What A Day Brings Forth
Sunday, December 7th, 2008I never know what a day will bring forth around here. But do any of us know? No. Life just unfolds, and we are blessed beyond measure when the day ends with everyone safe and healthy, and hopefully with a cheerful heart.
There is something very satisfying about not wasting anything. A couple of days ago I baked some sweet potatoes that were on sale for 29 cents a pound. Oh, I did stock up! The baked sweet potatoes were not all eaten, so I used what was left to make a sweet potato casserole this afternoon. It was SO good.
I have a couple more baskets of sweet potatoes in the pantry to use in the next few weeks. And I am not beyond planting them if they start to grow.
I found myself with an hour or two this afternoon to work at my sewing desk. Not too long ago I bought this shelf at a thrift store for a couple of dollars. Today I took the door off. I have a project in mind, but I’m still thinking on it, so I just put the shelf to the side. For now.
Princess of the universe got her first sewing lesson this afternoon. We were making things for the doll house and she wanted to make two little pillows for her project. I showed her how to fold the fabric right-side-in and then stitch around. She did very well!
In the meantime, I was working on my own project for the doll house, and I think it turned out very nice indeed! Even now I am posting more details over at Homemade DollHouse. You might want to pop over there soon to read about it.
A bed fit for a princess!
