Good for me too.

We're going to have breakfast with Princesses again this morning. Woohoo!

It doesn't get much better than this!

I felt about 5 yrs old myself when Cinderella was admiring the dress I made for Eliana. 

 

Catching Leprechauns

Seth and Eliana built this trap in hopes of catching a Leprechaun.. You know they are quite smart so you really have to out smart them.

Eliana drew up the plans and they built it. Though I did go to the craft store to get supplies. My favorite part :)

I just think it might work ;)

Thanks,

A HUGE thank you and some sewing

I first off want to say THANK YOU to all of you who have posted to my blog and sent me some e-mails regarding my faith struggle. You have no idea how encouraging each one of them have been to me. I really feel like God used all of you to reach out His hand and hold onto me..

Thank you all so much

I have made a couple outfits for Eliana

These are both using Ottobre 301 T-shirt pattern.. and a skirt from Ottobre . I just love Ottobre.. once you get passed learning how to trace and add seam allowances.. you can count on it working..

Anyway.. here is her new cowgirl outfit..she REALLY did not want her picture taken....

Next up a really playful set.. I think the added touch with the embroidery really makes the skirt standout...Yes she is quite chilly

And the winner is....

Landon Ponek

oh yeah!!!!
Landon took the 1st place medal in the sparring segment at his 1st Tae Kwon Do Tournament today in Sacramento

WE are really proud of him
I didn't get to go, as Eliana was sick today.. But I just wanted to show off my boy :)






Not sure who scored the point on this but I thought it showed real effort on both boys part.

Looking pleased after his win.. he is turning into a handsome young man



















My nieces came to cheer him on.. aren't they cute

To have Faith like a child

I soooooo long to have childlike faith. In the last year of my walk with God.. my faith is weak and struggling.

We have changed churches(really hard to do after 9 years), have a struggling teen, loss of faith in the Ministry, money struggles, physical pain..and plain old life....

Today my oldest daughter was reading her Health questions out loud at the breakfast table.

The question was asked "If you have an elderly friend who needs medical attention, where should you send them to get help?"

My 5 year old faith filled daughter.. simply anwsered "Jesus" She completely believes..with her whole being:heart:

Today, I pray, that even though life is tearing me up...

I have prayed for healing and not seen it go "my way"..

...That just today, I can have the faith that my daughter does in the Lord.

Sing About Your Sewing Machine, Lately?

You may have seen this... but it's a kick!

These Pictures Give Me Hope

I think this amazing beauty gives me hope when peace comes when a day is over..













And the stunning beauty makes me feel humbled and in awe of God's Creation. Days can be downright awful but when you see a sunset like this.. well hope is born again(at least for me)

Seth took these pictures 12-31-2007.. truly the end of a year.

enjoy :)

Incredible beauty and it's free no airbrushing, botox(can you tell I'm turning 40) .. just simple amazing beauty
