On my bedside table: Last light by Terri Blackstock. This is not the kind of book I would usually read but it was given to me with a few others by a friend .
On my TV: Not watching anything at the minute I've decide to give TV a bye ball for a while.
On the menu for tonight: Shepherd's pie with yesterday's left over lamb.
On my To Do List: Ironing again!!! How can 2 people accumulate so much!
New Recipe I tried last week: None it was a very busy time here with the wedding so it was all quick old favs on the menu.
In the craft basket: It's overflowing!!! I'm trying to finish the primitive ornaments which Heidi http://needlenecessities.blogspot.com/kindly supplied free patterns for, I have started A Tisket a Tasket from http://bunnyhilldesigns.com/ & Heidi http://needlenecessities.blogspot.com/ has also inspired me to do something with my scraps of fabric so I've been wanting to do a hand stitched quilt for years & I'm now starting Grandmother's Flower Garden.
Looking forward to: My daughter & children returning from their trip to Chicago where they are hoping to move to in August. They are spending a week with me before returning to France where they are presently living.
Homemaking Tip for this week: GET ORGANISED!! It really makes a difference
Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other): The meaning of Easter , The story of Edith Burns by http://homemakerstales.blogspot.com/
Favorite photo from last week:
I am grateful to God for answered prayer for this marriage after all these years.
Lesson learned the past few days: The tongue is a powerful weapon & it needs to be guarded. A few things have been happening in my place of work & I'm finding it extremely difficult to hold back from saying anything but I know it would just add fuel to the "fire". My Grandmother's wise words keep coming back to me "Least said soonest mended!"
On my Prayer List: My family & the purchase of my daughter's home in Chicago.
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses: I have read this portion of scripture many many times but this week it has been more special to me than usual. Romans 8 v 38 & 39. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life etc.

What a lovely list. How is it that ironing always seems to loom large on one's list of things to do??
Flower garden, what fun. Have you got lots of scraps?
Thanks for stopping by elizabeth. I do have lots of scraps for my quilt but I think I might keep it more of a themed colour so i'm sure I'll need a few more fat quarters lol!!!!!!! Ironing still not started DH is at home to-day so things haven't gone according to plan ~ too many coffee breaks lol!!!! Marie x
Have a wonderful week!
Great list.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment in regards to my block. Still thinking on that one. I hadn't thought of gray.
I wish your daughter the best of luck with moving! I can only begin to imagine how difficult it must be that she'll be living far away. It must also bring you much joy to see God's plans working in her life! I will pray for your daughter getting a home in Chicago.
I enjoyed reading your list! I hope things work out for your daughters moving. Enjoy the rest of your week!
