For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 (NKJV)

It's Been A Long Time My friends!

Well...it's been a long time since I've read blogs or even written one of my own. I've been busy with setting up my Etsy shop. Finally got listings up! I'm so excited to get things moving. I hope I do well. I Will Do Well! I know I will do well because I have my husband's, friend's, and family's support. My son keeps on inspiring me to keep on making snuggly quilts. My link is: www.etsy.com/shop/thickscnhp  Check out my shop sometime! I would love any feedback. Thanks.


On another note...I did my first belly dance performance on April 16th for our town's local Earth Day festival! It was so much fun! I enjoyed getting all dressed up, polished, and made-up. I was so nervous...naturally. The most nervous part was just waiting at the side-lines for our turn to the stage. Once I was up there with my fellow dancers...it was a blast and I totally for got all that nervousness. I'm quite proud of myself for venturing out of my little box and exploring the grand world with such great excitement. It's almost like being a baby learning a new word or taking that very first step...which by-the-way...my son is now in a full crawl, sitting-up on his own, eating food like it's going out of style, and pulling himself to a standing position! He's really on the move now world...look out! 


For now...not much else has happened. 


Lord, Thank You for all the bumps, twists, and turns in our lives. You truly have a way with teaching us our lessons of life. Thank You for giving me the courage to over come my obstacles and becoming successful. You are Amazing! May You continue to guide me in Your way and to become the "woman" after Your own heart.      Amen

Pleased!

As I mentioned in past blogs...I'm working on my quilting business. I'm still in the process of four quilt bundles. I'm quit pleased with myself for juggling family time, household chores, weeding, and the business. I have to give all the credit to God! He's given me the strength to get things done and given me the inspiration I need to quilt. I'm hoping and praying that I will do well. I'm having so many dilemmas though. Too many choices on websites, cards, fabrics, supplies, and anything else I need to get going. I have faith that everything will work out and run smoothly. With God all things are possible. 


Well...my son is growing up so quickly. He's now got 5 teeth and one more on the way! He can do the 'army' crawl, sit up on his own, and he's also starting to pull himself up on things. He actually uses me as his jungle climber. lol. It's so cute. No matter where I sit on the floor he finds me and starts climbing all over me. He can even dump all his toys all over the floor and stop playing with them just to climb me. It's too funny. It's amazing the simple things in life bring them so much joy. Well...I hear him waking from a nap now. Gotta go met his demands. 


Lord, Thank you for making things work our for Your glory. May You continue to give me the strength to get through each day and each challenge that accompany them. Help Nathan in his time of painful teething. May You help keep him calm. Thanks for all Your blessings.                 Amen
