You just sew some large blocks together, about an inch bigger than the hankies, and stitch the hankies on top of those, very pretty. Now if I could just find about 100 of those hankies.lol. <br /><br />Well, I couldn't have said it better myself. I laid in bed last night thinking about, here I am ready to give up on something once again, and I thought, just as you said this morning, I was letting satan get his grip on me, but then I realized, maybe it wasn't satan this time, maybe it was God helping me to look at the big picture. <br /><br />I can't do flylady as it is either, and I definately can't subscribe to the email, but I've read up enough on her system that I can make it work for me. I'll be posting photos of my binder, and sharing some of my routines, as I continue through the next week or so.<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement. I really needed it this morning. And um, sorry about the picture enlargement thing...:-) The good news for you is that yours don't enlarge too much bigger, mine take up the whole screen. <br /><br />Praying for you all about Dewey's job situation.Naturally Blessed Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15374570019873246461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-12385847718285893162009-07-23T10:20:25.067-05:002009-07-23T10:20:25.067-05:00You are so right about a routine and how if you do...You are so right about a routine and how if you don't follow one, you get drained just thinking about the task ahead.<br />I suffer from routine avoidance...I abhor schedules. I tried flylady once too, and it nearly made me insane.<br />One area I do need to focus on is my children. They are known for leaving things wherever. This is my fault, as I didn't train them better. But a new rule is going to be that they will have a half hour prior to bed to clean up. It may not take them that long, but it seems like a reasonable amount of time. I am going to use that half hour myself, to do the same "pick up".<br />Thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-36998157310320540282009-07-23T10:01:35.914-05:002009-07-23T10:01:35.914-05:00Well, Dewey's got a tidy closet to come home t...Well, Dewey's got a tidy closet to come home to!<br /><br />Know what you mean about maintenance. Clutter zaps your energy big time. Screams at you as you walk by it. Sometimes I just have to gut it out and say, Now, this one thing will get done, and I'll worry about the rest later. One thing at a time.<br /><br />Found your family portrait when I was looking for something you posted a while back. What a handsome family! <br /><br />Love in Jesus, LizMyBulletinBoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961091298654325887noreply@blogger.com
