::three in one::

Here goes three blog posts wrapped into one.

First of all.....Scripture memorization. How goes it? Just o....k....! I basically have the first two sections of eight verses memorized [what is each section called....I missed most of the Sunday school lessons on Psalm 119]. While I am not as far along in my mega memory month goal as I would like, I am memorizing and that is a good thing.

Secondly...I made my third pillow tonight.  I whipped it out like nothin' doin'.  haha!!  It feels so good to sew.  Now that I'm getting the hang of using my machine, I feel like simple pillow covers are too blah and boring.  I need to spice them up a bit.  Yay for progress!  I'm also looking into taking a second class over at my favorite sewing and fabric store.  Can. Not. Wait. 

Thirdly....my thankful list.


411. plenty of time this week to work
412. snow, snow, snow
413. laughter, homemade soup, and conversation around the dinner table with the family
414. a check in the mail for unused things sold on Ebay through a local store
415. green lights when I am in a hurry [never under-estimate them]
416. Oma is feeling better [one round of chemo down, five more to go]
417. my Momma [love her]
418. an email from a missionary friend [halfway across the world in Zambia]
419. a lower estimate and the price being approved to get the bumper fixed [I never blogged about my fender bender, did I??]
420. psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs

Happy Monday, friends...

::I was a winner::

A while ago, I was a winner over on Caroline's blog. I think I've won one other giveaway in my lifetime so I was ecstatic that I had won something!

Incredibly enough, one of the shops that gifted me was from a new blog/twitter/etsy pal. How cool is that?

So here is a shoutout to Savannah over at MaieDae!

The bobby pins are suuuuuuuuuper cute. I've stuck them in my hair a few times. They are going to look fantastic this spring when I wear my yellow spring jacket. I can't wait!!

::they came cutely packaged::

::up close and personal::

::with a sweet card::


Have a happy day,
