    We went to visit a friends church yesterday, she sang Mary Did You Know. She sang it beautifully, it is my sisters favorite Christmas song and she said it was the best version she had ever heard. There was a great service and it really touched on some of the things we have been struggling with. After service, we went Christmas shopping to try to finish off our last minute shopping after shopping we were all starving so we went out to eat.

A Week Of Great Fashion Looks For Chilly Weather

Monday:

Hey there! Welcome back! This week we are preparing for Thanksgiving, but I guess most of we Americans are. We have put up most of the Christmas trees the rest we will wait until after Thanksgiving. The front porch now is aglow with soft Christmas lights. Imitation candles rest in every window and Christmas music plays all day long.

Tuesday:

In my family, we always have at least one tree up by Thanksgiving (sometimes more). My Grandma use to do all the decorating when I was little but now that I am older and it's not so easy for her to dart up and down ladders I have taken it over (under her careful supervision of course). This year I am using grapevine garland instead of the green stuff or whatever you call it to keep the colors as light as possible.

Wednesday:

 My dad's nature tree we plan on decorating tonight when he gets home from work. It is a little over 8 feet tall so if I look short in these photos that's why. It is always fun decorating the tree as a family especially when we get the real one. I love the smell of fresh Christmas trees! It always makes me happy!

It is pretty cold here, actually, it snowed today. The dogs had fun chasing us in it. My mom tried to get some shots but most came out blurry :( oh well guess we are just too fast. Still fun, though.  It has not snowed here in the last few years.  They say it will just be a dusting today but I will enjoy it while I can.   Do you get snow where you live?

Time to go and get eggs for the day and I am bundled up for sure. It sure has gotten chilly here fast.  I miss the warm weather but I do love the colors of the fall.  I hurry up today as the wind is especially cold.  Brrrrrrr...

Sunday:

Nothing like a warm and cozy house with a fire in the hearth and a good book to read.  I love this spot for my devotions.  The gentle morning light coming through the window and the beauty of the Christmas Tree.  It sits right by the fireplace too so it is warm.

 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. 

1 Corinthians 13:1-7 MSG

Well, that is all for this My Crazy Life... I will leave you with this thought.

Keep in your mind and your heart the excitement for Christ, like you did when you were first saved.  Don't let the trust and love you felt fade away, no matter what happens.  Keep in your mind always your reward in heaven.  Keep patiently doing God's will.  Keep fellowship with believers, encourage people in their faith and walk, help people who have gone astray.  Then, let's outdo one another in being helpful and kind to each other and in doing good.


Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

Have a prayer request?  We would love to pray for you.  Contact us and we will pray with you and for you.  

Blessings!

Stitches & Thimbles #2

My mom and I actually drafted the pattern for this skirt and I absolute love this it. It is so comfortable!  (we call the style a Mary-Margret Skirt). Its a simple circle skirt but we designed it to be able to either have a zipper or elastic waist band. 

I cut my pattern out and pinned it right side out.

 

I am using french seams on this skirt so it (Here is a link on how to do it)

This what it looked like after I sewed it.

I trimmed the seam 

Flipped so wrong sides are showing.

.

I ironed the seam.

Sewed the seam again.

This is what it looked like after. Then I added an elastic waist band hemmed the bottom.

This is what it looked like finished. To see more pictures of this skirt visit Modest Monday #12. 

This skirt is the same pattern just with a zipper instead of elastic. To view more photos of this skirt visit
