Clinging to...

  "...we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."

 Romans 5:3 (NIV)

Blue is for Boy

And a little green and ivory never hurt anybody. That's right folks, we're having a boy. These little slippers are his first handmade gift from me... ah, so sweet...
I'm loving the green soles...
And the tiny-ness. Happy news for a happy Friday. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Big News and a Little Bump

 

Wow, it's been over two months with no updates. I hope you'll welcome me back and the new little addition that is now with me wherever I go... Yes, we are 15 weeks and two days pregnant! I am finally beginning to feel a bit more like myself with the added bonus of a baby on the way... The best part? We already know what we're having! But that big news will have to wait til tomorrow. I'm working on some adorable little baby slippers to illustrate the big reveal. Any guesses while you wait?

A Slip Cover for Me

What I'm wearing today. I finally finished it just in time to link up with The Pleated Poppy's What I Wore Wednesday...  

I've been working on this sweater for over a year. Don't worry, I took many many breaks. Believe it or not, the part that took the longest was the sleeves. I know there really aren't any sleeves... But, I had initially intended to make long sleeves with a flair at the wrist. After much trial and error, I finally concluded that a sleeveless sweater would be best. And the coolest part about a no-sleeve sweater is its versatility. I can layer it with a long-sleeved colored shirt when the weather gets a little chilly, or just go sleeveless in the sun.  

 So cozy and soft. This is the first item I've made for my own selfish pleasure in quite a long time... Kinda feels like my birthday. 

I only wish I had better photos to share. I did the best I could with the evening lighting and no tripod. Hopefully you get the general idea.

Happy Wednesday everyone.
