I love this kid and her outlook on life.

Between the two of us we have outfitted our newish new bathroom. New vanity, new mirror cabinet and lots of new textiles. Such fun!

And as an added bonus, the sink was half off in the As Is room. What luck!

Suspicious creatures sighted at the Church Fair. We decided to keep them around.

The Church fair thanks my Dad for this great display piece!

What else to do when Mama’s busy?

For one week of the year the girls and I spend a large amount of time setting out and organizing the used book table for our church fair.

This year our books got a new home. A few men a the church have renovated an old room and brought it back to life. This year the book sale is lighter and brighter and roomier than ever!

Our church helps to support a missionary family living in Equatorial Guinea, in Africa. We are all working together send them a care package for Christmas, with most of their ‘wish list’ focusing on their three young boys’ needs.

One of the listed items was “small bits of yarn”. When I saw that, I knew that we were destined to fulfill it.

Thanks to my yarn scrap bag, two eager helpers and the wonderful spoils of the internet, these sweet cats came about. As Peter said later, “If you’re going to send bits of yarn, you might as well make them cute.” I do agree.

Everyone is welcome at our church, and Esme knows just how to charm even the youngest of congregants.

Because when you get a chance to go to the movies, you take it!
