No- Sew Monday: Happiness is…

Hello there!  I hope you guys had a great weekend.  I did!  My husband was a dear and bought me a garbage disposal and installed it Friday night for me.  I helped him pick it out, and headed out for a couple errands and came home to a garbage disposal mostly installed and all my under-the-sink kitchen gadgets on the floor.  I couldn’t have been happier!  I recently switched to washing all my dishes by hand- not by preference, but by necessity.  My dishwasher is great, but since the soap regulations have changed, my dishes are always needing to be rewashed.  So, I just do it right the first time.  My husband said that if I could keep the dishes caught up with for 30 days, he would get me a disposal.  I said, “Alright!,” I went an entire month without missing a day.  And then, I waited for us to have funds to get a disposal, and Friday was the day.   I had been talking major renovations about our kitchen/home earlier in the week, and I think my husband realized I needed something to tide me over or he might come home one day to discover cabinets torn out or something! :)

Today as I’ve been doing laundry and other household stuff, I realized that today is just a happy day.   I decided to share with you today what makes me happy.  I’ll start it out with the familiar phrase from a song I learned clear back in 1st grade:

Happiness is…

Clothes that fit

Making these breadsticks

Having Clean Sheets

Blogging

Going through baby clothes handed down to me

Laughing

Making home made bread

Sunshine

Warm Fires

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lemonade- with red food coloring added to make it pink! (my mom got me a whole canister, and when she realized it was the yellow kind, she added in a big bottle of red food coloring.  1 drop in each serving, and it’s pink as can be!)

Coming up with a new idea all by myself

Having someone to love, and someone to love me

Cardigans- especially in this ‘not so cute,’ maternity mode I’m in :)

Freezer Paper stenciling (more on that later)

Bright colors

Smiles

Kindness

Sewing for fun- not because of necessity

Rain

Alright there ya go.  A few things that I’m incredibly grateful for today.  And I’m off to enjoy a glass of lemonade…with red food coloring added! :)
