Have a great Thursday, Almost the weekend!

Gardening Time!

 

Have you started your garden yet? There is something so very satisfying about growing your own food, be it ever so little. Being self sufficient is a goal of ours, atleast in some way. To not be so very dependent on society, big box stores, government! Keep some of our hard earned money in our pocket, use the hands God blessed us with and the brains we were given as well.

 

Well, last spring I harvested this (still small in the pic) awesome eggplant! It made a great Ratatouille, wonderful over whole grain pasta!

 

This year I already planted lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage (for bangin' stir fry!) and my parsley and mint is coming back!

 

I still have to get herbs (basil, thyme, etc), maybe broccoli, and definitely eggplant! Better hurry, our days are heating up!

 

Also coming back, are the awesome Hollyhocks! I love flowers and plants that are perennials, they are always ready to greet the Spring!

 

Start a garden, even if it is a container one or just in a small square. Or, you can build (very easy) a raised garden. They have kits at Lowe's or Home Depot.

 

Enjoy living from the fruits of your hands!

Strength in the Darkness of a Sunny day of Life...

Micah 7:7 (From Reformation Study Bible)

But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.

 

Spring break is over for many states. It is in our area. Back to school, probably back to work. Dreadfully dark bruise color blue Monday. The break was lovely, back to the ditch of your life.

 

Is that how you feel? Some of it is physical, after a weekend of sleeping in maybe, different location, being spoiled at a resort or relatives, the body does revolt. Like going off caffeine, going back to regular routine after a break is an experience of withdrawal.

 

But, sometimes, you really feel that the world is against you.

 

Read the above verse.

 

You know, God is totally watching over all and especially you. I know it does not always feel like it.

 

Don't give up. God is watching and guiding you through the valley of the shadow of death, so to speak, like Psalm 24. You are being strengthened and educated in the trials of life. If you keep strong in your faith in God and His Son Jesus, there is an end to your present darkness.

 

Then when you look back at the dark time in your life, you will realize what you had to learn, and that you had to experience it. You will come out so much stronger, and wiser.

 

So, hang in there. God is with you. If the sun or even rain is above you, if you had breakfast, a car to drive, bugs on the windshield, clothes to wear, even a headache, then you are loved by God.

 

Sometimes what is more real, is not really seen, but hidden in all the simple things, like flowers, a blade of grass struggling through concrete, a breeze caressing our brow, a bird overhead.

 

Just focus on our God, believe even a tiny bit, place your trial in His "in box",  and you will be surprised at His presence. You will physically feel it when you least expect it.

 

Have a Blessed Day!

Tassel Town! Tassel Accessories for fabulous Chic Thrill!

 

Do you know that long necklaces really flatter everyone? Since all the attention on your shape is focused on the center, a long necklace acts as a skinny central point. Similar to a vertical color blocked dress.

Usually the outline of such a dress is darker on the outside to create shadow, or disappearing outline. The center is lighter in color, but narrow to create a slim shape. Similarly, a long necklace, in colors and shimmers, draws the eye to the center, and up and down, subconsciously noting a slim shape.

 

On the wrist, the tassel is such a trendy fashion forward statement! Tassels have been around for millennia! Religious Pharisees in Biblical times used and added tassels to promote and "show off" their status, the more tassels the more "holy" they were, and supposedly closer to God and Heaven. Jesus, of course, burst that bubble! Today, tassels are experiencing a fashion moment that does not seem to be ceasing!

 

Tassels I have created are made with smooth cotton cording, from our collection of vintage fibers. They are new, yet in colors not on the market today, so you get a totally original accessory! I create lush, full evenly cut tassels. They can be carefully washed, if they land in your coffee! The necklaces are all one of a kind, the bracelets totally original and one of a kind as well! My popular button bracelets get a new "groove" with the addition of a tassel on a select few!

 

So go ahead, come to "Tassel Town", where your wardrobe does not need to sleep in boredom, and can get a "Chic Thrill!"
