :) So inquisitive for an almost 4 year old!

I have GREAT plans for the New Year:
Finsh my list of 10,000 sewing projects
Keep the house Spotless
Be a perfect role model for Goose
Blog Every Day with extreme wit and awesome tutorials

Most Importantly

Cling to My Savior and bring Him Glory!!
( This is the only one I have ANY hope of accomplishing:)
How about You?? What are your plans for this New Year??
Happy Sunday:)
