Well, hello there! It’s been a few days since I’ve posted anything …… but I have a good reason (I mean, other than being a mommy to two little ones, that is)! We took a week of vacation to visit family, and now are back. It was a good time of reconnecting with everyone,and my family especially enjoyed meeting Ian. His Grampa and aunts and uncles were completely smitten. :) Things are settling into their routine again, the laundry is…
Well, it sure is taking me a while to finish posting about what I made for the Challenge! Here’s the nightie that I made for Emma. Emma’s much loved Disney Princess nightie was getting quite small on her, so I decided to refashion an adult sized nightshirt into a little nightgown for her. I didn’t take any photos along the way, but here’s how it turned out. Using the Princess nightie as a pattern, I cut the original shirt down…
My mom ordered a custom set of aprons to use as a wedding gift. I love how they turned out! I like them so much, in fact, that I’m thinking of adding something similar to the shop. Thoughts? and, once again I’m linking to some of these fun project round-ups. :)
Circles Garland – autumn hues Black and Orange Circles Garland If you’ve checked my Etsy site recently, you may have noticed that I’ve added some new autumn themed bunting to the shop!

Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” -Elisabeth Elliot I found this quote on someone’s blog this morning. So good. I’ve been pondering – what’s…

Ian’s hat, originally uploaded by Lizi Beth. I’ve been working away, although a little at time, on my daily hour+ commitment for the KCWC. It’s been so nice to have an excuse to sit down and make little clothes for my babies! On Monday I made Emma a nightie using a nightshirt that I cut down and altered (pics coming in a later post). It turned out so sweet. Tuesday, Wednesday and today I’ve been knitting up a little hat…
you find yourself figuring out how to nurse a 15 1/2 lb baby and help a little one on to the potty seat at the same time (quite the trick!).
your kitchen sink looks like this 5+ days a week (or you perpetually have a bowl of Oxy Clean on your counter, soaking whatever was soiled recently).
