Ramblings of a Christian Mom
As some of you might have noticed from my Facebook posts, I've been thinking of switching to cloth diapers. Since I stay at home and I don't bring in much of an income (really just a few dollars here and there from my Etsy shop or blog income) I try to save money where I can. Sometimes I manage to do this, other times I can give in to temptation [More...]
I've had a sewing bug lately. I seem to go through hobby phases; for a while I'll want to read at every opportunity, then for a while I'll want to bake, or crochet, etc. Lately I've been wanting to sew. In the past week or so I've made myself a little fabric key chain. I made Josiah a cute plush sailboat for his upcoming birthday. I've started a [More...]
Need a few last minute gifts? Do you have 15 minutes? Make some rice-filled hand warmers! All you need is some scraps of fabric (for one pair of hand warmers, you need 4 pieces about 3.5 by 4 inches), some rice, and some thread.

Another dress I made out of a long sleeved t-shirt that I didn't wear [More...]
I love Pinterest. Have I mentioned that before? Not long ago I saw yet another pin that I had to try. And here is the result! I used a tutorial from the site Make it and Love it. I made the dress while Annie was napping, and discovered when she woke up that I'd made the neck too tight, but I was able to fix this by cutting a short slit [More...]
I've wanted to learn to crochet for a long time. Actually, to relearn. My mom taught me a bit when I was very young, but I never held onto it. I kept procrastinating, thinking that I didn't have the time to learn and practice. Then I saw a tutorial on Pinterest (Yep..good ol' Pinterest again. Is there a Pinterest Anonymous? I think I might [More...]
I saw this idea on Pinterest, and thought it looked great. And it turned out to be super simple! All you need is some tissue paper, tape, modge podge (I make my own), regular paper, a printer, and a canvas. First, pick a picture that you want to use. Since we only have a black and white printer, I had to make mine black and [More...]
