'Tomorrow is only a day away' - I was happy to hear from my followers that they were safe - just one yet to check in and I will breathe a sigh of relief. But I still send prayers to those who need them in this aftermath.
MAY FOR ME
I would like to keep on track with the May For Me project. Some of us need a little de-stressing now. But this week I wanted to give some tips for the young mother or maybe grandma who does the babysitting. How to get some Me time when you have little ones around.
How about setting up a little crafting corner and basket for those little ones. Select age appropiate crafting supplies (so glad they make washable crayons and markers). Here is a list of some crafting sites that may help: www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts
familycrafts.about.com
www.dltk-kids.com
www.crayola.com/crafts
familyfun.go.com/crafts
They can do their crafting while you do yours.
And I almost forgot about this! I had a number of bloggers approach me and I really had to think on it as I really wasn't sure I wanted to be a 'tagged' site. I accepted from my first approach - Flo from Butterfly Quilting. I wasn't sure what I was suppose to do until I saw what some others have been putting on their blogs.
APRIL IS POETRY MONTH
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow you will feel okay
Whatever the day brings
Remember tomorrow is another day.
Everyday is a new day
Though some things don’t change
And whatever yesterday brings
Tomorrow is another day.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

5) You are an encourager. You like to encourage others.
6) You are an idea person. When someone needs an idea they come to you for help.
7)I don't know but I am guessing...you are a 'blue' person. (as I am). You like the color blue.
After I thought about the things I know about you, I realized I might not be a follower, I might be a stalker.
1. You live with your mom and kitty cat on a farm in upstate NY that has been in your family for generations.
2. You live on Quilt Lane.
3. You store your fabric scraps in plastic pretzel barrels (an idea I stole from you).
4. Your favorite seasonal hymn is Ave Maria (I remembered that because I have loved that hymn since I was a young girl).
5. In addition to quilting, you do cross stitch and hand embroidery. You work with incredibly tiny scraps and do paper pieced blocks and fabric post cards.
6. You participate in lots of online swaps and charity quilt donations online as well as locally.
7. You have a sister that closely resembles you and 2 sons and a daughter. Your daughter has 2 sons. You have a sister in law that recently retired. In your town,it costs $16.00 to get your hair washed, cut and lightly styled.
I think I'll stop now, it's getting scary.
