monday musings: our adventure

By Elizabeth On April 23, 2012 · 10 Comments · In Faith, Life
I mentioned it in passing a few weeks ago when I was putting forth my struggle about the thought of being an only child family. Our adventure. It’s right on the brink now. I am excited and terrified about it and somehow, that makes me feel like it is the right decision. If it isn’t [...]

WIP Wednesday: shower gift, quilt basting and more

By Elizabeth On April 18, 2012 · 4 Comments · In Clothes, Crafts, Purses, Quilts, Sewing
Can you say, easily distracted by instant gratification projects? Well, I needed a gift for a friend’s baby shower! I had fully intended on making something for her since she is the sort that appreciates hand made. . . enter the freeĀ infant peasant dress pattern. Oh did I mention she’s having a girl? It’s so [...]

toddler tuesday: zoo and paint

By Elizabeth On April 17, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Random, Toddler
We went on a visit to the Austin Zoo, which is less of a zoo and more of an animal rescue. We always enjoy visiting the animals that are there. Jude’s favorite animal was this giant pig. Her name was Babe. There was a peacock and a chicken that kept trying to steal the pig’s [...]

monday musings: learning to rest

By Elizabeth On April 16, 2012 · 3 Comments · In Faith, Life
I think I’m finally starting to understand how to rest in my doubt. Sadly, it’s not a 10 step process, so I can’t give you any answers as to how it could work for you. I’ve talked about it here before, how my faith has been punctured with doubt. It has hurt tremendously to wrestle [...]

WIP Wednesday: Bibs, Burps and a Quick Blankie

By Elizabeth On April 11, 2012 · 3 Comments · In Crafts, Sewing
A mom’s group that I’m a part of is providing some items for Project Care Case – which gives foster children items to call their own. I decided to sign up for blanket since I already had some cute little boy fabric on hand. I whipped this up in the course of one nap time [...]

Toddler Tuesday: Thomas, Play for All and Eggs

By Elizabeth On April 10, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Random, Toddler
I couldn’t resist buying this little whistle bubble blower at HEB the other day – Jude loves Thomas and bubbles so much. After our failed attempt at a public Easter egg hunt, we bought some confetti eggs for Jude to find after his nap. He LOVED them. Still lots of time at the park. Jude [...]

Monday Musings: Easter

By Elizabeth On April 9, 2012 · 9 Comments · In Faith, Life
(Too much alliteration?) We spent our Easter very low key. Since we weren’t traveling, I almost forgot to do anything for it – no egg dying, no chocolate bunnies. And then Jason took Jude to a public egg hunt and Jude didn’t even get one egg. The parents and bigger kids had elbowed their way [...]

WIP Wednesday: scallops, shorts and babies

By Elizabeth On April 4, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Clothes, Crafts, Quilts, Sewing
Finished up the quilt top for the scallop quilt! I love it so very much. And I especially love how easy it would be to decrease or increase the size of this quilt. Turns out I didn’t need to pin to get precise curves. Very proud of myself! Now I’m contemplating what the back of [...]

toddler tuesday: paint and marbles

By Elizabeth On April 3, 2012 · 6 Comments · In Random, Toddler
And welcome to another Toddler Tuesday! The marbles have been quite the hit around here lately. The marble runĀ that I showed you last week is still in high demand but we upped the anty: we put the marbles in a box with paint. Pretty sure Jude would do this for the rest of his life [...]

thrifty

By Elizabeth On March 30, 2012 · 3 Comments · In Bargains
I haven’t told y’all about a challenge I gave myself at the beginning of the year, mostly because I wanted to roll it over in my mind for a bit before confessing it out loud on the interwebs. In January of this year, I challenged myself to not buy any new clothing for the whole [...]
