little gi

she's caught the sewing bug...

i picked up this book on a lark, thinking it sounded like a pretty good little gift that kelly would enjoy.  well...."enjoy" is putting it very lightly.  she LOVES it!

it arrived in the post at about 10 am & by lunch she already had read the beginning lessons about sewing & gathered her supplies to create her own sewing kit.  by 4pm she had made a sweet apple pincushion, a needlebook with a button closure and a little pillow for her doll jane. 

yep...methinks she likes it :)

this morning she is back at it, creating a little monster out of too small T-shirts she found in the donate bin.  holy moly it is looking CUTE so far! 

happy sewing!

it's been a while since i've written here...

life has been full...busy...crazy...fun...hectic...stressful...

good. :)

i was reminded again this week after learning of a horrific tragedy that occurred locally, that yes, it sure is difficult 'round here at times, but man...i'm so blessed and so very thankful.  life is SO good.  it's precious.  

i took my week 14 photo for 52 week project today & thought it would be fun to look back & see how i've done thus far.  about one-quarter way through this project & it is still inspiring me.  my photos aren't the most original on the block, but that's not my focus.  just taking them is....just taking this journey is my focus.  & i'm enjoying it, big time :)

happy weekend!

xoxo
