Hobbies...

Hobbies can be

a way to get away and refresh...

to take our minds off of the day-to-day

things that happen in our homes.

My hobbies have changed over the years...

from reading

to gardening

to quilting

to laughing with my children

to baking...

Different hobbies for

different stages of life...

Change and growth is good.



I made this wall-hanging quilt inspired by a quilt given to
my oldest when he was born.
The edge all around is the red and tan checked :)



My wall-hanging inspiration :)

I love landscaping and working with flowers!
Daisies are just such a happy flower :)

This was my very first quilt wall-hanging :)

Baking just makes an ordinary day extra-ordinary!

We love to be silly!

We LOVE to laugh!

 Lord,

Thank you for giving me the ability

to bless my homes and family with special things

like quilts,

baked goods

flowers

and laughter!

You have made each of us different

with different interests

and ways that we can be

a blessing for anyone

around us...

especially those who live with us...

our families.

Give us the ability to see

how to take time

for using our hands and minds

to refresh our spirits

as we take time away from the

ordinary

and make life for our families

extraordinary!
