There was a little Super Hero in need of a cape this morning so I whipped up this little ditty and it works perfectly!
Super Abby was rescuing babies and grannies and toys ALL MORNING! I honestly wish I could share a pattern ot tutorial on this one but it came right off the top of my head and I just made it up as I went. Im putting that blue polka dot fabric to good use and I guess I better since I have 20 more yards of it! Ahhh!
I've had requests to share the Apron pattern for this apron I made for Abby last summer.
II didn't really follow a pattern but I did get the idea fromTHIS tutorial. I plan on doing my own tutorial for it soon. Mine was double lined and reversable so no raw edges or seams show...It's SO cute and Abby loves it! The best thing about it is that it is adjustable so it'll be a while before she out grows it : )
"It is my strict policy that no one cries alone in my presence..."
Dolly Parton ("Clairee") in Steel Magnolias
I stole away a few minutes this evening to watch "Steel Magnolias" and boy was it a party...for me at least. I half laughed and half cried when I realised I was sitting, propped up with three pillows in bed, eating double chocolate Cookies and dipping them in milk and crying my eyes out about a chick flick....all by myself. Not that I wanted any company at all, it's just that I realised how pathetic I must look. : 0
I have to say I kind of enjoy this part of pregnancy. I remember watching "The Notebook" when I was seven months pregnant with Abby. We were in Dallas at Andrews Uncles house with some other couples, all spread out in the media room, when everyone hears a *GASP* and I pull the covers up over my mouth, but the wailing could not be hidden. I think they were amused but thankfully I wasn't the only pregnant gal there so we decided to all get together and watch the movie another time without the guys so we could all "cry together" : ) Good times..lol
Another highlight of the day was my dinner (sad but very true...i love me some good food!) My sweet charmimg precious little husband made me the BEST dinner I have ever had. I was SO hungry for some meatballs and gravy, and mashed potatoes and corn and he made me just that! There's a picture post coming up on that subject...I'll just say this, I've given up cooking duties for life! We'll see what he thinks of that : )
Ok, Just a last little note, keep me in your prayers this Monday. I'll be seeing the cardiologist and be set up on a heart monitor for a week just to make sure everything is A-ok with the BP and Arrhythmia. YIPPEE! And the best part is...no showers! EEEEWWWEEE!!!! We'll see what kind of deal I can make with the Doc on that subject...that's just plain insensitive : (
Ok, everyone! CHEERS! There's a new week ahead of us!!

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed!

I have done some shameful things in my life. But no matter how many time those things are brought back to mind for one reason or another I cannot help but rejoice. It sounds crazy but I honestly don't sulk around in self hatred or guilt about things that I know I I have been forgiven for.
Life just turns out too beautiful to sit in a puddle of regret about the things that have gotten you to the place you are...
I remember a particularly hard and trying time over a year ago when I was being tried in every area of my life and it seemed like I couldn't take one breath without holding the next. Anyway, I remember sitting in a corner, melting down to tears and holding my face in my hands and praying that God would just relieve me...That's the only word that I could think of to pray...RELIEF!
Seconds later I was on my feet pacing back and forth trying to hold back screams of joy as I suddenly realised how beautiful the whole situation really was! I couldn'tbelieve that I was actually thinking what I was thinking! My eyes were opened in a new way to the verse that talks about "rejoicing in tribulation"
Romans 5:3-5
" ...but we glory in tribulations , knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. "
All of the sudden the same situation that seemed to b e my demise, was suddenly an opportunity to watch my faith stand against the power of the world and for me to hold strong to the promises of God that I KNEW were true and to come out on the other side of the battle ALIVE!!!
Well, my little blog will be out of commission for about a week. We're leaving town to go to Dallas tomorrow morning to be with Andrews family for Christmas. So, since I'm not going to be keeping you busy laughing at my silly posts, I'll leave you with another assignment for the week... Pray!For Abby to be well behaved and go to bed EARLY everynight! For morning sickness not to kick in for me while I'm up there. No drama. For this to be a relaxing and peaceful trip for everyone, and of course for safety on the road....we always need an extra dose of that one : ) Dad, Mom, Luke, Sara , chris, mawmaw, pawpaw, Pawpaw Jack, I'll miss you all this week! I hope you all have a wonderful time together! Merry Christmas XOXOXO " Enjoy the day's simple pleasures and may those pleasures, simply make your day." Joe M. Galante
