Happy Sweetest's Day! Duane and I celebrated a day early with a yummy meal at Olive Garden. I had been longing for a good steak and ordered their 8 oz. sirloin. It was breaded with parmesan and herbs before cooking. It was incredible!!! I ate every last bite. lol Tonight we had a Taco Salad meal with the kiddos and shared a bottle of special Raspberry Sparkling juice. The kids were quite excited when the fancy goblets come out.
This afternoon, while Duane was working, I made this cake for him. It looked and smelled delicious. I didn't have a bite though.....gluten....and sugar.....sigh.....I have put myself on a 2 week sugar fast. This is day 5. My sugar-withdraw headache has finally ceased. This is good for my body....but oh so HARD!!!
I've been so incredibly busy with housework and teaching Callie each day that my sewing has been much neglected. Here is a project I sat down and did on Friday. A lady at our church asked me to make a walker bag for a neighbor that had liked the bag that she had(that I had made). I had fun going through fabrics and coming up with something bright and cheerful. This picture keeps rotating....sigh....Anyways, the one side with 2 small pockets and 2 medium pockets. The have a bit of elastic at the top in a casing to keep them from flopping when things are inside.
The other side with one large pocket with elastic at the top. I didn't have any bias tape to match, so I made my own up. That was fun!! Now I think I'd like to get one of those bias tape binders to make the process go a bit faster. Maybe for Christmas.....:)
Thanks for looking! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!!

Cute, yummy-looking cake...and nice you could make that bag to help that person! =)
Regina, could u please come over to my house this week? I need your help. =) I want some Victorian pillows for our bed...for my birthday next week. The pillows I have found are ADORABLE but expensive!! I don't even know where there is a store around here that sells fabric (remember we just got to Arg. 9 days ago), and if I found material, I'd have to hand sew my pillows. Have you ever hand sewn pillows and had them turn out ok? Could you please breathe a pray that God will help me to find some pillows for a GREAT price? Thanks! =)
Blessings,
~Heather~
Regina,
Thank you for your 2 nice comments on my blog!
I really appreciate your help in praying for my pillows for my birthday. Some of the pillows I was seeing were $40.00 to $80.00 PER PILLOW! UGH! =[ That is why I was so discouraged at first...but the Lord helped me to find some for $5.00 and $10.00! YEA! So, I bought 4 and am making 2 more small ones out of a White Flour kitchen Sack towel (the ones you get at Walmart for $5.00). Thankfully I brought 5 of those with me. =) I'll post pics of our room and my pillows soon!
Blessings,

This is a beautiful bag! Love the print. =)
