Baby quilt

One down, five to go. 

I'm practicing quilting. I'm getting better. 

The quilting shows up well on the back. 

 The triangle shot. 

Little Hudson is almost six months old already. 

Moving really got me off my game. But I think I'm back at it. 

Baking day

We had family coming and so I baked. 

The bread made the house smell heavenly. I throw flax seed to add a bit of omega 3s. 

I saw a recipe for buttermilk pie. It sounded good. 

It looked beautiful, but it didn't set up well. I was very disappointed. 

I also made Mexican fudge. I didn't get a picture, but it was the hit of the night. Yummy! There isn't any left - less than 24 hours later. 

Having dinner outside in February. The Idaho contingent were reminding us what February in Idaho is like. We were much happier to be here than in the frigid north. 

He won't go shopping with me.

I spend time wondering if he would like it, if it's the right color, if he'll wear it. 

But occasionally I am dead on. 

Batman was for him. Van Gogh was for me. 

The shorts work for any shirt. 

Boaz was sad I didn't have shirt for him. I'll have to go back and look for a small. 

Scripture

When I read this verse I hear the music of Janice Kapp Perry ring through my memory. 

I first heard the song in the MTC. It has soaring notes that challenge sopranos. It's from an Eater cantata. The song is about Christ in the Garden and the night of His trial. 

The promise is because He suffered, He can heals us - no matter the sin, sorrow, or pain. 

I came across this scripture today. Hezekiah is sick unto death. He cries and gains a reprieve from the Lord. Fifteen extra years. 

This is also a promise to us. 

He hears our prayers. 

He sees our tears. 

He can and will heal us. 

Scripture

This is one of my favorite stories in the Old Trstament. The story of Naaman the Leper. 

He is a very important man. He has a terrible disease. He hears there may be hope for a cure. 

In his supplication, he still feels he his power and importance. 

I think we all look for great things. We forget that God accomplished great miracles through small and simple things. 

When Isreal cried for deliverance, He sent a baby. 

When the world was lost in apostasy, He spoke to a 14 year old boy with minimal education. 

To preach the gospel to an unbelieving world, He sends teenagers. 

It takes faith to see the small and simple things. 

So cute.

I just love my Brandon. Isn't he the cutest?

I'm not a great quilter. The actual quilting part. I'm practicing on baby quilts - getting ready for the monster. 

I did this at the beginning. I ran out of thread and ordered new spools. Not the big monster spoils. The pretty quilting thread. 

It came yesterday and I decided to finish up the quilting today. 

This is what I did today. 

I quilted the extra fabric into the real quilt. So irritating. 

Unpicking is no fun.
