Shaming myself into making this room work!

Too much furniture, too much clutter, too little organizing....
Things are going to change!
I'll update as changes occur.

I'm Thinking Political Discussions just Raises My Blood Pressure.

I'm gonna make a gluten free, low calorie, lemon meringue pie and enjoy the rest of my day.
I might even post the recipe if it turns out.

Twisted, but not discarded.

Unplanned,

This bracelet started out to be a cuff, but in my inexperience it just didn't work.
It kept going all wonky, and just didn't work.

I decided to twist it toward the wonk....(if that makes sense)
Then took a heavy gauge and wrapped it clockwise, then again counter clockwise, adding the big green candy looking bead.
A rustic hook and eye from the ends of the wrapping wire finish it off.

Another view.


Every time I wear it I'm reminded of how life sometimes just doesn't always work out how we planned.
But God comes along, and in His grace, He lovingly wraps Himself around us, holds us together, and makes beauty from our ashes.

Oh My Yum!

Take one over dike banana......mash it up good
Add 2 large eggs.
Beat all together until frothy.
Cook like a crepe.

Yum!

I smeared mine with peanut butter and enjoyed!
Much

Simple Pleasures

As I set here thinking about the events in Boston yesterday, I find myself, not only grieving, and praying, but also being greatfull for some small things.
Belle curled up in my lap.
A cup of cold water.
Clean sheet day.......

Welding /Soldering Lesson!

One of my prayer partners husband is a welder, and knowing I wanted to learn about working with metals, he gave me a welding lesson!
He showed me enough to know I can do it.
He also offered  to gather information about smaller tanks and torches for me.
They told me I could come play with the fire at their house so he can show me more as I progress!
I am so excited!
One particular design has been niggling my heart, and I just need the skills to make it.

If anyone needs some welding done in the western Oklahoma area, call Dobbs welding!
