As I write... Monday Morning
The weather.... The sky is bright and sunny. "Blue skies shining on me nothing but blue skies do I see." It's chilly outside, but I haven't looked at the temperature. The trees are sporting bigger leaves, some are even full grown leaves by now. It's nice to look out in the yard and see shade again.
Right now I am... writing a little post to you before I head to town to return some videos and go to a doctor appointment. Thank you Jesus that I can get medical care!
A quote to share...

Praying for your doctors appointment and good results.
ReplyDeleteI have a big to do list today..whew!!![ I procrastinate with ironing, Did I tell you, I hate that job!!] SO, first thing this am, I got the ironing board out, and ironed and ironed and ironed.Feels so good to get it done..[DO you think it would be ok, if i told hubby to not wear any ironed clothes. just leave them hanging???? hahahahaha..]
Have a blessed week.
Thank you Judy! I procrastinate ironing, too. I think it's perfectly acceptable to tell your husband not to wear any ironed clothes. Tee hee!
DeleteI receive that blessing!
May you be blessed by our Lord and Savior JESUS, too!
Laura, it worked!! My dress to a skirt, I mean! Before I cut anything, I investigated it closely. I decided it might be easier to cut it about 2 inches above the *skirt* part and turn/hem that under into a waistband. Sadly, I didn't need elastic lol, but I took the ties that had been lower and sewed them into the new waist. I did everything by hand with pins to help guide me. I sewed all along, attaching the rough edge to the existing seam so nothing would show. Instead of using the ties in back, the ties will be used up front. So, for the cost of a few feet of thread and a couple of hours, I have a new summer skirt with pockets! I was so tickled that I nearly danced! I'm eying my closet for any new ideas. I saw that ruffles were *in* this year. I'm not a ruffly girl as I need no poufing anywhere. However, I thought a little sleeve ruffle might be a nice add. I have really long arms and I have a long sleeve linen blouse that has always been uncomfortable because the wristbands are about 4 inches too short. But it's a Victorian style blouse and I love the front. So, I'm going to cut off the wristbands, add some elastic at about the elbows, hem the rough edge, and give myself a ruffled sleeve blouse that is perfect for the summer humidity. I'll post my results later!
ReplyDeleteSorry to be so long-winded, but I love when others share ideas that might help me out...I hope this does the same for anyone like me that's facing summer and few ideas and dollars!
Good luck with your doc! You reminded me that I haven't gotten my yearly test results back from my physical. I will call them today for copies.
Sun is shining brightly here, too. So beautiful & green!
I might sit out on the patio today and do some reading.
Blessings to you!

Thanks for telling me about your skirt. I need to try to make mine, but I have been distracted. I've also got an apron that I cut out and forgot! I would probably feel better if I sewed.
DeleteBe blessed,
Laura
Have a great day and week. Instead of procrastination I call it ironing on demand!
ReplyDeleteIroning on demand is pretty accurate around here. I don't know how long it would take me to do it all.
DeleteEnjoy your week Anne.
Laura
Prayers for a good report at the doctor today...
ReplyDeleteAnd may I add that I currently have an ironing pile waiting for me?!
Have a cozy week, my friend. : )
Thank you! He ordered some tests. I've never seen so many comments about ironing!
DeleteSounds like a productive weeks list. I do not iron! I do not like to iron! So I buy most everything wrinkle free or ask my mil to iron for me. (cause she LOVES to iron) ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your quote! And your dinner menu...Funny! I hope its filling!
I don't normally plan a meal until I pull something out of the freezer. It works for me that way!
You have a beautiful family Laura!
Enjoy your week my friend!
Hugs & Prayers,
Amy
Everyone needs a mil who loves to iron! Tee hee. I hope you have a wonderful week!
DeleteLaura
Hope all went well with your doctor's appointment. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
ReplyDeleteI was referred for tests. Thank you Jean. I would appreciate prayer for healing and for courage.
DeleteBlessings,
Laura
Hi Laura! So fun to see more fellow HHM friends! ;) Loved looking around your blog. Looks so fun!
ReplyDeleteI want to visit Ree's store so badly. One of these days I'm going to make a big road trip of it and get there.
Wishing you many blessings on your week ahead. xoxo
Thank you Carrie. We went today. We waited almost two hours outside in line for lunch, but it was a great experience. Take a friend so you have someone to talk to!
DeleteBe blessed!
Laura
P.S. The countryside is beautiful in NE Oklahoma.
Jealous! Her store looks so fun! I would have to go to The Vintage Pearl if I was in Tulsa too, but I don't see that in my near future. Grandbabies are better and they are in Kansas City! Sorry you need more testing. The testing and subsequent waiting can be frustrating. Praying for good results! ;)
DeleteCome dust for me and I'll iron for you - just hate dusting! Love Mt. Washmore, isn't that so true? Praying for good test results for you.
ReplyDeleteNot crazy about dusting, but I'll trade!
DeleteBe blessed my friend! I'd love it if you leave me your email or email me directly so I can reply directly.
Laura
Believing God right alongside you, sweet friend. You are often on my mind and in my prayers...God is on the throne and in control, and you have His full attention!!! Love and appreciate you. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Deb. What is The Vintage Pearl? Grandbabies must be better than anything. I'll know someday.
DeleteI started Romans last week. I've been using the Life Study bible but all of a sudden there was NO commentary or historical references to anything. I was so disappointed! I found a Bible Study book on my shelf for Romans and have been using that. It's a lot slower than just reading the Bible but I'm gaining more insight into the book of Romans than I was getting so there is a bonus! I also have The Excellent Wife on my shelf ready to read next. Fun to see someone else is working on the same studies I am.
ReplyDeleteRomans is a hard book for me... probably the hardest of the New Testament in my opinion bar Revelation!
DeleteBe blessed, thanks so much for writing to me Terri.
