Did I say that out loud?

At our last Presidency meeting, Kathy mentioned that her daughter was in need of a babysitter. Her regular babysitter had to go out of the state to take care of her father who was sick. She was just wondering if any of us knew of anyone that babysat. I had this kind of out of body experience as I heard the words "I'll do it" come out of what was apparently my mouth. I didn't even think about it...the words just came out. Kathy was like...are you sure? I know you are busy and she is a real handful. By this time it had sunk in what I had committed myself to and it felt totally right. I said "for some reason, I am supposed to do this" Chalese brought her over last sunday so we could get to know each other before she just dropped her off on monday morning. She busts out with this huge smile the first time our eyes met and I knew we would get along just fine. She is one of those babies that has this look in their eyes like they know stuff.. It's just for a few weeks till school is over and she is a real good baby. I have to say, it has cheered up my day to be with her... so, thank you Heavenly Father for moving in your mysterious ways.

These Iris smell so good. I wish I could save the wonderful smell along with the picture so I could get it out in the winter and remember how lovely spring time flowers are.

I made this for Leslie's birthday.
Tried doing a little applique work on this one and I think it turned out pretty cute.
