My kids on the piano. Getting better every day.

My living room

I still need another can of paint for the rest of the room and my little hallway by the front door but here is what the main room looks like.

Love this and why we dont watch much TV. : )

This link is incredible and a must read it only takes a minute and it explains why I don't watch very much TV any more. The only time that we watch TV is when the babysitte is here. And Steve and I will on occasion for date night. But maybe that is even to much. Something for me to think about.

I cant figure out how to put this link on so that you can just click it so you are going to have to copy and past. But it is really good and I suggest you read it.
I will keep working to figure out how to just click on it.

The pattern was a little big but this was my first time sewing a dress. Well, really sewing anything. I love it and will be making all of the girls one or more of these. Got to make one for Corlie that fits better. But she loves it. Thanks Kellie for coming over and helping me. It was a great time. : )

Conquering the storms...... of life

My daughter came home with a piece of paper and said that she really liked this painting. I love Kinkade as well. So I took a look at it and the title of this painting is conquering the storms. I thought about this name and then I looked at the picture. In the sea there is a boat. Then I thought about what it could signify. We are the boat. The harsh water is the world and Christ is the light house who will guide us safely home. I love that behind the light house is a beautiful cozy warm house. If we can just battle through the storms of life and follow Christs light we will be able to make it home to His presents again. What a wondrous day that will be. I cant wait to show the kids this picture and share with them what I come to by looking at this picture. I may have to get my hands on this one.
