How To Do Ribbon Embroidery And A Little Note...


~Ribbon Embroidery~


I was so happy and excited to learn this really easy and fun way to do embroidery.
It is very forgiving in the way it covers and fills in.
I started with some muslin fabric and some ribbons of lovely colors that are a bit thin.
 You will be able to tell quickly, which size needle goes through the fabric.
 And also a large eye needle
 And for convenience, I bought some iron on transfers of some pretty flowers.

You will really enjoy this and it makes some very pretty gift ideas.





After I was finished embroidering, 
I gave it a  finished look by sewing on some lace trimming!
Now, I have a lovely handmade doily...






Dear Readers,
 As we can all see things are a bit unsettling.
So now more than ever we must focus on our homes!

Set your hand to projects that will bring you peace for a little
while each day. This will help balance out your heart and mind!

This is the time of year to buy many items in surplus because
of holiday cooking. Look for those deals and put them back.
We need to keep a deep pantry with this economy!

Look through and find things you can repurpose to decorate!

Wash all those warm throws for keeping warm and cozy this winter!

Make small amounts of soups to enjoy for dinner!

Pull out your winter jackets and wash them to freshen them up!

Buy some shoe polish and make your shoes look brand new!

Be wise and put as much back as you can;
Because you could be paying much more very soon!

Clean out your cupboards and organize!

If you can, buy a food saver with the jar attachment,
For keeping dry foods fresher longer!

Don't neglect reading the Word!

Keep taking care of yourself...

~Do not allow the spirit of heaviness to enter your home~

Please know how much we all need one another!
Encourage each other
Love your family
Love your Home

Hugs, Roxy

Speak The Truth In Love...

Speak Truth, Living from Glory To Glory Blog...

~Be Still, and Know that I am God~

Psalm 46:10

Headlines swirl and warnings and predictions blare...
We are living in some scary times...

Even in our text messages to loved ones end with this;
Be Safe...

We hear from each other this saying;
Keep your head on a swivel...

Being watchful and aware of your surroundings is a needed reminder!

As much as we see the day approaching, we can still live in peace.

Can I use my words and my means to support those that stand up for us??
Can I be a voice of reason and also Be Still???

Do you feel we have been told to be silenced in a passive aggressive way?
Well, I feel that they want us to comply and have no opinion at all.
Or, if you do have one keep it to yourself.

And sometimes it is wise to not say anything at all!
Except when we repeat what God says about a matter.

Do you believe that God used men that had a vision for this country
To write out the declaration of Independence and the US Constitution?
It is important to understand they were lead because of Godly influence.
They knew how easily a country could turn into a communist rule.

Do not allow something or someone take away your freedom.

Being a Godly homemaker has allowed me to speak and talk
 About the scriptures as they pertain to world events.

Evil tries to disguise itself by saying we know what's best for you.
You will have nothing and be happy...

Even at weddings they use to say if you object say it now,
Or forever hold your peace.
Don't wait to speak truth...
Once a floodgate opens, it's very hard to manually close it again!

~Speak The Truth In Love~

Blessings, Roxy

Red October, Red November...

His Truth Marches On, Living From Glory To Glory Blog


Red October...

I was reminded of that movie and wondered about the

Deeper and true meaning of what was happening in this movie.

So it's about  a product of the Cold War, a prolonged period of animosity between the US and the Soviet Union after WWII. John McTiernan's film adaptation followed in 1990, at the tail end of a standoff that often threatened to erupt into nuclear war
Story by: Tom Clancy

What was the point of Red October?
The Russian submarine captain, Marko Ramius (Sir Sean Connery), defects.
 His goal is taking it to the U.S. to prevent the Russians from using it to start
 a nuclear war against the U.S.

Okay, so why the interest?
I think it started with the thought of this hope;
May we see a Red Wave in November...

I am so proud of those who have stood up for our constitution!
When I hear people say that they are a constitutionalist,
I am like wow that even has to be a thing nowadays?!  
The defense of Liberty was I thought what every American wanted.

I awoke this morning singing this song...
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

This wonderful song is called the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
I learned this song in school as a little girl.
Wonder if they're still teaching this?  NOT...

I refuse to lose my Joy in these days of political chaos!

I have taken the time to decorate my home for Fall!
I am buying things to put back in the pantry!
I have been reading some books that were on the Peal Harbor attack.
I have been making smaller portions of our dinner meals
 To stretch and not waste.

I have been keeping busy!

I truly never understood how people could not see or hear;
When propaganda was being spun over the radio waves!

