First let me confess... I'm blushing on Alexis' behalf, yeah and Nathan's too. After all the nice comments on my last post, I am officially jealous... hahaha.. Just kidding.
I'll be sure to let her know you all think she's gorgeous as soon as she's old enough to get it. Why do I think that day isn't far?! She's growing up so fast!! She now says NO!
I receive grace to raise God fearing, respectful and well grounded children in spite of the negative influences in this country. So help me GOD!!!
So it was the hubby's birthday on Wednesday!! Yay!!
You probably already know how I am about my D and all... yeah I know, I'm a "Ruth" like that *shines teeth*... I'm pretty sure that you don't toss your prized possessions or expensive jewelry around carelessly, so when you've got yourself a boo like mine who loves you and once grew his hair for you, letting you braid it just because, celebrating him should be a regular occurence....
Back in the days when it was just the two of us :o)
*sigh*...it's the little things that make this girl happy...
Ours has been an interesting journey... Up days, down days, laughter, tears... It has been God. Only God.
His birthday was also the perfect opportunity to revive my
Chinese buffet afterwards, which ideally should have been a romantic dinner, but with no one to babysit the munchkins, we had to be done by 6.00 pm in time to pick up them up from daycare.
We had a great time and I'm grateful for God's blessings, especially the ones that money cannot buy... I'm committed to being thankful for the things that are working. Everything else? I'm not losing sleep over what my Father, who neither sleeps nor slumbers, says He's already worked out.
In other gist, I promised Naijamum In London that I would put up pictures of my work.
I have been sewing, but I haven't been putting up pictures cos since I moved, sewing has been on the back burner. It still is, but the thing about making clothes is that for me, it's more than a job. It's something I love to do. Sometimes I'm up till 3am sewing and even though it takes me a lot of time to finish, seeing the smile on my client's face makes it worth it.
I'll post pics of stuff I've made really soon.
I should do the sunshine award thing, as well as update my website and finish 3 dresses that have to be delivered on Thursday... So much to do, so little time *sigh*
I miss Naija, when I had an assistant and tailors and a nanny and... *slapping myself on the head* Wake up and smell the coffee Gbemi, this is your life now!!
Thanks for coming by again and again
I appreciate your taking time out to leave comments.
May your dreams come true.
xoxo
I laughed at '.........Wake up and smell the coffee Gbemi, this is your life now!!'
ReplyDeleteYes oh..Wake up quick, quick.
That's the only way you can cope with the harshness of life abroad :)))
RE: Your husband. Is it wrong of me to say I absolutely LOVE gap-teeth.
My middle son has one now and I am praying it doesn't close.
There's something cheeky about gap-tooth and I find it really yummy on a man.
*slapping myself* I have to stop now before we fall out over your lovely man :)))
You two look really cute together. May its ALWAYS be so. Amen
PS- Take your time with the pics. I will be waiting patiently :)))
PS - I went over to your website and I like the layout. Update asap
