tired. but good.

What can beat an evening of sewing while listening to John Piper? (okay, so a lot of things, but really, this is a very lovely combination don't you think?) Tonight's sermon was "Parenting with HOpe in the Worst of Times". what a glorious title. God is most glorified in US when we are most satisfied in HIm. LOVE THAT. Classic Piper.

So my lovely Cousin had her first little bebe this week, and i am so sad to be far from her and so happy for her new life!!!! Wow. what a transformation the first baby brings to a couples' life.... i am stoked for these three happy people :)welcome to the world Baby Logan. (love the name!!! that was our name-pick if Julia had been a boy.)

Here are some whirlwind sewing projects i have designed in lieu of the new Bebe. :)


Camo-Overalls... :) awesome!!!!! :) Now Logan can play real Hide and Seek when mommy brings him out to the forest!! :)


Diaper Wrap, to keep in any diaper-seepage from a long-long-long-restful-full-night of sleep.... I'm praying for that to come with the gift of the wrap of course!! :)


A Bunting Bag to match the overnight-diaper-wrap. :)Perfect for camping trips, when you don't want your little bundle to get cold overnight when they kick off their blankets. :) ((because they CAN'T kick off this blanket!! Muhahahaha.))


I helped out a friend today by adding her daughter to my crew. we walked to the market for veggies, fruit, and donuts of course. :) OH!! AND pussywillows!! aahahaha, the girls sang a PussyWillow song all the way home (like a 30 min. walk!!) . IT was super cute.
Once at home, we had lunch and art time. Then some doll-in-pool play. Kids love anything involving water! It was great to help a friend out, and by the end of the day, i was tired!! :)




These last photos are from Sam's family bday party. I worked hard all day to make time to sew the Party Bunting with trains on it just for Samboy. Julia worked hard all week drawing trains and coloring then, punching holes and stringing them up all over the dining room. :) She loves to decorate. A long piece of beautiful cotton material worked well as our table cloth for the night. My mom brought it for me to sew with eventually... but for a sweet three year old's bday party it worked perfectly as a table decoration! :)
