As a Godparent, I often think about what I could give my Godchild to encourage them in their walk of faith. A gift that they can use, don’t have to worry about breaking, and will remind them of the very special and miraculous day that the Holy Spirit claimed...

The Wurm is complete! Tony says I’m a total hippie in it. I’m ok with that. I have also spotted the man wearing it a few times but dusty pink is just not his color. Might have to make another one. Free pattern on Ravelry.

This last weekend I spent some good quality time with my knitting needles. (Dang those dishes that are still sitting dirty by the sink!) Here’s my progress on my Wurm hat. You can see the stripping of the dusty pink and light mustard. I kind of like how it...

I pulled a recipe from Midwest Living this last weekend–Cranberry Sausage Stuffed Pork Chops with Pumpkin Gravy. It looked good and won first place out of a huge number of recipes, so I figured it had to be at least decent. It was amazing!! I used pork chops...

A little one is on the way for a sweet friend, so I made up a little quilt to keep the guy cozied up in. It’s kind of a stacked coin pattern…just kind of made it up. Very easy. One of my favorite things in the quilting world lately is all the very simple...

On average, I probably take on a couple of bigger projects for people through the year. One project that I recently took on was an interesting one. A new friend from Bible Study asked me to take a look at her great grandma’s quilt that she inherited. She...

This last weekend our family took a few days vacation up to Brainerd MN. Man I love that country! We avoided snowstorms–a perk to being married to a weather guy–and enjoyed time with my parents, the beautiful woods, and a wee bit of fresh snow to ski on....

At Christmas time, my brother got a new metal ladder and was so grateful that he could finally get rid of his old wooden one. Wooden one! I had just made a pin on Pinterest about a wooden ladder shelf–perfect! Our car was so full that we could not bring the...

A few weeks ago month ago I skipped over to my friends house and made a couple really easy projects as kids ran wildly all around us. Read: projects easy enough to be dealing with who knows what at any given moment. The first is an easy Valentine’s Day...

We had a birthday yesterday–Elias turned 2! It is so much fun now that he is able to understand and communicate things better. We woke him up with birthday wishes for the day and then showed him all the decorations. He wore the crown I made last year, ohhhed...

Getting ready for spring by planting seeds and playing in dirt. I think we’re a wee bit early.

This project has been on my to-do chalk board in my sewing room for a while now. A new cover for my heating pad! Usually when I have to pull out the heating pad it means that I probably need an extra bit of cheering. Hopefully this will bring a little smile when I...

My sewing machine has been humming prettily the last few nights. Here’s my work in progress. I hope to finish it tonight and then I’ll tell you what it is.

In the video on Homemade Vanilla Extract from my previous post, I mentioned Cardamon Sweet Buns. It was my first time trying this recipe and we LOVED them! So much so that I wanted to share the recipe with you. It is from the Bethel Lutheran Church cookbook in...
