I have been in a crafty mood lately so I made a dress for the 'little princess' at my house and a headband to match from on of Papa's old dress shirts. It is a red, white and blue theme for July 4th. I took a page from Granny's frugal upbringing and made a tank top out of the left over material. Waste not, Want not. I still have a smidge of material left. I wonder what I could make with that? The material was so soft due to many washings and wearings. Reusing old clothing to make new might not be such a bad idea. I was pleased with the results and will share photos soon.
I am counting my blessings today. It seems to get me into a better mood and I am rather stressed today due to my sis and ma being out of town. You know how I worry! I was thinking that I am very blessed to live in the country. Our little dirt road doesn't get much traffic and I love to sit out on the front porch and enjoy the view. The ceiling fan makes it bearable in the Georgia summer. My hydrangeas are blooming like mad. My husband was really proud of that and kept suggesting(nagging) that I go and take some pictures, so I did.
I am so blessed that the kids are healthy. Sometimes in the midst of being a referee for all the squabbles I forget that this is a sign of health and happiness. Seeing the way that they interact with each other I wonder if the world will be ready for them when it is time for them to fly away. I think that each of their personalities is so unique. They are all passionate and I love them each to pieces. My family is my greatest blessing.
God is always near me. My relationship with Jesus is the highlight of my life. I realized a long time ago that this relationship was to come before all the others. Truly, I cannot be a good wife, mother, daughter, sister or friend without first coming before God and having an intimate relationship with him. I want to live a life that will be a blessing to Jesus.

God Bless You and Don't Forget to Count Your Blessings.
