At Home This Week

At Home This Week
This week has been an industrious one. For example, my oldest daughter made two quilts and a set of curtains these last few days. One quilt was a throw for her bed and the curtains were for her room. The second quilt was a request from a woman from church who wanted some of her favorite T-shirts sewn together. My daughter earned $20.00 for the job. :) She also rearranged her room to best compliment the colors she chose for her newly sewn items.

My youngest daughter has been baking this afternoon. She has baked chocolate shortbread (I've sampled quite a bit of this already). At the moment, she has a custard in the oven and cheese rolls ready to go in after that. She doesn't cook like this everyday, but she does create on a fairly regular basis. It's wonderful to see her show such an interest in kitchen work. :)She's hoping to have time to bake a cake to take with us when we visit friends out of state this weekend.

My son is four and has been busy playing. He spent a good bit of time making Play-doh animals and feeding them. It's important to keep your animals well fed. :)

These things along with the normal day to day chores have kept us quite occupied.

It's good for a mama to see her chicks busy working with their hands.

Psalm 63:5 "My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise You." :)
