Falafel and the Bee. Motherhood and Creativity: Hand-in-Hand. July 13, 2016. July 9, 2016. Acorn Valley Blog Tour and Giveaway. Welcome to this stop on the Acorn Valley Blog Tour. I chose to sew up another Melanie Knit Dress,. For this tour, only this time I made the neckline differently, and lengthened the dress for my girl to grow into. The fabric is Acorn Valley Main in Cream knit. And Acorn Valley Bloom Dot Teal in knit. It is so soft and lovely to work with. So cute. Can you spot the squirrels?

Falafel and the Bee. Motherhood and Creativity: Hand-in-Hand. August 22, 2016. August 21, 2016. Sewing for my Teen: Bringing home Marbella. A month ago, I shared this Marbella dress. Over at Melly Sews. As a Blank Slate Patterns Team member. Today I get to bring it home! I absolutely adore sewing for my teen. Believe it or not, this pattern is a fairly quick sew! The Marbella uses knit fabric, and has a collar and front placket. Instead of buttons, I used snaps, because I thought they looked cleaner.

There was a orange and goldenrod koi swimming down one forearm and a starlight sky interrupted by the cuff of his short sleeved uniform. There was an icon of a woman: Mary, St. Theresa, St. Catherine? A hard working mother who needs great tools. Why, yes, we are. 8220;What doze pic-sures? 8221; her lispy voice asked.

Essays and reflections in the midst of a very messy life. Tuesday, February 3, 2015. Super bowl commercials and "Vaxxing". For those of you unable to access the internet, social media, and therefore not reading this, nothing. To the rest of you, I WANNA GO BACK TO FUNNY SUPER BOWL COMMERCIALS. Also, there was no dessert.

Essays and reflections in the midst of a very messy life. Sunday, November 24, 2013. About five weeks ago, our daughter, Gwyneth Elise was born. I was privileged to give birth to her dear body, but she was one of the quiet ones. At 38 weeks of life, she died, prior to her birth, and my life was changed. Blessed indeed are those who mourn, for the grace of the Father and the love of the Son and the peace of the Spirit are deep and abundant. Richard, Sarah and Lily. November 25, 2013 at 11:31 AM.

Essays and reflections in the midst of a very messy life. Tuesday, September 3, 2013. Why I Didn't Potty Train. You wouldn't potty train her either. Laine wanted the full potty training course complete with sitting and listening to Circus McGurkus. 964 times while "learning" how to go potty. We had prizes and pull ups and lived deeply and fully into potty training. Annabel simply could not be bothered. She couldn't hold it and, frankly, why would she? So we bought her a princess dress. So, if you have a ...

Thoughts on Dirt: This post is a race
http://www.thoughtsondirt.com/2015/08/this-post-is-race.html
Essays and reflections in the midst of a very messy life. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. This post is a race. I have a story. It's a great story. But I am racing the baby nap. If you have never had children, try to imagine tying a gallon and a half of milk around your neck, eliminating most of your muscle tone in your abdominal area, setting your alarm to go off every two hours during the day and (in my rare and ever blessed case) once or twice at night and you have life with a two month old nursing child.

Essays and reflections in the midst of a very messy life. Friday, April 4, 2014. I have struggled to find a consistent voice in this blogging medium. Over the last five years I have written about gardening, crafting, parenting, cooking, organizing, faith, love, humor and probably more. I have tried to follow in footsteps I admire, keep to a topic or make this a journal, but none of these things have stuck. More than anything, I have written. I know about practice. I have been practicing.always. Thou, fro...
