For what you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing: it also depends on what sort of person you are. ~ C.S. Lewis There’s much to ponder about PERSPECTIVE, PLACEMENT, and POSITIVITY. The way I perceive life, the part of the world I live in and the attitude I choose […]
Pages and Projects {At Home In The World}
What have you been reading? I just finished At Home in the World by Tsh Oxenreider. I flew through it pretty quickly. It was fascinating and intriguing and made me even more thankful for home and my cozy couch and hot shower and own bed while simultaneously making me want to book a flight to […]
Ribbon and Flower Bookmarks
I put together these ribbon and flower bookmark/gift embellishments a few weeks ago. I wanted to gift Never Unfriended to a couple of friends and I was trying to think how I wanted to “wrap” them. I thought about simply wrapping ribbon around them like I did for a book gift shown in this post. […]
Pages and Projects {Laddie}
I’ve been reading Laddie by Gene Stratton Porter. I read Girl of the Limberlost and Freckles and the Harvester years ago. I reread Girl of the Limberlost not so long, long ago. I have never read Laddie, though. A friend mentioned her love of it to me. I was instantly intrigued since I loved Gene Stratton […]

Pages and Projects {The Kindness Challenge}
Shaunti Feldhaun’s newest book The Kindness Challenge has been laying on my to-read stack for a little while. I pulled it out this past week. I’ve wanted to read it ever since I got it. I just haven’t. Maybe because part of me wants very much to be kind, to live kindness, to grow in […]
She Reads Truth Bible Review
Today we’re going to look at the She Reads Truth Bible. It’s a Christian Standard Bible. I was excited to receive one to review and one to give away. UPDATE: Giveaway over, but you can still browse and get a feel for the SRT Bible. 🙂 It is a neat Bible and has several neat […]
Pages and Projects {The Purposeful Planner}
I’m changing up my post name. Instead of Yarn Along, I’m going to give Pages and Projects a try. I’m still going to be talking about books a lot! And my knitting or whatever other project I think about posting. Ginny Sheller decided it was time to quit posting her Yarn Along link-up due to […]
Yarn Along {Never Unfriended}
Here are three fun facts I posted on Instagram last week ~ 1. Anablephobia is the fear of looking up. 2. Mozart was 4 or 5 years old when he created his first musical compositions. 3. Apples, peaches and raspberries are all members of the rose family. What’s your fun fact of the day? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• […]
Yarn Along {Outlive Your Life}
Back in March I finished up a couple of pom-pom wreaths and I took these pictures. I really enjoy making these wreaths. {DIY for a pom-pom wreath in this post here ~} I enjoy blogging about the wreaths too….it’s just having time to! {I never, never get all the projects and ideas done like I’d […]

Books I’d Like To Read Again For the First Time
It’s Think Write Thursday over at Carole Knits! The topic? Write about a book you wish you could read again for the first time. Well. We all know I probably can’t talk about only ONE book! Here’s a few I’m going to mention. The Blue Castle. You can read my post I wrote about it […]
Yarn Along {Once Upon a Time Storybook Bible}
Isn’t this camper pillow the most fun?! It’s from my sister’s shop over here at Sew a Fine Seam. I snagged it {not literally}{well, not in the literal pull-a-thread kind of snaggy way} while we were in Ohio because it was the perfect gift for a friend. I love the springy colors and all the […]
Yarn Along {Love Does}
Another week…………..and more books, of course! I started Love Does and All the Pretty Things. I’m about to finish Love Does. It’s a super-easy read and it is fascinating. I’ll admit that All the Pretty Things is a little bit of a hard read for me. It’s not really all that pretty of a childhood. […]
Yarn Along {The Magnolia Story}
Currently opening the covers on these……………….. And currently on my needles……………… I was in the library and spied a copy of The Magnolia Story. I’ve seen the book pop up online a lot and I’d had a friend tell me she listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed it. I’ve watched part of a couple […]
Yarn Along {Word Writers James and a Rag-Tag Pom-Pom Wreath}
Showing up around here in our books and yarn categories……. A little progress on this dishcloth! Do you use essential oils? I have for several years now. I use Young Living and I really love them. I also highly recommend this Reference Guide. I think there is a mobile version of it available as well. […]
