Now don't fall off your seat....

because last week...


I made a little something.....


with my sewing machine and all!!



Fly dust , fly.






ok so




it was just straight lines




& it only took a short amount of time..




well a little longer than just short, A & O helped (:










A little gift for my sis-in-law




sending her a little love & whimsy by




a simple table runner & mini bowls




--fabric & ribbon from my stash--




{Mini Latte bowls from here}




Happy Birthday dear Amanda!




Wish we could spend the day with you!




--------------------------------------------




Now that I stuck my toe in the sewing pool...I'm ready to dive back in







{ Patterns from Oliver + s}



What I want to be sewing.... hopefully soon




..I've never used an official printed pattern on my own...




...could be interesting




don't mind us ..if Arabella looks a little askew.




AND THIS IS WHAT..










... I NEED to be finishing...today!






along with much more checks down the list






Thaddeus's big boy duvet cover to match Orrin's






{My mama helped with the main part... so all I need to do is button holes & applique the "No.3"}






Company's coming!... so while lil' T isn't using the bed...






it could be nice for our guest to have an actual made up bed (:






Enjoy your week in each little moment!



....we've got to keep moving & moving to prepare for the many, many feet coming this weekend ... (:









This is where I have been seeking CHRIST today...



in the Power of his Resurrection



and here.
