Today my pastor preached a message that made me think about alot of things! The message was titled "Analyis of a Turnaround" and he used these verses:
20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
21 and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
23 ¶ Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
His message made me realize that the biggest thing in my life that could use a turnaroud...is my attitude! I am not facing an overwhelming financial situation or a family situation that needs a turnaround, my life is really very happy and good. My attitude towards some things that happen in my life though...well, it could be alot more upbeat, positive, and accepting!
So, that is my prayer for myself this week. I want to be an encouraging and uplifiting person to others.

Song of the week & weekend projects
Pin It
I am a little ashamed to admit that every member of my family sings along when this comes on the radio...yes even Todd...
If he knows I told you, he will kill me!

We have been busy organizing our den this weekend! This room serves alot of purposes in our small house. It's the playroom, the computer room, and now my sewing area. For over two years all my sewing has taken place in my mom's amazing sewing room. But sometimes it is just hard to make the 7 minute drive over to her house...lol
My mom was kind enough to let me bring an extra sewing machine a serger over to my house, hopefully this will enable me to get more work done!
Soooo....all new shelving for the kids toys has been put in and my sewing area is pretty much ready to go.
I will post pictures when it is completely finished.

New Spring Listings!
Pin It
The current DillyDally eBay launch is called "Springtime In..."
Each designer was challenged to pick a city or location and design a set inspired by that place.
I chose Prince Edward Island and The Farm!
CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR LISTINGS
Since Anne of Green Gables and the Disney series, Avonlea, were two of my favorite things to watch growing up...I was excited to create a set inspired by the clothing of that time period. With a custom boutique twist, of course! This set is perfect for a wedding or timepless portraits that you will cherish forever.
Our farm set is simple and sweet...perfect for every single day wear. She will love it!

Sprucing...and a couch
Pin It
With spring almost upon us, I am feeling that urge to spruce things up around the house a little!
Of course for us, like most of you, funds are tight! So it will have to be "sprucing on a dime". LOL But that's ok! I am up for the challenge and excited about trying some new projects.
One thing that can really not be done on a dime is buying new living room furniture. I have debated and debated with myself about if we should buy a new couch or save the money...and if we buy a new couch which kind should we buy?! Our last couch looked terrible after about 3 years and we have been living with slipcovers for the last 3 years. I dislike slipcovers...really...alot. Oh, if I could have all that time back that I have spent tucking in slipcovers!
I have been hoarding the money we were given as Christmas gifts and I think I will buy a couch! Now I get to drive my husband crazy as I try to decide which one...muhahaha.

Goldfish!
Pin It
I have been saving my Heather Ross Goldfish fabric for 3 years, waiting for just the perfect project!! When Gymboree debuted their "Little Goldfish" baby girl layette line, I knew the blanket would make the perfect shirt!
Here is "Little Goldfish" from Tattered Tulips. This set is perfect if you have a younger girl that is still able to wear layette, but you want big sis to match! Don't forget to check out the matching brother set and accessories by searching DillyDally on eBay.
