Thanksgiving Blessings


Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone out there in the blogging world! We are so grateful for this time of year where we can count all of our blessings and remember all the things that God has done for us. This past week on Tuesday night into Wednesday I caught the flu. It had me out for two days. I was really tired but Mike was here to look after the kids. It is so great that he has a job with enough time off to do things like that. His boss even made it so that he didn't have to take a vacation day. Bonnie was here to take care of the kids on Thursday. She is such a blessing to me and my family. She has pretty much adopted us like we were her own. I look forward to every Thursday spending time with her.

On Thursday night, Cameron had his Thanksgiving celebration at school. I was glad that I was well enough to go to that. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. He got to dress up like and Indian with an Indian name, Wise Wolf, and be our guide for the night. He showed us all that he had been up to at school and some of the artwork that he had made. He is so creative. I don't know where he would have gotten that from ;) Then we were able to partake of a bountiful harvest of desserts. Unfortunately, I did not think that desserts would be so good for my newly recovered stomach so I stuck with only a couple. It was fun to see Cameron interact with his friends and teacher. He just adores her. She might even be better than Mommy. Probably because she never yells at him.

We will be heading out to the family's house this week for the Thanksgiving festivities and work. I can't wait. It will be such fun. Oh, by the way Mom and Dad, I just want to warn you ahead of time that Keira screeches at mealtime. We are working on it, and I think she did better today. She just gets excited about eating. She also started eating real food and her feeding herself has helped with the screeching. She just thinks that Mom and Dad are too slow about getting the food to her mouth.

Tonight is Mommy Night

I am so glad that tonight is Mommy night. It is so good to get some piece and quite once in a while. I have not really done much of anything except to relax tonight. I woke up very early this morning and have not had much time to rest. I should be in my sewing room working on some of my jobs that God has blessed me with this week. So far my sewing business has gotten off to a great start. Just this week I have had an order for an embroidered ladybug, two pairs of pants to hem, and two place mat purses to make. Yeah! I also have about 14 other purses that I am making to send with Bonnie to a craft fair in Columbia. I hope to sell at least a couple of them. I haven't even begun my Christmas shopping yet because we have had so many seasonal bills and unexpected expenses. Yikes! Christmas is sneaking up on me. I had better get to work.

Check out My New Sewing Business

I have recently started up a sewing business. It is basically custom orders with a few specialties like my place mat handbag/diaper bag. This is the item that really prompted me to start the business. Friends have seen the purses I have been making for myself and they have urged me to start selling them so I thought why not? I love making them and I definitely do not need all those purses so here is the result, a new business. Check out my new blog with some pictures (I promise to have more soon). The link is below under my favorite links. I will have more pictures with other stuff later. Oh, the name of the company is "The Scarlett Thread" which is a name that Mike thought up because it has a spiritual meaning also. It is the connecting thread (story) throughout the Bible of God's redeeming love for all of mankind. Pretty cool. Anyway I am really excited about my new endeavor and if you ever need anything sewn for you, you know where to look.
