For the Love of sewing.....

     I was raised around sewing and embroidery machines constantly running and was always fascinated by the intense and intricate work that my granny could do. I was in awe of how one woman could harness so much talent in two small hands. I would watch from afar at patterns being cut with extreme detail, measuring twice before cutting once, then hear the whir of the sewing machine and within what seemed like only minutes a beautiful dress, or robe was there in front of me. At the time I was only amused with "playing" with these machines and took great joy in being able to sit behind it and pretend to sew up an elegant dress, or table cloth. Of course I was never allowed to truly touch or use them, a caution I use today even with my own daughter.
     Looking back at the things I saw and had the privilege of knowing, not in my wildest dream did I ever have any intention of it becoming such a passion and area of work for myself. Now here I sit almost 20 years later and can not get enough of the sewing and embroidery world. There is still so much to see, so many techniques to learn and master. For now I enjoy bringing in a little extra income to our house and satisfying a craving for sewing and all things crafty. I have to say a special thank you to my granny, a woman of very many talents that range from sewing, painting to singing and so very many more. I can most definitely say I received these gifts from her, they are a special blessing God gave to her.

I have opened a small Etsy shop for anyone interested in any of the items I may showcase or make. Please take a look around and share with your friends and family. I try to keep my prices reasonable so that not only the kids look great, so that moms are happy to not have to spend a fortune.

Photo Silhouette

     I just love a great silhouette, whether it be my own child or someone I don't even know from long ago! Either way I think they are sophisticated and enchanting to look at and have in my home. So since I enjoy embroidery so very much I worked up a little silhouette of my daughter. She is 6 now and I just adore how it came out. I am about to begin one for Pennie Girl. She has a little cupie curl in her hair that I think will make for an adorable look. I also tried my hand at some tiny embroidery for a necklace. I did one for myself and one for a dear neighbor who bought those most adorable hoops for me!

The Beautiful Wife

      I have had the privilege to be in a small group called The Beautiful Wife. We are studying this book "The Beautiful Wife" By Sandy Ralya. When starting this group I found out that when these groups are going on Sandy herself is praying over us. Not only our church, but her...the very author of her book is praying for us.  You can email her to let her know you are hosting this group and she encourages you through special messages and prayer. I just think this is an amazing way to connect with an author who is passionate about women becoming a more beautiful wife!      Throughout the last 6 weeks we have read, studied and journaled topics from Self-Care to Inviting Romance into your marriage. It has been a very deep, emotional and eye opening 6 weeks for me. There are areas in my marriage that were quietly hidden that have been opened raw and healed through prayer, journaling and sharing with this amazing group of women that I have come to love an...

Feeling Inadequacy

     Over the last year I have been working toward a closer relationship with God and I believe through this time of gaining more control of areas in my life that Satan has come in and really pressed down hard on me. We all have a weakness whether it be feeling inadequate, a secret addiction, you may be a control freak, a worrier, I could go on but I know you get the picture. Mine is most definitely feeling inadequate! Wow! I've never written that out loud, or confessed it really! Maybe this is an effective way to help conquer this feeling......This inadequacy has hindered me so much in life to the point I would think it all the time. I felt like I saw all these women who had their lives on the straight and narrow not only with God but their marriage, children, their homes and more. I always knew I was a good mother to my daughters but there would be days where I would have other daily pressures of financial stress, the house, family members and so forth where it would ca...
