A Call To Prayer, Not Resolutions
Can you believe it, the beginning of another New Year is only a few days away! During this time, many will begin making their “new year’s resolutions”. I am not opposed to putting together such a list. However, my commitment to it has never stuck past the first 3 weeks (if that!). Sad, I know. [...]
Handmade Crochet Scarf
This is soooo awesome! LOL. About two months ago, my good friend Rachelle sat me down one Sunday afternoon while we were over at their house and taught me how to crochet. I tried crocheting once before, but couldn’t even crochet a straight row (LOL). So I had just resigned myself to thinking I was [...]
GF Chocolate Chip Cookies
Over the weekend, I found a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe that I could not resist trying. I substituted the sugar with coconut sugar and rapadura. Not bad! My first batch of cookies came out really thin. My second batch (above image) was much better, but I still would’ve liked it a little thicker. I used [...]
Dishwasher fiasco
I learned a big lesson today with my dishwasher…. Do NOT use draino in it! :D Our dishwasher was not draining well for the past couple of months. So, I had the idea about using draino to try to fix it. Our filter and screen inside it was sooooooo utterly dirty, black, and MOLDY that [...]
Our first Garlic!
Who loves garlic?? We do, we do! As a matter of fact, we tried to grow garlic in our garden for the first time this past fall. My dh planted some garlic cloves in October, just to see what would happen. Well, after 7 months of growing (yes, 7 months!), our garlic has finally been [...]
Water Heater drama
Okay, so…. Yesterday was going along quite uneventfully when my hubby came home from work around 5pm to find a ton of water from our water heater leaking all over our garage. Lovely. In the photo below, you can see the residue of the water on our garage floor. Beautiful looking, isn’t it? :) Soli Deo [...]
New Commitments & Re-Focus
Wow, I cannot believe it’s been 6 weeks since my last post! Life continues to go on at an ever quickening rate! Well, I am pressing on, by the grace of God. :) A lot is happening, both exciting and challenging. I am excited at the work the Lord is doing in our lives! So what have I [...]

Check it out when you get a chance. The main website is not designed yet as I am waiting to get some portfolios [...]
My Sewing Project – Complete!
Woo-hoo!! I finally finished sewing my renaissance costume this afternoon. It only took me two months to complete it. LOL! But at least I finished early – 1 week early, as a matter of fact! As impatient as I was with it at times, I must say it was worth doing. I learned a lot of new [...]
Latest Sewing Project
I’m sewing!! Yes, it’s really true. I can’t believe it myself. As a matter of fact, I think this is my first “sewing” post ever. It’s been ages since my last sewing project and I wanted to show pictures of my pattern and fabric with you all. I’m sewing a renaissance-style costume for a Reformation Day celebration with [...]
