more sweet creations-- peach jam. Didn't cut up the fruit enough, it floated. It has been so long since I made jam I didn't remember that. But it is sure tasty. We also got a shaved ice machine, and have been experimenting with sugar free or sugar reduced syrups for it. I like it best with orange juice, but we needed more variety.
This week is my last week on the job. Planning some creating time next week! Wednesday and Friday this week are the winding down time. I have closets to clean, laundry to do, catching up. Then maybe creating will be more easily accomplished.
This week I bought a teensy baby doll at Target, she's only 8 inches. She's dressed in a plain jammie and hat combo. The plan is to dress her, make her a blanket, and give her to my husband's grand-niece for her baby. Maybe a quilt, maybe something knit or crocheted. I'm thinking about a tiny ribbed hat; I've done both knit and crocheted, just have to sit down and experiment. I have some cotton verigated yarn that I've been using to make wash cloths and have bits left. Might work.
My husband's mom will be a great-great grandmother any day now! Pretty exciting. So far the mom is doing fine, she's due next week.
Craftiness has been on the back burner. Moving it up to the front.

Phillips Craig and Dean...
That Phillips Craig and Dean song comes to mind…
You don’t have to say it
I can see it in your eyes
Though your heart is bruised
You hide the truth
Beneath a fine disguise
I’ve got something to tell you
Though it’s simple it’s said with love
Nothing new, still it’s as true
As it ever was
[chorus]
He’ll never let you go, oh no
That’s never been His way
When He said that He would love you
He was talking about for always
He’ll never let you go, no matter how low
You feel that you have fallen
His arms are longer still
And He wants you to know
He’ll never let you go
You trace through your failures
And good intentions left behind
And you wonder when you’ll fly again
You’ve lost the will to try
But there in your weakness
You will find the wings of the wind
Should you get scare, He’ll be there
Where He’s always been
[chorus]
And in the desert place where the heart can’t sing
When your faith is shaken
When you can’t face the morning
You’re not on your own
You’ll never walk alone
He’s got you safe beneath His wings, oh
[chorus]

A few I actually stuck with. :)
