A Lesson in Patience

Hello! Today I’ll be sharing what I’ve recently been working on in the area of artistic pursuits. The project: What is that, you ask? This, very detailed, “paint-by-number”. (I don’t really like calling it that, since it sounds like I’m working on a little kid’s coloring sheet…but it is technically a “paint-by-number”) Anyway, I’ve worked on this painting for many…

On the Wide Frontier

Hello again! I hope you’re looking forward to finding new books to read! About the books: Today, I’m sharing this trilogy. In a lot of ways, it reminds me of this series.

The story begins just…

Dark Plum + Sandals

Hello. How is your Monday going so far? This is an outfit I wore to church a few Sundays ago. I have to admit,I wasn’t feeling very inspired that Saturday night when I was trying to find an outfit to wear for the next day. I felt like nothing in my closet fit me, or matched anything else in my…

A Birthday Pig

Hello! It’s a beautiful day today, just right for another Simply Saturday post. 😉 This project I completed over the last week or so. I made it as a gift for one of my nieces, who’s second birthday was this past Wednesday. Although it’s a little hard to tell with toddlers, I think she liked it! 😉 I really loved…
