I had a great weekend after a super crazy week last week. We got home from Billings on Friday night about midnight. Bright and early Saturday morning I was to the Farmer's Market to get a space and set up. I did very well this week – sold 4 bags that were already made and got special orders for 3 others, delivered a special order from 2 weeks ago, got some more fabric and even managed a nap in the afternoon.

Sunday was wonderful as always. I love Sunday's. They fill my bucket back up! Our Relief Society lesson was on Happiness. Annie (the teacher) took some scriptures from the Topical Guide on Happiness and we read and discussed them. Very enlightening lesson. Got me thinking about how much one's attitude dictates their happiness. She said that her little boy (2 yrs) has recently learned and understands the word and concept of SAD. So everything that he notices is "baby sad" "mommy sad" "Blake sad" – you get the picture. She has decided that she wants him to not focus on the sad but rather on the happy and therefore is taking every opportunity to point out HAPPY and said it has made a huge difference in the way she looks at her everyday life – pointing out the HAPPY to Blake has made her more aware of the happy in her life. I love that! Wish I had a little one around to do that with.

This week is going to be busy. I have 3 days to sew and get my special order bags done as well as others for the Farmer's Market on Saturday. My brother and his family are coming to visit for a week on Thursday. I don't want to be doing any sewing while they are here so I must work fast and furious until they arrive. I am trying to get used to the schedule I must keep during the school year with Seminary. I am not a morning person so getting up early is a challenge for me. But I was up at 6:00 this morning studying my Seminary lessons. So now I have the rest of the day for my sewing! And errands, and all those things that come with Mondays...but all is good...it is a beautiful summer day!
