I Make Things

Look, if you don't want to see pictures of the things I've made recently, I have this super cute picture of Heather for you.  You can just look at it, appreciate how adorable this tiny little person is, and then go on about your day.  I hope it is a really, really, really nice day. 


But if you are interested in what I've made lately, read on.

My sister Rachel who is super very crafty and talented made a little pony mat like this for her daughter Emily, and I copied her.  I was quite pleased with how it turned out, and the girls liked it too, so that's a bonus.


 Blankets for baby boy and baby girl.  These blankets turned out perfectly.  Absolutely the most perfectly best thing I've ever made.



I love these blankets so much, it was sort of physically painful to box them up and send them away.  Do you get like that, with things you make? Emotionally attached?  Ah...

    I become attached to my quilting projects, too! I typically start quilts with the intention of giving them away, but sometimes I just can't do it.

    I would feel a physical attachment to something that beautiful as well. :) Well done! But rest assured that your gifts are loved by the people you give them to. I love Danny's quilts. And that picture of Heather is dang cute! When did she get all big??

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
