I’ve been thinking a bit lately about why I choose to call this blog “the path less traveled.” From the first time that I read Robert Frost’s poem, it seemed to me to be a picture of the Christian life – a life that may be less traveled – and not just the of Christian life in general, but of my life.Long ago I decided to take the “one less traveled by”. I decided that I wanted to let Someone…
*there are a few days left if you’d like to enter the CSN Stores $25 giftcard giveaway! click here to find out how to enter* A few weeks ago I was out and about doing some shopping for Emma’s birthday party and found a package of little white paper doilies at the dollar store. I picked them up thinking it’s always good to have some doilies on hand, even if they didn’t make it into the party decor. :)…
One of the things I really enjoy about my Etsy shop is when my happy customers post a photo of how they’re using their purchase or leave a comment telling me how much they love it. It’s so lovely to know that I’ve been able to bless them! A few weeks ago one of my customers posted something in her own Etsy shop, ZigZagArts, that she had made using the jar she bought. Blue Jar Art Print 5×7 Susie makes…
We got a new nephew last night! John’s twin and his wife birthed an adorable baby boy named Owen Hunter. I’ve heard that Mommy, Daddy and Baby are all doing well and am so looking forward to hearing his special arrival story! Thinking about them as they are getting acquainted with each other, seeing their baby son face to face for the first time and just resting after all the hard work of pregnancy and birth brings memories of the…
*giveaway now closed* The second phase of our move is taking a bit longer than we anticipated, and as we are waiting I’ve been using some of the additional time to dream of possible “someday” crafting/office space – who knows, maybe if I think about it long enough I’ll be able to work it into our new floor plan? :) There are so many options available for creative combinations of crafting storage/home office furniture right now, and CSN Stores has…

A belated Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! I have been working on this post for several days, hoping to get it posted in time to celebrate Valentine’s Day with you, but life kept moving and babies kept needing mommy. Oh well – at least late is better than never. :) Did you catch my brief mention that we are moving? This move is happening in two stages, the first stage of which is complete but now we are waiting…
Sweethearts (this garland was actually my husband’s idea – one day he saw me making a Hearts By the Yard garland for a customer and suggested that I make one all in red but with one white heart – my Sweetheart has the best ideas!) I love February. It’s not my absolute favorite month, but I love it. Partly because in California where I grew up, February was the start of Spring (now, in Indiana, Spring comes more toward the…
It’s been a few days! And what has happened in that space of time? Um, a lot.But at the same time, not so much. We’ve been adjusting to our move (did I mention that we are in the process of moving? no? oops).And we’ve had a lot of snow and ice.January came to an end (really? already? wow …).And I’ve done a bit of thrift store shopping for the shop, started making a baby blanket (but can’t post the pics…
