On My Mind Monday

I know, I have done a lot of post about making things. SO why should today be any different.
Actually, I read a blog pretty frequently of a person who blogs a lot about her woes. And After reading the blog I wonder, how is her situation any different than any of ours, I hope I don't complain as much. If I do, let me know, because I would be mad at myself if I gave the impression that I truly grateful for everything I have. And we do have a lot . We may not have nice cars or a fancy expensive house, or go out to eat weekly, or take vacations, or name brand clothes. But we do have a car that fits our family, a home that accommodates our needs, we have home cooked meals 3 square ones a day, and I LOVE our ghost town excursions, and I do buy name brand clothes if I run across some in good repair at DI. Or if you consider Jumping Beans a name brand. SO here are the things we made this week. The girls got jumpers, 1 of 5 is too old for a jumper, so I made her a matching skirt. I don't know how to make boys shirts, yet. I love that Trent indulges my change in hobbies. He let me buy supplies to make ribbons, yarn when I make blankets, fabric for sewing. In return, I try to do it as inexpensively as possible. Buying yarn only when it's on sale, buying remnants for a pattern I want to make, and making ribbons only cost about 30 bucks to get started. And I promise I will not pick up an expensive hobby, like scrap booking, or violin making, furniture building. Although learning to make a violin does sound interesting........
