We had a beautiful day here in California today. So off we went for a walk in the park with the grands.
There is a path around the lake that is a perfect walk. Lots of beautiful scenery and wildlife.
A little snow on the mountains all around.
~Enjoy where you are on the way to where you're going.- Joyce Meyers
In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.
You cannot be grateful and bitter.
You cannot be grateful and unhappy.
You cannot be grateful and without hope.
You cannot be grateful and unloving.
So just be grateful.

..with the grandchildren!
This is an area that I don’t show very often. This is a little area we have carved out for the grandchildren to play. They have their little kitchen set and table and chairs.
We have taken some time lately to spend with the grandchildren. We were going to make new bedding for their doll beds, but we ended up making pillows for their own beds. Well Isaiah decided that he needed to have a new pillow as well. His mom tried to explain that the pillows were for the girls dolls, and he quickly added real quietly “but I have my little doggy and stuffed animals that need a bed too”. Couldn’t argue with that! So we dug out the box of fabric and found some ”boyish” fabric for him. It’s a good thing that he was ok with some Americana prints. Layla chose Strawberry Shortcake. She has the Strawberry Shortcake sheets on her bed that belonged to her mom when she was her age, so the new pillow will fit right in.
Today was Sophia’s turn(we couldn't have them here to do this all together, we just wouldn’t have accomplished any thing!!)
She is so stylin!
And I had to share little Ashlyn! She is getting so big!

While business has been slow, we have taken some time to create some new items for the business. This is a thermostat cover, or can also be used as a door bell cover as well.
Now we have two different styles to choose from.
We have an open house coming up at the end of the month at the “new store” and need a few more things to fill it with. We have made this new dry sink for the store and really like how it turned out.
and a few valentine items…….
Some custom items………. and door boxes
Hope this finds you all well! Thank you so much for sharing your day with me! Blessings~Sara
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk by the fire…it is the time for home.” ~Dame Sitwell
comfort food~
cuddling in~
hhhmmmm winter??!!
The holidays are over, packing things away, getting that “clean look” to the home, staying warm, building friendships, just kind of “being”
Wishing you a cozy winter~
Hope you are staying warm!

Learn how to carry a friendship greatly, whether or not it is returned. Why should one regret if the receiver is not equally generous? It never troubles the sun that some of his rays fall wide and vain into ungrateful space, and only a small part on the reflecting planet. Let your greatness educate the crude and cold companion. If he is unequal, he will presently pass away; but thou art enlarged by thy own shining.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o'kindness yet
And days of auld lang syne
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne
Blessings for an amazing New Year! ~Sara
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
