What happened to "frequent"?

It’s been a long time since I added anything here. I blame the fact that I received an awesome surprise gift from my mom and sister. This little beauty below:



Therefore, as predicted almost a month ago, I did in fact think of at least 20 other things to make for Christmas gifts, making that a focus for me. I will add some pictures of the gifts so far tomorrow (hopefully).

There is something very rewarding in knowing that something now exists because I created it. And I’m talking about things like stuffed toys. I cannot even begin to fathom what the Lord felt when He created everything- or when He created us. I’m really feeling like the Proverbs 31 woman when I sew or bake to provide something for my family, which is something I strive to be. {Prov. 31: 10- 31}

Christmas time is here...well not yet


I am so looking forward to Christmas! I have almost too many ideas and plans for Christmas gifts and am not sure they will all be completed. A sewing machine would certainly help to lighten the load...although once I get one I know that I will think of about 20 other gifts I want to make. Almost 3 months away, but it's great to already be dwelling on Christmas and certainly makes me think more about the ultimate gift of Jesus.
