Small Treasure Tuesday I am grateful:)

   


Chantel over at  My  Thoughts and Treasures has a new linky party. I love the idea of THIS partee!  It brings to mind Phillipians 4:6-8 "Don't worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. 8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 


We can chose to focus on the things we are grateful for.  Today I have choosen to be THANKFUL for:

All of these LOVELY brown vials of MEDICATION. Today is the day I take my weekly dose methotrexate. It is an immunosupressive drug for my RA. There are times when it seems like my life is ruled by PILLS." When did I take the last dose of blahdeblablah." "Did I already take blahblah" "I need to eat NOW so that I can take blah blahBLAH" I'm sure you get the picture. Today, I will not worry about side effects, reactions, or wether or not I will be able to receive treatment in the future. TODAY I will be thankful for Medicaid, for a new Doctor who LISTENS to me and does NOT treat me like I am a number. I am grateful that I have medication to take and I am "guardedly" hopeful that this treatment may make a difference in my daily life.

I am also Thankful for Chantel, who has reminded me that not only do I need to remember to be thankful but that the Word of God INSTRUCTS me to do so!

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Monday 

Sew WHAT???? 0

I have FAILED, yet again, to reach my destination(AKA accomplish my goals, finish my TO DO list, you get the picture....)!  I had BIG plans yesterday. I did----I REALLY did!!  I did get a lot accomplished yesterday( well for ME anyways)  But when it came down to the one thing I wanted to do MOST of all......it didn't happen:(   sigh....lifting handkercheif to wipe away single tear....
Last night was for sewing.  I Planned for it . I looked through my patterns.  I went through my "stash"  It was something Quick& Easy. It was gonna be GREAT!

I got STARTED:

This is a plus size skirt that was part of a gifting. The elastic waistband was ShoT. Can't eBay it. Rayon Fabric. Gr8 summer print = Material 4 ME =  Dresses for ME & GOOSE . Whooohoo

I cut up the skirt  and measured out for the top of my dress. The material for the top is the same Turquise material I used in my last dress.  I  cut  out the top and played the PIN YOURSELF game......

 I even DID a little sewing work on it.

I am aiming for an empire style halter dress for me. Not absolutely sure about the one for Goose, though. Depending on my energy level it could be a pillowcase dress.....or something with a pinafore

 And

That is were it ENDED! Sad DaFeet....

Not that I've quit the dress, you understand? But that is were my brain & my Body QUIT on ME!

I keep looking at this "project" just laying around on my dining table. Maybe after church tomorrow.....

( we will pretend for now that I won't be exhausted after the service.....PLS don't tell on me:)

 I hope that YOU had better "luck" when it came to YOUR Fri. night plans!   

 Praying you have a Restful & Rejuvenating  Sunday,
