Up coming items!
Here is some insider information for those of you who follow my blog.....
Monday I will be adding a tote bags set. "Mommy and Me" Halloween tote bags. This is the first of 4 that I plan to do. Both bags are structured. Mommies bag is larger following the dimensions of my other tote bags and will have 3 pockets inside. Child's bag is also structured with two straps for handles made wide for comfort. This second bags girth is made an inch larger than moms. It also has a pocket but it is on the outside. Great for a cell phone, pens, crayons......their imagination is the limit. They can use the bag for school, toys in the car, all while being festive during the season and then use it for trick or treating! What a kick they will get out of having a bag just like moms!
Have you seen my new Spa Facial Scrubby? If you haven't then you better get over there! This week, homeschool allowing, I will be adding some white ones! Safe to bleach of you need to. Don't get me wrong, I love color but sometimes you want everything in your bathroom to coordinate and nothing does that better than white. I will also be adding listings for more than one scrubby so be on the look out. You can always convo me though. :)
And last I am working on cloth napkins that add the coming home feeling back into your kitchen! Made of some glorious prints and very nice absorbent cotton. I may even make some wipe clean coasters to match!
As you can see this weekend has been an inspiring one full of ideas. Happy shopping!

Together in Prayer
The Lord is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous. - Proverbs 15:29
Prayer gives us the strength to go on. It allows us the ability to communicate with the One Who loves us so very much.
Prayer brings you closer to the Lord and it allows Him the opportunity to speak to our hearts in the areas that we need His guidance.I want to encourage you to pray.
Pray MORE, and pray OFTEN!
May you all have a blessed day.

What's New?
With my sister getting ready to have her second child, I am feeling some inspiration for baby blankets. Crochet ones that is. My description for my latest baby blanket sums up how I feel about them.
Imagine giving a gift that will be welcomed by both mother and child. An heirloom piece for the child to carry with them to share with their children. That's what giving a handmade baby blanket does.
My children have theirs and I have mine still.
I have made this blanket with both the mother and child in mind. Soft and cuddly that will only get softer with washes, and easy to care for with a manageable size to be able to take everywhere for mom. This precious blanket is the perfect size for the car seat, stroller (either on the babies lap or over the stroller as a cover), a quick trip to Nana's or to always have in the diaper bag. This blanket is sure to be the most prized gift!
And it is true! My children still have the baby blankets that were made for them. Notice I said blankets. Each of them has at least 3 and even though my eldest is now 8, she still very much loves her blankets. Long have they forgotten about the ones with the shiny satin site and pretty bunny embroidered on it. Their crochet blankets are the ones that they still use. Long car rides, blankets for their dolls, trips to the doctor or sleep overs have all been seen to with their blankets.
I truly believe there is something magical in crochet baby blankets. Especially when they are no longer babies and they still reach for them.
My head is exploding with ideas for blankets now. The one above is the ever classic and traditional pink. The one I am working on now is brown and pink. Using two strands of yarn makes me want to squeeze this blanket every time I touch it. It will be super warm for the winter months ahead as well and chic with those color choices. I think the border will be pink and I may add a pink flower on the cover of it. Maybe a hat to match! Those cute ear flap ones. Oh I love those! LOL, see I am getting ahead of myself now. It is any wonder I get anything done at all.
Happy crafting!

Reasons that we homeschool
The reasons that we all homeschool are as varied as us and they can be as personal as a wish.
I am a Christian and I homeschool so that my children can be brought up in a Christian atmosphere. I want them to see the truths of the Bible and not be 'brainwashed' into thinking that the worlds sins are 'okay' just because we see them everyday. I do not want them to be desensitized to the pains that take place all over the world by seeing them in unsupervised places where they are left to think what they will and are ashamed to ask questions for fear of being called stupid. After all, asking questions is how we learn and oh how I want them to learn!
So whatever reason it is that you homeschool......religious, medical, location. Hats off to all of you! The sacrifices we make over material items is greatly over come by the light in our children's eyes.
