Do you have a mending day?

Last week Miss Morgan and I talked about a hole in her skirt and how she was going to throw it away!  So, grandmamma introduced her to the fact that people do repair their items. She just smiled...then I told her that some folks have a mending basket and once a week they sit down and fix items in the basket...
So the next day Miss Morgan brings over a big bag of items to fix... She brought her skirt to stitch...a Minnie Mouse Chair.... a giraffe whom lost his eye in battle with a puppy...and a 3 eyed monster who had a droopy eye...
This truly changed my minds eye on what goes in my mending basket. Thank you for stopping by and letting me share my humble joyful journey....
Hugs and Peace

Kona Cotton, Sharpies, and Rubbing Alcohol Adventures

Happy Friday to all,
This past week Miss Morgan and I did a lot of creating... We used this technique on a t-shirt and Kona Cotton too...
 


 

 
This is Morgan adding rubbing alcohol and the last photo is her finished project....
I know I shared about painting on Kona Cotton but alas these pictures will be posted
in January's Kona Cotton bloghop...
Hope everyone is enjoying the last few days of fall...as winter is nearly here...
Hugs and Peace unto all

New Directions

Good Morning,
Some how some way... things keep changing in my life...  I have a new part time job and also have an on-line store.  My new company is  www.lolas.zhuncity.com.
Zhunrize changes the way people shop and enables new E-Com business owners to become financially independent by creating their own economy. 
I love Zhunrize for giving me the opportunity to support my dreams.  I also feel it truly is a company set up "For the people by the people".  Imagine having a family store where the family shops and the profit goes to the family and not a big company such as  Amazon or Wal-Mart.
Right now this is a soft opening and is a ground floor opportunity...

Please have fun checking out my store and I look forward to hearing what you think... I can also help create this for you too! 
Zhunrize has over 650,000 items and constantly adding more...cell phone services, energy services, travel, home security services too! Many other services are in the works and being added almost monthly..
This is a great company with great potential...

Thank you again for reading my post and sharing my simple joys...
This was heaven sent to me as an answer to my morning prayer...
The angels delivered this to me 90 minutes later.

Hugs and Peace

Just over a year ago.... my life crashed!!!  Totally!!! 
Everything I loved at work...shifted!  Events that followed
just shattered my spirit...  I just could not be and with out
support... I became a failure.  Words truly do not have the ability
to express what I experienced.
I recently asked for information as I was gathering everything to
give to a "life coach"... but both emails were opened and viewed but no response.
So after today... I will do my best not to look back and try to understand...
Why I could not get any help at any level....
Many have listened to my journey only to be left with their jaw wide open...
wondering as I did....
But I know as I go forth... I will be successful, I will find my new calling
and it will  be something that heavenly father will be happy to see.

So just as my front page opening states...
Let each be himself, and not somebody else.
Nor Covet what others hold,
Each one has his place,
That he may best fill...

Thanks for letting me share....
I believe it is time to be the best that I can....
Hugs and Peace unto all

Pin Cushion Swap

This month I received the sweetest country chicken pincushion..... and within minutes he had a name too!  I would like to introduce you all to Checkers...  Isn't he cool.  Well don't let him know but he is going shoppin at Joanne's in a few days cause he needs red head pins to put him to work... SHHHHH

 
Robin was who I was to create for this month. She likes the color teal and her email addy has the word "flower" in it. So I went into my box of favorite fabrics and picked a piece by K.P. Kids & Co. by Kari Pearson for S.S. I.   It is the center fabric.  I also added a few extra treats for fun.
This swap was for two months but if your interested it is still on going.. Contact Bea at  http://www.beaquilter.com/. She has a very nice website and also does machine quilting...
May our week be peaceful
