The Baby Blanket Is Finally Done!!!

 (wuglyees)

      No, I didn't fall off the earth, or get run over by a n avalanche, or explode in a cloud of snow powder! ^_^ I just stopped for a minute, and focused all of my attention on some offline things that needed my attention...One of the things being the custom ordered baby blanket that I found out needed to be finished a week earlier than I initially thought!! O_O
 

      Looking at it in it's finished glory makes me so happy that it's....DONE!!! LOL WOW!! It was a whole lot more involved than I ever thought it would be...between the ton of little crocheted hearts, and the name being put on it in a different color of hearts, the ruffled edging, and the ribbons!!!
 

      I'll never get the amount of money for it that it's worth!...for sure!...but I'm okay with that! :-) I made it for someone who has a heart as big as all outdoors, and she deserves to have a gift made for her that's full of hours of love! :-] ♥
 

      And with the tons of snow, and the ridiculously cold temperatures we're having around here, I'm thankful to be able to have a baby be wrapped up in one of my blankets and keep warm!! ^_^

      On to the next project! ^_^ Will it be football slippers you think?! :-)) Don't hold your breath...but...you never know with me, do ya! ^_^ {If any of you are looking for a crochet item, please visit my shop HERE. I'm crocheting all the time!!}
 

      By the way, the washing machine has been repaired...YAY!!!!!!...Now all of the water in this house is flowing in the places it's suppose to!! LOL

      *** On a completely different subject, I just want to send out a personal "THANK YOU" to the dear, dear friend that sent us a gift ($$$) in the mail, but didn't put a return address or a name on the envelope or on the card to tell us who you were. ;_; Your generosity brought tears to our eyes, and made us so very humbled and thankful to have YOU as a friend. ♥♥♥

      Not very many people these days think to be thoughtful enough to help someone who is in need, without taking credit for it or wanting something in return. But you did! ♥ And while we may not know exactly who you are by name, we do know you by heart. And so does Jehovah God. And we'll remind him of you, and pray for a 100-fold generous return on your generosity, every chance we get!! :-) ... THANK YOU!!!!!! ♥ ***

    Okay...have a good rest of the day, Everybody!!! ♥ ^_^

Love Fills The Holes

Isn't  it wondrous,
this life that we live,
the holes we fill up
from the love that we give?

Even the hard times
make wonders abound,
because of the memories
of times safe and sound.

The good times, they come,
they fill us, they flow
and leave behind a smile,
like the hard rain's  rainbow.

So, its the love that keeps growing,
that adds wonder to life;
because no matter how peaceful,
or how full of strife,

Isn't  it wondrous,
this life that we live!
Cherish it always-
for the holes it will fill.
