The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY (December 8, 2008)...

Outside my window...there is already snow on the ground! It snowed Saturday, so it is past the point of being pretty ;o)

I am thinking...about my growing to-do list this week. December is always busy, no matter how hard we try to cut out unnecessary things.

I am thankful for...God's mercies that are new every day. I am just so undeserving. I want to please Him in all that I do, in my thoughts also.

From the learning rooms...we are having a slow-go December. We are just concentrating on the three R's.

From the kitchen...I am baking 10 dozen chocolate cherry cookies for the Ladies Meeting at church tonight.

I am wearing...a green top and jean skirt, comfy while baking today!

I am creating...quilt wall hangings, the invisible nine patch, for Christmas gifts.

I am going...to a cookie exchange with the ladies at church tonight.

I am reading...Psalms in my Bible and The Confession by Beverly Lewis for fun.

I am hoping...to get some stuff listed on EBay today for some extra $$$.

I am hearing...noisy boys :o)

Around the house...Christmas music is playing and the decorations are up. It looks so pretty.

One of my favorite things...sewing! It is one of those things that if I don't make time for, it will never happen.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Someone from church is coming over for dinner tomorrow night and is going to give my oldest daughter some pointers with the piano. Friday night is our Bible study, and Saturday is choir practice for our cantada. Doesn't seem like a very simple week.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

This one is for my mother-in-law. I am not a good "finisher". I still have to finish one seam at the bottom, I can't seem to do the "stitch in the ditch" so I just zig-zagged around it with white thread and it looks pretty good. I hope she likes it! I found the tutorial here.
