What do you do to relax? I love to crochet!!.  As a young mother I found that I could crochet while I nursed my babies.!  Last month I decided to make Christmas doilies for each of my daughters and daughter-in-laws. That will be 16 doilies unless one of my unmarried sons get married between now and Christmas. LOL  I've also decided to have a candy dish to sit on the doily. I have found 8 pretty crystal candy dishes at the thrift store for a dollar or two dollars. I tell my children that  I am giving them heirloooms I am also finishing a double size afgan.  I try to have extra quilts and afgans on hand.  We heat with wood in the winter and extra bedding is important to have on hand. I have made afgans for 28 of my 34 grandchildren.   I find it fulfills my creative needs, I have no other talents, except for maybe sewing.  In my very busy days of childrearing I managed to make a lot of my childrens clothing by sewing a seam a day.  Good memories.

I planted tomatoes in the garden today.  We have corn coming up. And new baby chicks. Mom and chicks are doing well.  "And that ye study to be quiet and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands."  1 Thess. 4:11

How wonderful...
