This week I’ve done a lot of scrapbooking both paper and digital. It’s been cold and rainy so we’ve watched movies together while I did the scrapbooking. It’s been fun. I’ve also had time to do some browsing on the interenet and here are some things that I found interesting.
I love the look of this pattern and could use some new shirts for this summer. This is going on my summer sewing list.
New T-shirt Pattern for Spring: Ladies Asymmetrical Hem Tee
I have never sewed with elastic thread before, but this project has me tempted to try it. I think I’ll be visiting a thrift store soon for some shirts.
This article encouraged me. This is the way we need to take care of each other. I can think of a few times when I would have appreciated a group of friends treating me the way this lady was. Christian love in action. I would also love to be part of doing this for someone else.
What these ladies did to turn a friend’s day around, and what they received in return
I love wreaths, and here are two pretty ones I would like to make.
Kirsty’s fun clothespin wreath!
For more wreath inspiration check out my Pinterest “Wreath” board.
And in honour of National Sibling Day here are three siblings in our family. We call them “The Three Musketeers”.
How was your week?
Intentional Simplicity 
I love that t-shirt – I need to try to make one for the girls, too.
The shirring skirt – love it – could you do it with cotton? I didn’t realize it would be that easy – now I want to try it – Em would be the perfect fit for a shirring skirt like that!
The article on ladies helping each other was great. We DO need to help each other. I have gone a couple of times now to help a lady in Shawnee who is 75 and lives in a camper – small one – with her husband and dog. She fell and has not fully recovered from it. Anyway, I go to “sit” with her while her husband has app’ts but I end up cleaning for her because she can’t do that anymore. Amazing what a vacuum and changing of sheets do for her!
I really like the rag wreath – seems simple, too 🙂
Those sibs are adorable and their bow ties aren’t too shabby either :). I need to get the instructions done as they are as easy as pie to make (esp since I switched to using elastic to put them on)

You can probably make those bow ties in less than fifteen minutes. 🙂
