a rooting jar, hanging in our window … from posts all about Emma, that is (and yes, I did just go look up “divergence” to see if it really is a word, which it is, and if it means what I want it to, which it does). I love Crate & Barrel. I mean, I love Crate & Barrel. Not obsessively, but I have a very strong affection for that store. I even registered there for our wedding when there…
six and a half months, originally uploaded by Lizi Beth.
In the last month she has learned to smile (with a kind of scrunched up “cheese!” smile) when she sees me pull out the camera. She makes our every moment so precious. Just sitting here at the computer is taking myself away from her soft little hands, her ever learning, sparkling and laughing eyes, her range of faces as she begins to figure out emotions. trying to grab the camera so pleased with herself! cheese, again are you finished yet…
Martha Stewart’s website features a tutorial on how to make plump tomato pincushions. They look so cute and sweet and so very summery. I just had an idea that would bring them into fall ……….. make little pumpkins! Not even as pincushions, just little decorative pumpkins (instead of the petite ones that you can buy to decorate with but aren’t supposed to cook). They would be adorable on a mantle or in a big bowl. A fun project that you…
I saw this post in my blogroll this morning – oh, it is so lovely! The photos (all shamelessly borrowed from the post) are from a stationary boutique – Luxe Expressions – in Atlanta Wouldn’t it be lovely to translate these into an apartment? Duponi silk drapes, sheer organza draping the ceiling, glass doors, lots of rich colors, gilding and white and a bit of brick to keep it all grounded ……. *sigh*
p.s. i got the bathroom painted, and we walked to the library. Emma was holding on to her hat the whole way there and back – so cute! I have no idea why she did it (she never has before), but everyone who saw her thought that she was adorable. 1. clear my inbox, 2. paint the master bathroom, and 3., take care of Emma. We might go swimming (because Summer is ending and I want to try to get…
for a little boy at church who turned two. it is made of wool and bamboo and has a little brim (just to make it a little cuter). the little boy has strawberry blonde curls and chubby cheeks …………… and now he has a hat to go with them.
Do you remember the Scripture Memory Challenge?Well ……………. I haven’t done too well at it recently. The last time I posted a memory verse was way back in June. There have been some verses memorized since then, I just haven’t signed in or posted them. So I have some catching up to do. Especially considering the fact that it was my one resolution this year! So here are a few that I memorized this summer (i studied Philippians with a…
a few months ago I posted about the emotions and fear that I was feeling as I became a mother. Last night I went through it all again. Not that I re-read the post. No,
There is a book that I saw while I was with Anna in San Antonio last summer that I absolutely loved, and put on hold at our library as soon as I got back. (I was just looking in my blog archive for a post from that trip to Texas and didn’t find one. Going to have do that ….. it was a wonderful weekend). Well, a year later, the book is finally ready for me to pick up. It…
