For Today July 1st 2008...

Outside My Window... It is going to be another hot day. Andrew and Jonathan are out front tearing down an old shed.

I am thinking... how amazing it is that I am getting married in September, how glad I am that Andrew is back, how excited I am to go visit his family and see his place in a few weeks.

I am thankful for... the garden growing well, for projects getting done, and all of God's many blessings.

From the kitchen... pasta salad for lunch.

I am wearing... Bare feet, hair back in a braid, a denim skirt and purple shirt.

I am creating... a wedding gown. I worked on it for hours yesterday and accomplished a lot. I am so happy with the way it is turning out. Yesterday I finished it to the point of being able to try it on, it fits so well. Now there is mostly just hemming and some finish work to do.

I am going... to enjoy staying home and getting projects done then this evening I can relax and sit with Andrew.

I am reading... the book of Matthew, I am in chapter nine.

I am hoping... to have time this summer for some extra projects like canning tomatoes, making pickles and more sewing.

I am hearing... the rub of the iron against fabric and the sound of hammering outside.

Around the house... sewing machines and an ironing board for the sewing projects, several pairs of flip flops by the door ready for quick outdoor projects.

One of my favorite things... having time to sit and read a good book uninterrupted. It has been awhile since I have done that.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: finishing the dress and assembling the invitations.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...seaweed floating near the pier. I took this last time we went to the beach.
