Rain, Rain...please stop

We have been needing rain here since it's been so dry. We have been in a burn ban for quite some time now and the much needed rain was a welcoming suprise...at first. Today, it has been raining for almost 10 hours straight and the water level keeps rising. Normally this wouldn't bother me much but since we live near the river, I do have to say that I am a bit stressed. I've tried to relax by sewing or cleaning or reading but nothing is working...not until the rain slows down...so I thought. I do take comfort in something that my oldest said while driving home this afternoon. "The water is getting higher but I"m not afraid because God has promised to never to send a flood like he did to Noah and the rainbow promises that". What a wonderful and comforting statement to hear from a 6 year old. That little statement is so true and the promises that God has given to us are true. Ok...remember that statement that I said earlier about not being able to relax and being stressed out until the rain stops? Well, after writing this blog, I know that I should be enjoying the rain and all the beautiful things that come from the it. The green leaves on the trees, the blooms on the flowers, the innocence of children jumping in puddles. Maybe it will be a productive day today as I enjoy and sit in awe of everything that Christ has created and done for us.

LOVE LOVE custom orders

I just LOVE custom orders of all kinds! I enjoy clothing, hairbows and flip flops! It is just so amazing how different women can have different creative ideas! Here is a custom order for my big girl hairbows...LOVE LOVE the colors she choose! If anyone wants to place a custom order...just visit my webiste http://www.ohsewgirlie.com/ and I would love to work with you!

Next is a funky wild child birthday bow and again, I love the color combos that we came up with for these piggietail bows, don't you ;D

Do I really need more fabric?

Yes..."I" think I do. I haven't ordered much of anything in a while and I need to head over and grab some Heather Bailey fabric! I just LOVE her fabric designs. I'm not sure what I plan on doing with all my fabrics but I just know that I need some more. I told myself last week that I was going to use up all my older fabrics before I get some new ones but I just can't resist the temptation!

In the kitchen...not tonight

I have been in such a cooking funk this whole week and that is so not me. I guess I'm just not motivated to cook for some reason. I feel bad but my 3 little piggies loved what we had for dinner! Can you guess? It's a staple for all those "what to cook for dinner" or "I just don't feel like cooking tonight" nights. I have to admit that it's not anywhere close to my favorite place to eat, but for some reason children just love it.

I think that for next week, I am going to make myself cook some "real" food that actually has some substance and nutrition to it yet is still appealing to my kiddies!

I have to admit that I am addicted to America Idol. This is the first season that I have watched it and I feel like I missed out on so much...LOL! Maybe it was good that I missed it because now, every Tuesday and Wednesday night, I am glued to the t.v. Atleast it comes on after the kids are in bed!

Taking that First Blog Step

Ok...I've been thinking about doing a blog and I finially decided to jump in and give it a try! I figured that it would be an awesome way to promote my website www.ohsewgirlie.com and allow me to write down my thoughts. I will be posting here with updates and sneek peaks every now and then to show things that I have been working on. Keep an eye out because I am going to offer special discounts and contests just for my blog readers.
