A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
…I was on TV! If you’ve watched Monster’s Inc. you will remember Mike Wazowski’s exclamation after seeing himself in a commercial. Though his face was covered by logos and brands his excitement was unaffected. I felt a little like that this morning…
I finally finished a Mattie Kate that I feel will be a final pattern. I will continue perfecting as I go but I am donating this one toward Tisra’s Adoption Fund along with a pair of the mini Mary Jane’s that will be made this week in the same fabrics.…
I had big plans for Valentine’s Day. As Friday night turned into Saturday morning I was silently crossing things off my list of adventures. The boys are not feeling well. Owen and Aron both got me up in the middle of the night Friday night. Owen with…
