Do You Think Sew?

I am trying to decide whether or not to take another sewing class. I haven’t taken one in about a year. I feel like I need to keep busy at home more. What is that old saying about idle hands being the devil’s instruments? I feel like I have too much time on my hands right now and need to find something to keep me busy. I LOVE to embroider, but I really only like to do that if I am watching something on tv or talking to someone. I can’t just sit there and do it. With sewing I can put some music on and just do it. I also have several unfinished projects that I want to finish that have been sitting around. I have an apron that I have had on a form in my spare room for over a year. Yes, Stacey…the one I have been making for you. LOL

The only problem was that I wasn’t very fond of the teacher. She is not mean or anything just kind of abrasive and in my opinion not very constructive with her criticism. Sigh. Decisions, decision. Oh, and it is only $60 for a 10 week class.

To sew or not to sew, that is the question. Aren’t I witty? Don’t answer that :)

Did You Know?

I have known for awhile that many types of "birth control" can cause a woman's body to self-abort. I am amazed how many women don't know this, or aren't informed by the medical community (more the latter I think). They are never told that the pills main job is to prevent implantation, but its back up plan is to create what they call a "hostile womb", so that a fertilized egg (a baby) can't attach itself to the uterine wall. Thus causing an abortion.

This segment on CNN should really make women think about the form of birth control they are using.

I think this falls under the category of "What Every Woman Should Know".

Psalm 139:13-14

For You formed my inward parts;

You covered me in my mother’s womb.

14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Marvelous are Your works,

And that my soul knows very well.

It's Here, It's Here

I am SO glad it's almost the Sabbath!! Yep, that's it :) Just wanted to put that out there!

Isaiah 58:13-14

13 “ If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,

From doing your pleasure on My holy day,

And call the Sabbath a delight,

The holy day of the LORD honorable,

And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,

Nor finding your own pleasure,

Nor speaking your own words,

14 Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD;

And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth,

And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.

The mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

The Trials of Television

I ran across this article called Feminism's Television Intrusion. I thought I would share because it was very thought provoking and I like those kind. :)

I don't have cable on my TV and because I don't I don't have cable I get no channels at all. I did this for a couple of reasons...1) I watched the darn thing way too much. I would switch on the tv and not get anything done and would be shocked to realize it was after 11 pm, and 2) the things on tv started making me sick to my stomach, which I have posted about before.

This article demonstrates why if a person has a tv, which isn't wrong, they need to be aware of what they are watching and what their very observant children are watching, even when you don't think they are. The little boogers are sneaky and hear and see more than we think. :)

More than once I been asked by my niece or nephews, "auntie why did you say such and such?", and found myself speechless because I am mortified that they heard me since I didn't even realize they were in the room! Yikes :) See sneaky...heehee

It's Legal...again.

Finally, California is showing some sense, although I am sure it will be fleeting! The courts reversed themselves and have declared it is again legal to home school your children. See here.

Are We Slipping?

So, I have noticed a strange phenomenon. Stores do not carry slips anymore. You know the kind women wear underneath their dresses to keep someone from peaking at the goods? You know…the whole modestly thing?

Anyway, apparently stores don’t carry them anymore because no one wears them. You can only order them out of a catalogue if you are lucky. Say what? Since when do women not wear undergarments? Since, now I guess. I guess I shouldn’t be too shocked as I can’t go to Trader Joes without witnessing the appearance of some girls booty crack. It’s Trader Joes people, there is food here…Pull up the pants!

I will freely admit that I like girly things. I mean, give me a football to throw and you will see I DON’T throw like a girl, thank you very much, but I like my girlie stuff too. And when I like my girlie things, I like them to be well…girlie! Lots of lace on undergarments, etc.

And now…gasp…no one sells them. I am on an online quest for pretty/glamorous, yet functional slips. I am just floored that stores like JC Pennys and Sears don’t sell them anymore. What is the world of undergarments coming to? I seriously think I should have been born in another era ... and undergarment wearing era. :)

LOL!

This is just too cool not to pass on. Move your cursor where you want to go. If you get motion sickness, I wouldn't advise checking out this site. It is just amazing they can do stuff like this.
