Emma has been shooting up like a little sunflower this summer! She’s outgrowing her clothes again (my baby girl is getting so big! *sniff*). I just packed away all her tops that were mid-drifting on her and realized that she didn’t have very many left! Vemma is starting to take off but our budget is still pretty tight, so I didn’t feel like going out and spending money on clothing that she might only be wearing for another two or…
Have you checked out the “Ideas” page on the blog? I’ve been updating it with things that I would love to do/make – there are some really sweet projects listed!
If you’ve ever had your scones turn out heavy and rather unappetizing, you might be thinking “hm, those look good but I can’t make them”. You can. I did. And they are sooooo light and creamy! I found the recipe over on Annie’s Eats (I really love her recipes!) and have made it over and over. The main difference between this recipe and the other ones I have tried (and I have tried many) is that is calls for yogurt…
Yeah, you read that right. Four years.It was at least that long ago that I started to collect recipes from magazines that I had tried and liked, or that looked tasty and I wanted to try. I had whole file box full of clippings (it was pretty heavy). I kept adding to it whenever I cleaned out the stack of magazines, and we’ve moved that box with us three times. I planned to “sometime” go through it and put them…
Today I pulled out a box of fabric and made piles. Some piles for future projects, some piles for now projects.Shop updates coming up soon!
God’s Grandeur The world is charged with the grandeur of God. The heavens declare the glory of God; It will flame out, like shining from shook foil; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil -Psalm 19:1 Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Creation itself also will be set free from its Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; …
before being put in the oven I made granola the other day and it turned out better than I thought it would (aside from being slightly burnt)!The recipe ended up being a combination of three that I had on hand, using the things that sounded good to me and leaving out the things that didn’t (or that we didn’t have in the cupboard). All done! Yum.
John and I have been married for 28 months, and it’s been good. Not always easy, but very, very good. “The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It my seem much worse, but in the end it’s going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.”~Elisabeth Elliot I found this post in my drafts file, originally written last June. It’s still true (all I needed to change was the number of months). God’s…
The baby cardigan that I was working on for Ian is finished and ready to wear. It turned out sooooo darling. I made it in the 3-6 month size, but it already fits him! Of course, Ian is a big boy (he was 9lbs 7 oz at birth and now is around 14 lbs). I also didn’t take the time to knit up a swatch before I started, so it may have turned out a bit smaller than the one in…
One of the blogs I follow – Femina, written by Nancy Wilson and her daughters/daughter in law – posted about loving our children. Not just loving them, though, but loving them with a I Corinthians 13 kind of love, a Christ-like love. I was thinking of paraphrasing what they wrote, but it’s all good!So here it is: “1. Love is longsuffering. Moms will have plenty of provocations in this world, so they need to be able to suffer for a…
