Every Day Blessings

Don't you just love this owl graphic illustration I recently purchased from The Hungry Jpeg at https://thehungryjpeg.com/? I think this illustration is truly gorgeous! The bundle I received this and many, many more graphic illustrations and dozens of new fonts to add to my collection. Would you believe that nearly every single item included in this bundle and almost everything purchased from The Hungry Jpeg comes with a commercial license. Whatever you get is yours to use and at reasonable pricing. For those who use such items in your "for sale" creations, this can be a really big deal!

Some of you might already have discovered this but, for my fellow creative crafting friends who have yet to discover them, here is a link to their Facebook page. They post on Facebook when deals like The Stellar Autumn bundle(available for three days more) and other great bundles as they are offered. You might want to check them out.

This site also offers countless frames, headers and many other things that might be uses in your crafting projects. The image below was one of hundreds included in the Stellar Fall Collection. This and numerous others are included in this bundle. It contains much more than just Fall/Autumn selections! It blew my mind when I downloaded the fabulous items in this digital download package! Going through them has kept me busy for hours. Many hours of pleasure!

I hope you are enjoying all the great weather and beautiful Fall colors, festivals and activities that happen this time of year. I truly do miss getting out and about to enjoy this, one of my favorite times of the year. One thing that has helped me to get through some lonely, long days recently is I have been so busy checking all these items out. Hours, people, hours to see everything. Read on if you are not aware of why I welcome some fun diversions right now.

Indeed, I certainly would love to be out enjoying everything more often than I am. Still, I can rejoice because there are so very many special reasons to celebrate every day as I heal from the surgery for a broken foot. The blessings are more numerous than I could ever count.

For instance, I am happy to say that today, Thursday, marks exactly 2 weeks in the current sky blue leg and foot cast I now adorn. That might not seem like a blessing but that is a real blessing to me! In fifteen more days, just a little over two weeks, I am scheduled to go back to the doctor. A total of 31 days wearing this blue beauty)! Yes, I admit that I am counting each day. The days sometimes tend to run together and I seem to lose track of what day of the week it is. I freely admit, some days seem to drag by ever so slowly. Yes people, the struggle is real, for sure!


Yes, I am grateful that in just a couple of more weeks to go and there will be a really big milestone and accomplishment for me! I am not sure what the new leg gear will be like but it will be my friend for quite some time. I am supposed to wear the next one for yet another month. Hopefully, after that month I will be able to walk again on both feet! Slowly but surely, I am moving forward with the progress.

The gift of every day is a blessing and an accomplishment and the weeks and months are all milestones for me along the way.

I am thankful for each day and each blessing that comes with it!

How to Make and Use a Stencil Using Cricut Expression

-
Image
My family and many of my friends know how much I adore French inspired creations and design. The flourish of the curly-cues and curves are so appealing. An image of the Eiffel Tower in any form sets my imagination into high gear. It will come as no surprise to people who know me well that when I feel the desire to get creative, it is often with a French flair. So, when pondering what to make for Joanne, a dear friend of mine, I designed the stenciled pillow covers shown in this post.  I constructed the pillow cover/shams myself from a twin sized white cotton sheet and embellished the opening edges with black grosgrain ribbon before sewing the side seam together. If you prefer not to sew your own, you can purchase a pair and begin from there. This image could be reduced a little in size and applied to hand towels, etc. My Cricut  Expression was used to make the stencil for the design and the cartridge used was Storybook.  The design used was a flower design which is associated

Homemade Fresh Chunky Peach Ice Cream

One of the best things about summer is the abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables. Farmer's markets and roadside stands boast baskets of all sorts of beautiful, tempting regional produce. Georgia is called the Peach State but the area where we live in South Carolina grows the most juicy, sweet and delicious peaches you could ever hope to eat. The month of July, particularly around Independence Day is when the best (in my opinion) are ripe and ready to be harvested and sold. Home-Churned Fresh Peach Ice Cream Our family eagerly anticipates the appearance of those beautiful peaches! South Carolina Grown Freestone Peaches There are all sorts of delicious ways to prepare and eat this luscious and delectable fruit. They are simply scrumptious when peeled and sliced like this: Peeled and Sliced Freestone Peaches You can add a splash of milk or coconut milk and a little sugar, but it really is not necessary. They are so very sweet and satisfying. Eaten fresh they are qui

In an earlier post, I told you a little about our trip to Biltmore House and Gardens in mid-March. Currently the Biltmore has an astonishing collection of costumes on display throughout the estate. Fashionable Romance Wedding Gowns in Film is truly a smashing event. Some of the films featured in this collection were nominated for prestigious film awards. Some were actually winners of the Academy Awards for Best Costuming. Being the old-fashioned soul and possessing a hopelessly romantic heart, I was totally smitten with this collection of spectacular costumes from romantic films! In this post, I will continue where I left off in this previous post  with some additional wonderful costumes from a number of other great films.  The last part of this post will take us to Biltmore's Antler Hill Village for some history on the Biltmore family marriages, honeymoons and other interesting family ties and connections! On a previous visit to Biltmore to see the fabulous collec
