The skies over Indiana can be glorious.

True, Indiana may not  be able to boast of having the mountains that I grew up loving, but it does have glorious, wide open, sometimes breathtaking skies. And far too often I’m too busy to notice.

I get so wrapped up in being wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend and handmade business owner that I forget to take the moments needed to absorb the beauty I love so dearly and rest.

Does the same thing ever happen to you?

My soul needs rest just as much as my body. It needs time to refocus on the Creator in order to create well, but too often I push that aside for “later” or “when I’m not so busy”.

Today I’m purposing to pull back just a bit from this virtual world {if only for a day}, to leave your orders for tomorrow, to take the time to soak in the beauty that we have been given and to cherish the moments.

And I hope you that are doing the same <3

 

p.s. do you have any tips to help yourself rest in this busy world? please share!

week on instagram from the path less traveled
the random bits, via Instagram

the random bits, via Instagram

Remember how I’ve mentioned Instagram? And how I post to it occasionally? The photos can be a bit random, from my new {broken} coffee mug, to shots of projects in progress, to things that I’m packaging up to send to customers or pretty little packages that have arrived in the mail – bits of just about everything! And lots of baby photos {because she’s just so sweet}. :) If you’d like to follow me and see what we’re up too, I’m @pltmarket :)

Here are some highlights from this week:

Brand new – and hopefully being added to the shop soon – little cloud cupcake toppers! I’ve had these in mind for a while, and finally had the time to make them :)

Have you heard of Dear Lillie? I love her blog, and also her shop. Haven’t bought any of their things yet {I’d LOVE a growth chart!} but on Easter saw that they were having a 30% off sale and so I snatched up the “In Christ Alone” pillow cover. It showed up this week and her packaging was so sweet! And I’m loving the pillow, too. :)

IMG_2241 These paper stars are hanging in the children’s room, and I’m hoping to add some to the shop soon. {really, I have quite a list of things that I hope to have “coming soon”!}IMG_2243 This little guy has been a reluctant napper for the past few weeks, and he actually took a nap on Thursday. {see those eyelashes? they slay me}week on instagram from the path less traveled

another little pretty that came in the mail – Laura of Along for the Ride was having a sale {I love a sale – can you tell?} and when the bracelet I had ordered arrived, I found that she had included this fun set of hoops, as well! Funny thing – I’ve been wearing the earrings more than the bracelet :) Love them!

I’m linking this on Life Rearranged – do you use Instagram? I’d love to see your photos!