My Hubby has always said, well if its on Google, it must be true. NOT!
Now, we have YouTube and twitter and local news.

How do you discern between all the information!?
Dig deep, look at their past history!
Look past personalities and look at their policies.

I am a God fearing Woman!
A Homemaker!
A Bride to my Husband!
A New Great Grandmother...

Stand Tall, Fear Not...
Shut out the distractions and Vote God's Heart...

No Matter what they say or what happens;
His Truth Is Marching On!!

Happy Day
Choose JOY

"And thank you for all the many E-mails I received on my last Post"

Blessings, Roxy

There Is A Bad Moon Rising...

 

There's A Bad Moon Rising, Living From Glory To Glory Blog 

There's A Bad Moon Rising

We were just overwhelmed with the Full Moons intensity recently.

There is a sense that has had me very quiet in the last few months.

Some call it the Political Sphere;

Some call it the End Days

Some call it Fear Mongering

Some call it Evil

Some call it Persecution

Some call it...

Whatever you may think of these days we are experiencing;

The bottom line is this,

"A Bad Moon Is Rising"

This (Thing) is trying to control us.

The (Thing) wants to destroy us.

This (Thing) wants to kill us.

You must of heard somewhere on the internet or news,

That they want to get rid of 90% of the world's population.

Now, that must make you feel warm and cozy deep down!    (NOT)...

I heard that Halloween is the second most celebrated season in our country!

All of this makes me want to follow even more the ancient pathways that the

Lord has given us to follow!

There is a plague of death everywhere.

From movies to songs to tattoos, to decorations and jewelry.

So I just wanted to say this, I have nothing in common with what

Is going on in our society.

I want nothing to do with the evil that is being spun on social media.

Or our news stations, or the political bashing.

What was once the agencies that were put in place to protect us?;!

Is now what is being used against anyone who tries to think or speak,

Outside the narrator that is being woven in the minds and hearts of many!

Can you be so easily deceived?

Can you not discern between evil and good?

So, I will say this dear one's, I will continue blogging for those of us

That are like minded and yet are not oblivious of the onslaught.

We will not be overcome by evil!

We will overcome evil with good!

But, Look-Up for your redemption draweth nigh.

Please forgive me for not posting or writing as often,

But I think we can all relate to the facts before us.

Time is so valuable!

And time is accelerating!

So be mindful of what you deem is valuable!

If there ever was a time to give 10% of your time to the Lord;

~The Time Is Now~

Blessings, to those that have read my Blog postings these last 10 years.

Blessings, to those who desire to know the Truth.

Blessings, to those who pray for the Fathers Will To Be Done...

Always, Roxy

Stocking Up On Taters And Dehydrating Frozen Vegtables...

 Potatoe A Life Staple, Living From Glory To Glory Blog


Potatoes In Your Pantry

Hopefully you're all very busy stocking your pantry.

Potatoes are a staple in my pantry.

But they have become very high priced.

I have bought shredded frozen Hash browns and then dehydrated them.

My daughter told me to buy the canned ones, as they are easy to fry up,

And to use them in soups or a small batch of potato salad.

Also purchased dried flaked potatoes for mashed taters.

If you have not started your stocking up, I am afraid you will

Be paying a much higher price, so don't wait any longer!

The potatoes  were almost 12.00 dollars a 5lb. bag!!

I will check our local Farmers Market today.

I have pressured canned potatoes many years ago when prices were high.

I think I may be putting some up again.


Do what you can ladies to feel the wonderful feeling of

Putting up the harvest or bounty.

Do you have a dehydrator?

This little machine is a work horse for

 Putting up a long term vegetable's.

It's really easy if you buy frozen ones, then put in the dehydrator,

~I have done frozen bags of these items so far~

Peas, Shredded potato, spinach, onions. green beans,

Carrots, mixed vegetables!

Going to get some frozen Kale for soups later to dehydrate.

As you do not have to blanch them.

Then I place them in a glass jar and vacuum seal them for the long term.

But if you just want them for your daily cooking just keep

In a cool, dark pantry and use in soups and stews.

They rehydrate really well, Just place some in a boil and add some hot water.

Dehydrate Store Bought Frozen Veggies, Living From Glory To Glory Blog...

What are you doing to combat high food prices?

Buy on sale...

Buy in bulk...

Buy at least 5 of everything when shopping of even one item...

Build up your Pantry...

Get creative...

Everyone can do something...

I have been so busy putting food for my Family

May you see and Feel the URGENCY also...

