{ Blog 365 #23 - Happy Homemaker Monday 01/23/2023 }

 

Good morning friends, come on in out of the cold and grab a cup of coffee.

 

We are currently under a Winter Storm Watch and expecting quite a bit of snow tomorrow.  It's always this time of the year that the cold weather, really comes around.  

 

I hope you all had a blessed weekend with your families.

 

By the way, I will be coming around this morning, to visit everyone and catch up on the Blog 365 posts.  I'm sorry I don't have time to do it daily, but I still want to see what everyone is up to and leave a comment.

 

Now, let's get on with our Happy Homemaker Monday post, for today. 

 

Have a blessed week friends.

As I look outside my window:::
It is still pitch black outside, so I can't see anything other than my lights hanging on the gazebo. 

Right now I am:::
Sitting in bed, sipping my coffee, and working on this post.   

 

Thinking and pondering:::
About sewing projects I want to do.  I tend to leave my sewing machine packed away for months on end, then when I pull it out, I want to sew, sew, sew as much as I can. 

On my bedside table:::
Bottle of water, my cup of coffee, the tv remote and a crochet hook for the bag I'm finishing off.

My simple pleasure:::
Sewing.  Sitting at my machine, just listening to the rhythmic stitching and seeing a project come together. 

 

 

Looking around the house:::
It is so dark at the moment.  I don't need to clean, just tidy here and there, as the house has remained tidy all weekend long.  

 

There are a few dog and cat toys on the carpet, but I'll pick those up later.     

 

From the camera:::
I made this crochet pin holder, when we were still stationed at Luke AFB in Arizona.  I love it so much, it's one of my favorite crochet makes.  ♥

Bible verse, Devotional::: 

If Jesus really is the Lord of our lives, then we will follow Him. There is no if, and, or but about it.
