Right now I’m sitting in Daddy’s office, watching my Caleb kidnap some of our toothbrushes. Including mine, in case your wondering. Now I’m sitting with 4 toothbushes in front of the keybaord.

In case you cannot tell, this is going to be a random post.

Last night I resolved to put a worthwhile post up here.  This morning, we watch a video talking about internet censorship. Great, I think.  Now I’ll have something to post about. So then, right after breakfast, what does my dear brother do but steal my post. Of course, I suppose I could rant write some more on the subject, such as how I sometimes feel as though I am living in communist china or something like that rather than the US of A,  but I’m not in the mood for that anyway.  Besides, its rather hard to write something that serious when you gave to keep stopping in order to get cookies out of the oven or take toothbrushes away from your baby brother.

Lately I’ve been working on a baby doll quilt for my sister’s birthday. (sshhh….)(hopefully I’ll be able to get some pictures up later) As well as toying with the idea of setting up an Etsy shop. And of course, making cookies. I often finish with the queer feeling that the recipe makes less and less each time, even though I now triple it.  We also took a spontaneous trip to Florida in late January, got a down a bunch of springish clothing, come back to AL, and get the heaviest snowfall (2″) we’ve ever gotten in the 8 years of being down here.  I’ve also been studying Hebrew and doing more sketching.

A couple weeks ago I found a charming old crochet book and I’ve had the funnest time going through it.  Most of the clothing patterns are useable, although most would require some sort of altering,  And there are a huge amount of lace and doily patterns, some of which nearly have me drooling.  It has also shown me once again how much times have changed (it is copyright 1946)….from the beginning of one of the chapters…:

“…a woman with that talent for gracious living will take the trouble and find great pleasure in adding small personal touches to her household linen.  She will initial her sheets, add a graceful handmade edging to her pillow slips and her linen towels. The shelving in her linen closet will be exquisitely edged…..”

I’m not sure I want to go quite so far as that……

Anyway, as I need to go now, I shall end this random post.

I finally got the followers gadget up!

And to those of you who followed my old blog, www.walkingingrace-hannah.blogspot.com, you might want to “unfollow” it. I still have about 18 people over there.  : P

Tagging….Anyone who wishes to be.

The little old Woman had only one blanket for her bed. It was a nice red flannel blanket, but it was full of holes.

…..said the Little Old Woman….”Maybe if I cut holes out of the red blanket, it will be warm enough for me.” But when she fetched her scissors and cut the holes out of the red blanket, the holes were still there. In fact, they were bigger than ever.   ~The Little Old Woman Who Used Her Head

Does this remind anyone else of the way too many stimulus packages that are being passed?   (of course, in my opinion one is way too many….)

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.  ~Galatians 5:1

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

~John 14:27

Sorry for the blurred look here – he was tugging the camera strap

Sorry for not getting to this post sooner…..I can’t believe it was almost a month ago that I last posted. Hopefully I will be more consistent in the future. Anyway, here are some photos from the last week or so.

Flowers

Joseph bouncing on our trampoline (I’m not sure why the stick is on there…)

Caleb “playing” the piano

Applauding himself

More flowers

I was planning on including a short video clip of Caleb’s new achievement, walking, but Wordpress isn’t letting me do that right now.  Maybe I’ll try again tommorrow, but I’m getting sick of fighting the computer right now. : )

…..is walking.

Videos to follow.

As of yesterday, my baby brother Caleb is 11 months old. *sniff*
Just thought you might want to know that.

(this one is quite faint)

Please excuse any odd looking things around here as I am still tweaking my blog around.

Thanks!

On September 10, 2001, around 3 thousand innocent Americans were murdered. They had absolutely no say over the matter.  Our nation lost 3 thousand people that day – people who may have found a cure for cancer, or become war heroes or just become one of the ordinary people that make our country what it is. They could have been so much.

But they were murdered on that day, exactly 8 years ago.

Tomorrow, almost everyone in our nation will recount 9/11 – the death of almost 3 thousand Americans. Adult Americans, that is.

What happened on 9/11 was a tragedy.

But why do we not grieve the innocent babies that are, through abortion, murdered every single day.

The number is the same.

The victims are even more helpless then the victims in the twin towers were.

Since when do those out of the womb matter more then those inside?

(In case you can’t tell, its a baby blanket.)

Last Tuesday  some of my family and I had a opportunity to hear the Republican Alabama Gubernatorial Candidat……

Go to my brothers blog to read the rest.

Just a test.
