Wishing you a beautiful Mother's Day!

It's the greatest blessing you will ever receive.

The most fulfilling job you will ever do.

The hardest thing you will ever undertake.

And the most rewarding accomplishment in your life.

~ me ~

I have been blessed five times over with our sons and

I wouldn't trade one day,

one sickness,

one fight,

one hug from sweet little arms,

one injury,

one load of laundry (or fifty),

one sweet handmade card,

one messy room,

one little kiss,

one dirty diaper,

one baby's breath on my cheek,

one trip to school,

or one ANYTHING

for the opportunity

to be a mama.

Thank you Lord.....

I am so honored to be the mom of our precious boys.

And thank you to my wonderful mom

for showing me how to BE a mom,

I love you more than you'll ever know....

A Mother's Love

Author Unknown

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments
And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.

PLUS I just HAVE to share my finished purse with you!!!!
I broke needles, I cried a little but finally accomplished what I set out to do.
To transform a linen blouse into a beautiful purse ~

You can see more of it in my Etsy shop if you'd like to take a look!!

Happy Mother's Day precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Seeing beyond the obvious ~

I buy the strangest things at thrift stores.

I guess because I can see beyond the obvious ~

what something could become or

it's potential for beauty.

This blouse was already beautiful though.

Pure linen with exquisite embroidery and frog closures...

Totally not my size but that didn't matter.

I simply saw what it could become.

I've just started transforming it into a purse!

What do you think??

Can you see it in your mind's eye?

So stay tuned sweet friends....we'll see how it turns out!!

I just happened to have this beautiful Waverly fabric that coordinates perfectly

with the linen....for the lining, bottom and strap!

Little Murray thinks it's going to turn out great!!! xxoo

Happy Wednesday angels!

Thank you always for stopping by to see me ~

hugs and love,

Dawn
