{ SUNDAY'S SIMPLE THINGS }

Sundays are good: my husband is home, I can get some sewing done in the morning while he plays football with te kids.
Summer is now truly upon us: lots of play time, less Me time i.e. less sewing time. 
But in the evenings I manage to sew this pillow cover, my firts ever pillow cover.
Earlier this week , my dear friend Patty Sloniger, posted a photo of a quilt as you go block she was sewing, inspired by this tutorial. I was hooked! 

 I pulled out of my stash all the scraps from her collections that I had from a previous project and from a great envelop she sent me earlier this year. 
And I just had fun.

I also gifted myself with this Lisa Leonard necklace: a long time desire of mine!
I had it engraved on one side "All is grace" as a daily reminder of God's grace working in my life, and on the other side with my kids initials: m&b.

 I think it is important sometimes to treat yourself of something sweet and pretty. I don't do it very often, and as mother's we usually think about others first. It was great to wear it this week !

What are your favorite treats to yourself?? Do you treat yourself sometimes?? 
I wish you a great sunday