As always Living From Glory To Glory

Pray for Our Country

Prepare For Hard Times

Is Fun working on Your Pantry...

Tell me are your eyes open or are you still sleeping?

Stock Your Pantry With Beans...

Pantry, Pinto Beans, Living From Glory To Glory Blog...

 


Beans, And More Beans...


Stocking Up On Foods For Your Family

Preparing for what has been planned;

Can you even imagine having to be rationed?

We have lived in the land of plenty!

We were assured of grain, because of the breadbasket of our nation,

It thrived and was given seed and water and fertilizer.

But we are now seeing shortages

But, after reading and talking to many people;

The consensus is the shortages have not even begun!

So, I write this post pleading with the ladies that have been,

Reading about what is going on in the world.

Will start  preparing or continue for hardships!

The term being a Prepper has a whole new meaning for many!

I am going to start with a few basic ideas and a few tips I have learned!

I always think of the scripture

Strength and dignity are her clothing,

She laughs at the days to come!

Proverbs 31:25

"Firstly, God is our provider, He takes care of His Own"

Start with the basic's...

What are they?

Food and Water

Shelter

Let's start with what everyone can afford to do;

Beans...

Use your creative cooking skills and have the directions on how to cook them!

Write down some recipes or ideas in how to use them!

Black Eye Peas

Lentils

Northern Beans

Lima Beans

Black beans

Pinto Beans

Split Peas

Garbanzo Beans

Try to put back canned beans and dried beans!

The canned beans need to be stored in a cool dark place!

(They will last for 10-20 years)

Those expiration dates are for the government;

Always check the structure of each can before putting in your cart!

Any dents, or squishy top is compromised!

Must be in perfect condition.

Buy the Store Brand Name, usually cheaper!


Place your dry beans in the original package

 In a glass jar or a sturdy tin or tub.

Every time you go to the store, you should

Purchase a dry or can bean until you have at least a months worth!


TIP: Find a place in your home to start your Food Storage!

Clean it it out and organize what you may already have.


Do not throw out expired foods, if you were really hungry

 You would eat and be grateful!


TIP: Dispose of cans that are dented, rusty or bulging.

If you open it and smells off, dispose of it!


Remember beans are a staple and so frugal and delicious!

How many days worth of good protein and fiber do you have?

As Always; Living From Glory To Glory

Time To Stock Up And Put Back...

 



Time To Stock Up And Put Back

I heard a gentleman a few years back speaking on

Investing your monies.

 I have found myself thinking about what he said.

He explained how the market worked;

But when he said your purchasing power was best used by

Buying foods and items that would continue to rise in price.



Greetings to so many out there;

We took a trip and traveled to many places.

I came back with an awareness that I didn't have before.

Sometimes when you live in a small town, and don't get out much,

You may not see how much our America has changed!

Most the people we saw and chatted with were keenly

Aware of the changes in their lives and their cities.

When we arrived back home,

 we both felt we needed to be more

prepared...

Make a plan!!

Buy what you will cook or prepare and enjoy eating first!

Then put back food staples.

Be mindful and prayerful!!

The shifting has started and I believe rough times may be ahead!

I am not an alarmist, but a practical wise woman!

Get busy

Prices are rising weekly

Many are warning of shortages

Watch for sales at your market!


Look at bags of self-rising flour, they were very inexpensive

Compared to regular flour!

Shall I say more on this subject?

Blessings, Roxy

Redeeming The Time...

Never Give Up, Living from Glory To Glory Blog

 The Time Is Now

Redeeming the time, Because the days are evil.

One thing I am always amazed at is how even in trials and unrest;
Our God will give us times of rest. Free from pain or lack of sleep.

Redeeming the time is something we can do every single day!
We will not always even be aware that we are redeeming the time.

It really is always on God's timetable!
I believe even those little prayers we breath out can change a situation.

We must refuse and resist the urge to give up!
I am always filled with wonder when I see someone who
overcomes and keeps planting a certain flower seed.
Believing it will sprout and give her a beautiful flower garden.

We are drawn to the scriptures and the stories of those that,
Did not give up and persevered in hard times.

Some call it pure grit;
I call it pure Grace...

I believe this country has a divine destiny USA
I believe each person that is part of Gods elect will fulfill
All that God has given him or her to do!

Fill your heart with fuel to travel far!

But there is only a gap to stop and reflect on what is important!
The future is certain, you are part of His plan!
He will use us if we are willing!

Let not your heart be troubled...
