Little Girls and Dresses
Since I wear dresses all the time my little girl prefers to wear them too. I am teaching her to be lady like when she wears one, but she is just a young girl. Tonight I found a blog post that will help me to help her.

Sites That Caught My Eye This Week
My daughter has been wanting to learn to sew, but Buzzard and I don't feel she is ready to work with the sewing machine. I recently came across some websites to teach me and her how to sew with our hands. This is one skill I must admit I have not yet learnt. Children seem to like it when you are learning right along with them any way, so this should be fun.

One Hour Craft
As I was looking for some crafts I could do with Coqui, she loves crafts, I stumbled across something wonderful, two websites for making dolls. I have been telling Buzzard that I wanted to make a home-made doll for her for Christmas. This way I can personalize it and make clothes just like the ones I make for Coqui.

Doll Net Market you can buy some inexpensive doll patterns here. Most are for intermediate and experienced doll makers, which I hope to someday achieve.
Doll Maker This one has a life-size doll with a free pattern.
The Purl Bee In case you are interested in making a felt doll. These can be very pretty.
With so many families being on strict budgets this Christmas maybe some of you will find these websites inspiring.

Nagging
Buzzard is working and going to college and taking care of his family. Due to my disability he carries a bigger responsibility than he did before. I try to find other ways to do things or wait till he is off to ask him to do something like move a table for me. Sometimes I will interrupt him while he is studying and ask him if he can do such and such when he takes a break. With him having so many things on his mind right now I know he sometimes gets lost in what he is doing and forgets that I have asked him to do something. The quandary I come upon is: if I remind him am I nagging? If I don't remind him he may not remember that I need such and such done. I have to admit there have been times when I have reminded him then felt like I was being a nag afterwards. Other times I have not said anything about it again, but have stewed over the fact that he didn't remember. This stewing has shown up in my behavior too, I'm sorry to say, which in turn affects the whole family. As I was writing this it dawned upon me that the best way for me to handle these types of situations is to sit down with him when he isn't busy and ask him what he would like me to do when it slips his mind that I needed something done. I would start this conversation by letting him know how much I appreciate everything he does and that I know he is usually very busy right now. I want him to know that I respect him and want to honor his role as leader of our home.
Maybe there have been times recently when you have been a nag. It is not very becoming or respectful for a wife to be this way. If you find yourself nagging your loved one you should find a way to change this behavior. If you don't know how to do this start with prayer. God may show you how to change or He may want you to go to your husband to discuss it. Your husband is there to guide you, God made him to be a leader of your home.
Please don't misunderstand me; if your husband isn't doing anything you ask of him and he isn't overly busy, asking him more than once to do something isn't being a nag. I don't mean that our husband shouldn't have time to himself. What I am say is that not spend all his time just pursuing his own interest, he should be willing to help you too. Websters dictionary defines nag as: to be a persistent source of annoyance or distraction. I would think that being annoying would be if you are interrupting him over and over while he is busy working, doing important things, or spending some relaxing time by himself .
