Home made Hot Pads/Pot Holders and Scarves!!!

Hey everyone,

I am currently making home made hot pads and pot holders as gifts.  You get two round hot pads and one square pot holder for $7.00 + shipping which should be 4.95 for priority shipping.  I'm posting pictures.  I am also making scarves but have not finished the first one but will post a picture as soon as possible.  Scarves are going to be 7.50 and are 63" approx long and about 4 to 6 inches wide. 

If you want hot pads/pot holders email me at laurasfarnsworth@msn.com and you will be able to pay by MasterCard/visa or with your pay pal account if you have one.  I will invoice you through pay pal once I receive your email and will email you the day before they ship. 

Thanks for all your support by reading my blogs and visiting my sites.  May God Bless You all during this Christmas season!  Here are some pictures.

They are all tied with white but the other color can be most anything.  Thanks!

Feels Like Winter!

Okay so on Wednesday I was wearing shorts and flip flops and walking around outside.  Drove to the store with the windows down and the sun was heavenly.  Yesterday I carried a coat to my Mom's and wore it home.  Heat is on, and all the ceiling fans are off.  Two of the three dogs are wearing their sweaters.  The big dog needs a pony blanket, because they don't make dog sweaters for dogs that weigh 120pounds and stand six foot tall on their hind legs. 

Anyway, I have mini muffins in the oven for the dogs all though they smell so good, i might eat one.  ( It's oats and honey flavored)  Okay get a grip!  It is people food, not dog food.  Okay, so we drew names yesterday for Christmas at my mom's.  We did couples and i got my niece and her boyfriend.  I'm not sure what we are going to do for them yet, but I have a couple of thoughts. 

Every time I think about Christmas, or anything like that, I have heart palpitations...  No it's just that I want to do so much and money is tight, and I don't have any place to put a Christmas tree where we live.  I was really hoping that God would provide us with a new place to live big enough I could put up a tree and decorate, but maybe next year. 

Thanksgiving was great yesterday!  Ate too much!  Just normal for a holiday.  Looking forward to Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with Norman's family.  Of course if someone wants to send me on a cruise to the Virgin Islands I won't complain.  Soaking up sun on the beach with temperatures in the 70's and 80's sounds so good today!  But I would miss everyone. 

Don't forget your dogs for Christmas this year!  Go to http://dixiedogtreatsntraining.com  The What's new Page has a link to purchase my dog treat recipe book.  Your dogs will love you forever!..  It's not very expensive!!!  Please share the link and page with your friends. 

May you all be blessed abundantly in whatever you seek!  Have a God Filled Day!  Love, L

Thanksgiving Eve (I know)

Okay, I haven't felt this way about the holidays in years I think..... 

I worked over at the church today and put in 3.5 hours.  The office is closed on Friday, and my husband went to do a small repair job, which if he doesn't finish today, he will on Friday.  I just spent about twenty or twenty five minutes on the phone with one of my best friends, Jean.  She gave me a tip for a job.... I think I will email the lady and see what is going on.  It would be back in relocation, so I'm not sure.  It would depend on the job.  Anyway, I'm trying to decide whether to go ahead and boil potatoes and get everything ready for the potato salad tonight so that all i need to do is put it together in the morning or to wait.  Maybe I'll get my husband to make his cake tonight and then I can do the potato salad in the morning.  I want to get to my mom's by lunch time at the latest. 

Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.  To Family and Friends that read this, I'm wishing you all the best day possible!  May God Bless each and everyone of you abundantly in all that you seek.  Seek His face first in everything you do.  He is always there.  Love you all, L.  Have A God Filled Day!

Can't Shake It

Do you ever have days where your brain will just not shut off for a few minutes? I mean even why you are sleeping, your brain continually thinks. Or do you ever have a day, where one single thing takes all the brain capacity you have and will not go away? For some reason today has been one of those days. I woke up in an excellent mood. It was a little chilly, coffee was made and you could smell it all over the house... ahhh it was so good. I'm not sure what triggered the mood change. I'm not sure what made the thoughts enter and why they will not leave. It wasn't just one single thought. It was several. I did my devotionals this morning, prayed just like always. So why is the devil taking over? I prayed for God to send him away. So what are the thoughts that have been plaguing me today? Where am I headed? What am I suppose to do with my life? Will life ever be normal again? Why do things happen just before the holidays? I've asked myself that last question for years. I guess that is why I don't really enjoy the holidays any more. It always seemed that something either happens just before a major holiday or while everyone is together. I love visiting family so what happened in my life to make things change? I can probably answer that question, and all the ones above but it is best sometimes to leave things unsaid, not spoken. May God Bless You all. Love L
