We have been busy as ever. Our latest project is a bathroom makeover. The past couple of days I've been ripping down wallpaper and will paint as soon as it's down. It's coming down, slowly but surely. I'm using fabric softener to dampen the paper and a putty knife to scrape off that nasty second layer! Uggghhhh!!!!
Hubby is making a new vanity and we have a lovely new top and sink in black and white just waiting to be installed. Before and after pictures would be nice if I can make time to post them.
Now on to thoughts of sewing. I found a great post with information that will be helpful to my friends who are just beginning to quilt. I've been quilting for several years but just recently learned what a jelly roll is myself! Hope you enjoy this over at Simplify. Camille shares some great thoughts and photos on jelly rolls, layer cakes, and much more. Just scroll down a few posts after arriving there.
Have a great weekend!!

Wordless Wednesday
Well, ok, maybe just a few words.......
We are enjoying the warmer weather SO much!!
Here are a few pictures to share with you.
First two pictures of Allie and Ellie wrestling and having fun.
3)Allie at her sewing class with the almost finished skirt.
4) My latest sewing project I'm making for a decoration for my living room.
I have it completed and will show tomorrow. Waiting for my hubby to make a frame to place this in so I can paint it black and hang on the wall in my living room.
Have a great day!

A gentle and quiet spirit
This week has already been very busy and so I really needed to take time this week to begin my day in prayer and meditating on God's Word more than ever!.
1 Peter 3:4 -rather, let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
As a Christian woman I should strive to have an attitude that is not demanding and harsh, but soothing and tranquil.
Father, help me focus more on inner beauty, which will not decay, and less on outer beauty such as makeup, jewelery, and clothes.
But there is a kind of beauty that will never fade, that is precious in the sight of God, And, amazingly, those beauty secrets are found in the letters of John. John tells us how to grow in beauty, so that one day "we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming." (1 John 2:28 NKJV).
