{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 09/16/2019 }

I have a lot that I want to get done this week ahead, some painting, some crafts and I'm pulling out my Fall decorations, whether the weather is ready to cooperate or not.  I'm done with the heat.

I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend and wish you a blessed week ahead.

Let's see what we have happening around blogland.

The Weather:::

70 degrees right now, but it will get hotter throughout the day.  I've given up complaining about it because it's clear that it's going to do whatever it wants, no matter how much we say no to the heat  Hahaha

Tuesday - Mostly sunny, 94
Wednesday - Mostly sunny, 94
Thursday - Mostly sunny, 92
Friday - Scattered Thunderstorms, 88

On the menu for this week:::

I have meals until Friday, then the new menu will kick in.  BTW, I know I haven't added a Meal Plan Friday in about two weeks but those kind of posts take quite a bit of work to put together and the last two Fridays I just haven't had the time.  I'll try to get back to it this week but can't promise because I have no clue if I'll get around to it.

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::

I finished the sweater pumpkins which turned out adorable.  I have some patchwork table runners I want to sew, it's all ready to go, just need to get in the sewing machine, so if I have time today I'll do it.  Also want to make some pillow covers for the green living room. 

Looking around the house:::

I was supposed to take off yesterday and just relax, do nothing, watch some period movies and so on.  But, your girl can't sit still, and has to be doing stuff all the time.  Does anyone else do that?  I'll sit and relax and within 5 minutes I start feeling super guilty and need to get up and do something.
Anyway, I decided to give the living rooms a completely switcheroo.  Switched couches between living areas, moved the TV to the opposite wall and so on.  I'm so sore today, but hubby did help me move the bigger pieces, thankfully, or I would have been far worse off today.

The living areas look just like I wanted them now which makes me happy.

From the camera:::

Picked up this book at the dollar tree.  It looks really interesting and I can't wait to dig into it.  It is about David Douglas who was a Scottish Botanist, who actually gave name to the very well known Douglas-Fir.     

 

On my prayer list:::

♥ My mother in law Pat and her battle with cancer

Bible verse, Devotional:::

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:10, NIV
