Orange Garland and Joy to the World Advent Book {Pages and Projects}
For two or three years now, I’ve thought very much about purchasing the Advent study from She Reads Truth, but so far I never had. I love the Christmas season, but it adds extras and I didn’t know if I would get the study done. We often travel and I always had other Bible studies […]
Christmas Blessing Cash Giveaway 2017
Three of my favorite things about the Christmas season are the cozy, twinkly lights, pretty packages wrapped in crisp paper, and the shimmery colors and sparkle! All these things speak to sensory appeal for me and add elements of beauty and joy to my life. I love how so many of the Christmas pieces can […]
Daily Details of My Week
My washing machine decided to take a break this week and when it comes to washing machines that quite literally means, BREAK. An intake valve for the cold water is done and done. Or something like that. I know nothing about the workings of machines, except I expect them to work when I want them […]
Teacup Exchange 2017
This fall I joined in with Stephanie from the Enchanting Rose for a super-fun teacup exchange. This was the 11th one she has hosted, but my first time to join in. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

Pages and Projects {Bearing Fruit}
Here’s a couple of dish cloths I’ve had on my needles. I finished a couple for a friend and made three others for another gal and totally neglected to take any pictures. Which doesn’t even matter, except for posting here. But I don’t think it’s going to be life-changing for anyone. Ha! This book! Bearing […]

Pretty Ordinary Pictures Because They’re Pretty
Happy Easter! It’s only a bunch of pretty ordinary pictures because they’re pretty. I grow more and more thankful for beauty. And I decided this week that I think I will buy chocolate bunnies for my children until I die! 🙂 {Because chocolate bunnies are important….} Chocolate eggs and flop-eared bunnies are from Winans.

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 […]

Along with greeting February with a cheery hello, we’re welcoming this […]

My roses began blooming this spring and one May-day I clipped some buds and blooms to brighten the house. This led to light streaming in and bouncing off the rosebud. I found my camera and looked through the lens and clicked the shutter closed. I’d wanted to try some lighting techniques and some different settings […]

From the Farmhouse Kitchen: Table Setting and Build Your Own Cupcake
Quite a bit earlier this year, {which really translates as, I CAN NOT REMEMBER WHAT MONTH IT WAS} we had friends coming over and we fixed some food and I set the table and I picked up my camera for some photos, as I often do if I have the time! I loved the hues and […]
