I haven't really felt up to blogging lately.  It feels like my life isn't terribly interesting to most people.  I just keep plugging along through life trying to trust God and do the right thing.  Like anyone, I have struggles but I also have victories.  God is faithful even when we are faithless.  Dh is slowly gaining a reputation among Louie's customers.  Louie was so impressed with dh's work ethic that he gave him $50.  It's not much but it helps.  Everyday he earns more tips and soon, he will be doing table massages that actually pay.  I've started making new effort to sell Tupperware.  A teller at the Credit Union asked me for a catalog when I deposited my tiny check.  I will be working as an election judge on election day to bring in a little extra cash.  I finished Amanda's blouse and have started cutting the strips for quillows I'm making for Christmas.  The design uses log cabin blocks to produce a woven color effect.  I cleaned up my sewing area Sunday so that I would have space to get started on Christmas projects.  I'm going to sit and make a list and organize my projects.  I'm still working on the smocking for Sarah's birthday dress.  I think I've got the smocking figured out so it should go fairly quickly now.  School continues to progress.  I'm still a bit discouraged that we couldn't buy all of the curriculum we needed but hopefully they'll catch up on the missing subjects fairly quickly once we have what we need.
