Keeping Busy!
So in my head I have all these awesome projects I want to post about but usually I get so excited that I finish a project that I forget to take pictures and blog about it. In my head I have an awesome blog, I just forget to actually publish what I think about. haha. Lately I’ve been actually finishing projects, believe it or not! Here is a little round up of life lately… Loops and Ruffles scarf, up for sale in my etsy shop! This is a cute little pillowcase dress/ruffle pants outfit I made for Payt a little while ago. I can’t remember if I posted it or…

Finished Projects (and an overdose of cuteness)
Today was the first day I’ve had in a long time with “nothing” planned to do. Actually, I had to stay home all day to sign for a important package for the hubs. So I dusted off the sewing machine that I’ve sadly been neglecting with school, play dates and the like. First on the list was to make something for myself, yay! I’ve been wanting to make a crochet hook case for awhile to keep all my hooks in one place. I found a great tutorial here. I just recently got my zipper foot and wanted to try it out and I had some piping that I got for…

did i do that?!
So, I have recently become obsessed interested in crocheting and sewing. I find myself getting lost in the seemingly endless circle of links on creative blogs like this one and this one. I find an idea that I love and then I can’t rest until I try it. Little P loves her “kit” (blanket) that a family member made for her and tries to drag it everywhere so I decided to make her a smaller “lovey” to carry around with her. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, and she seemed to like it too! My first “real” sewing project (besides my burlap bag) was…

working with eager hands
If you have been in the Christian world for even a short period of time and are a wife/mother I’m sure you’ve heard of the Proverbs 31 woman. She is the “perfect” Christian woman. Proverbs 31:10-31 describes her. She is a wife of “noble character” a “virtuous woman.” I’ve heard about her for as long as I can remember. At one point in time I really didn’t like her. She seemed like an illusive dream. A “stepford wife” so to speak. I mean, really, could anyone really be a proverbs 31 woman? really? Yes, I know it doesn’t have to be taken literally and it is important to have the…

back on the wagon
…. the blogging wagon that is….while i have been faithfully reading my favorite blogs almost daily, sad to say i haven’t been doing too well updating my own. obviously. i feel like i’ve been trying to get back into a groove ever since we were on vacation at the end of last month. as soon as we got back i jumped right in to planning little P’s first birthday celebration (i plan on writing a blog about that… eventually). it was such a fun time celebrating with amazing friends and family. i can hardly believe she is one. i’ve still been recovering from that, along with starting another term of…
