One thing Madelyn and I *did* do, on Saturday, was attend a friend's baby shower. :) It was a lovely time and a wonderful celebration of her first child, due to arrive next month. I saw some old friends, who I haven't seen in a while. One of the things that I gifted to the mother-to-be was the little baby hat, I knitted, in the picture above! :)
I have been working on some other knitting projects, when time allows, and will be sure to share those with you soon.
Sunday, I received a few early birthday presents! My secret prayer sister from church left me a bag full of lovely goodies including homemade soaps, lip balm and a candle (pictured below). She also made me peanut butter pie (one of my favorites)!!
My sister was also in town and, since we probably won't see each other before my birthday, brought my gifts along with her! :) I was so excited to open the prim *window* below...

Our garden is still producing lots of corn...so guess what we have for dinner, quite often? ;)
(Look at Madelyn's little face of determination...that's the way to get those husks off!)
White dishes in the corner...used tonight for a delicious supper of beef roast, mashed potatoes and green beans! :)


Hoping you are each enjoying your days...and moments. For in a blink, they are gone and we need to make the most of the life we have been given. Let that Light shine through you! :)
As always, thank you for the visit. It's always such a gift to read your comments and emails and get to *know* you, as well!
With a big, warm smile,
Katy :)

I know just how you feel about easily getting overwhelmed. I am exactly the same way! I always need peace and quite when I can get it. You do such a great job knitting! I would love to learn how to knit, but finding the extra time to sit and learn is hard to find in this season of my life with two young children. By the way, I LOVE your swing Chris was sitting in! Hope you have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteBecause I've been having somewhat overwhelming days I've started knitting again. Relaxes me. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday tomorrow! You deserve the very best day.
Glad that you were able to find some slower moments. I also get overwhelmed when life get overly busy. We are also having some cooler temps and I am loving it! Have a great Tuesday!
