Bionic Woman Returns!

Michelle Ryan brings "Bionic Woman" to life, 30 years after Lindsay Wagner played the role. I saw this preview today and really enjoyed it, I'm not sure if it will be too scary or not and I will warn you it's a bit intense and fast paced. It reminded me a bit of "Alias" and it starts in the fall.
This is a screenshot and I couldn't figure out how to get it on my blog as there was no code. So to see it you will have to go HERE.

Hope you all had a great long week-end.

Coming Up Candles!

(Let's see we'll go clockwise from the bright orange one which is Pacific Peach, Sweet Freesia, Pina Colada, Sugar, a new batch of Fresh Fig, Fresh, Dark Roast and Green Tea in the middle. Our house smells so good right now)

So I've been behind on blogging lately. That's partly because I've been making lots of candles for our market. We started with candles at the end of last season and have continued on with them. Our friend Jen at Forward Thinking Foods is a huge fan. So this year we added some new scents. Last week I added Sweet Freesia and Green Tea. This week I've got Dark Roast, Pina Colada, Sugar, Fresh, and Pacific Peach.

(some yummy rolls I made not too long ago)

Also it was my mom's birthday last week and we took her out for a nice lunch and walked around downtown etc. Also a lot of house things happening and lots of company friends, family relatives etc. I've been having problems with my internet and thought it was due to my router (and it could still be partly the router). Anywho it kept getting really slow on and off and the other day I asked my internet supplier what was up. Well they sent someone over yesterday to get it all rewired and activated another cable so now my internet it on it's on line instead of sharing with the TV. The guy even said I could have a higher speed then I already have a month free to try out. So now it's super fast.

So I'm alive and well and enjoying life and wanted to do a quick catch up on things. So for those gossip fans I should be updating that blog sometime today. Stay tuned.

Toodle loo,

Imagine Living Here?

Hello blogger buddies. The first market was great for us and not too cold. Everyone was excited to be back and lots of people came to check out the first one.

So I saw these pictures and found them pretty interesting. Not sure I could sleep in most of these places for fear that my life would end quickly. They are neat to look at and I'm not sure where they all are but I'm guessing all over the world.

Enjoy,

S.

Pottery in Motion!


Two Sundays ago I went to this neat church service where the pastor gave a sermon while working with clay and spinning a pot on a wheel.
(The video isn't exactly of the pastor I saw but it gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.) It was great to have the visual and to understand the whole idea how the Lord shapes and molds up. The pastor talked about wedging where you have to take the clay that is a big hard slab and work with it to make it pliable. This is how the Lord has to work with us. We are this big slab and he slowly shapes us. He went on to explain that if you don't do a good job at wedging then there may be a small air pocket in your clay and it won't center properly. If you do manage to get a finished product then when you go to put it in the kiln it will blow up.

What touched me is the realization that the Lord dances over us, He loves the colour of our eyes and hair and thinks we are beautiful the way we are. It's hard for me to conceive that when I look at all my imperfections but He doesn't see us that way. Enjoy the video, it is long but fun to see the process.

Blessings,

:) S.
