Forgetfulness & Sweater Sock

           My forgetfulness & Sweeter Sock Time

     So I'm supposed to be posting on Thursdays and I already forgot to yesterday. Kept telling myself "o I still have enough time", and then the time flew by and it was already Friday! I'm not off to a very good start am I?

     In other words, I saw the most ingenious thing, an old sweater sleeve cut and used at the top of the boot/shoe. Used to look like a thick wool sock, but without it actually having to be thick and taking up your shoe space. 

     I thought this was a perfect time to post this since it has suddenly gotten chilly out. Do you think it will snow* soon?

New Author & Measuring Tape Bracelet

     Hello all Dew THIS subscribers. I'm Monica, a new author on this blog and I'm also Delina's sister! I will be posting on Thursdays :)
     I love <3 this idea of taking something so simple and making it look chic. The picture is pretty self explanatory, need some measuring tape, scissors, and hook piece from any craft store! 

 

Fancy Cleaning Gloves- pefect for Fall Cleaning!

I have a sister who is very into cleaning- meaning she loves to be organized and clean... the opposite of me. Okay so I like things to be clean but organization?? Not my strongest suit- though I am getting better. To make fall cleaning more fun (and these could be a great Christmas gift!) I made these Fancy Gloves for her- now I need a pair :)

Fancy Cleaning Gloves

Supplies:

A pack of rubber gloves (I got a pack at my local dollar store)

Scrap material

Any embellishments you might want to add!

1. First measure the end opening of the glove. I laid it flat, measured across X 2. Then add one inch for seam allowance. Now I wanted to have my gloves gathered so I took that number and again X 2.

Here are my approx. measurements for her small gloves-

4 ½ inches across x 2 = 9 inches

9 + 1 inch for seam allowance= 10 inches for width of glove

10 inches X 2 = 20 inches total for width of gloves

2. Now we need to see how far up your arm you want the gloves to go. I just guessed for my sister and I think I did 5 or 6 inches- just enough to give it a flare.

– Now this is where you can utilize your scraps- you can sew two or three strips together to make a strip pattern or any other design you want! Make them you so that you have fun when you wear them!

3. Now that you have your measurements- cut 2 strips of fabric. Mine were 20 inches X 6 inches.

4. Sew a hem down one long end. Do this to both pieces. – I used a zigzag stich to make it look a little cutesy.

5. Now you are going to gather the other long side of the material. To do this- make your stitch length long- I set mine as long as my machine goes which is 5. Now sew two rows of strait stitches close together- but NOT crossing. Make sure to leave long tails on the ends.

Sew how the machine is already starting to gather it for you?

To gather you gently pull one of the strings and it should pucker the material- this is the start of a gather. Now you slowly and carefully push the material closer to the center. Do this from both ends until you have gathered the material to fit inside the glove edge- remember seam allowance!

6. Next you sew the short ends together.

7. Pin the gathered edge into the end of the glove- right sides together and sew a seam.

Sorry the pictures are not the greatest- these were taken mid-day! My camera was dying:(

8. Flip out and viola! You are ready to get cleaning!

Now go and enjoy your fall cleaning!!

9/11- Calling America

11 years and I can still remember exactly where I was when I heard about the attack on the twin towers- as I can imagine many of you can.

We have all been changed by those events and will continue to be as long as we remember. 

Let us not forget- we can not afford to.

Here is a music video from Alex Boye- a great musician- who wrote this song on 9/11 eleven years ago. This February he became a US Citizen and finally felt he had perfected his song. 

I hope you enjoy it.

Day 23

Psalms 95:6-7

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.

  For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

How do we 'worship' Christ?

Day 22

Doctrine and Covenants 38:17-20

And I have made the earth rich, and behold it is my footstool, wherefore, again I will stand upon it.

  And I hold forth and deign to give unto you greater riches, even a land of promise, a land flowing with milk and honey, upon which there shall be no curse when the Lord cometh;

  And I will give it unto you for the land of your inheritance, if you seek it with all your hearts.

  And this shall be my covenant with you, ye shall have it for the land of your inheritance, and for the inheritance of your children forever, while the earth shall stand, and ye shall possess it again in eternity, no more to pass away.

Drink some eggnog and enjoy the 'land of milk and honey' we live in.

Day 21

Isaiah 1:18

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Revelation 3:5

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Make a snowflake to show your uniqueness.

Day 20

John 6:28-35

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

  Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

  They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

  Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

  For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

  Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Jesus is the bread of life- make some gingerbread treats together.

Day 19

Isaiah 61:1-3

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

  To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

How can we serve a family this Christmas?

Day 18

Luke 10: 38-42

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

  And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.

  But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

  And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

How can we sit at the Savior's feet?

Day 17

Psalms 66:1-2

Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

  Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

Christmas bells ring to make a joyful noise.

How else do we make joyful noises?
