If love is in your heart; today is a great day!

Snow Day and Maple Oat Scones

With over 12 inches of snow by 9:00 am this morning, what else could I do but bake and sew! I pulled out The Farm Chicks In The Kitchen cookbook and for the first time made homemade scones. I couldn't believe how easy and fast this simple Maple Oat Scones recipe came together. The scones baked up beautifully!

As far as my little sewing project goes, I started piecing a new quilt this week using my large stash of Amy Butler prints. I have collected various prints from a number of her collections and they look wonderful together. I am using a pattern from a favorite quilt designer Cluck Cluck Sew called Easy Bake.  So, outside of shoveling very heavy wet snow, did I mention I live on a corner lot, this has been a delightful morning.  I promise to post photos once the quilt top is complete. Happy Snow Day! Wendi 

Anniversary Blooms!

This week in my Beth Moore Bible Study (James: Mercy Triumphs), we focused on Chapter 2 which talks about not showing partiality but fulfilling the royal law according to Scripture “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” James goes into quite a sermon regarding partiality, preferring one person over another… My prayer this week, as I meditate on this portion of the lesson is that my heart is softened that I might look through the eyes of Christ’s love for the multitude. What a Savior we have! He is a Savior who cares for each of us so dearly. Oh that we would demonstrate that same care and compassion as we receive from heaven each and every day! Blessings on you!
