I will never be shaken

We have quite a bit going on right now, with a 7 month old and a 2.5 year old I'm pretty busy already, and then add that we are getting ready for several moves this summer before our final move into our new home hopefully sometime around August, I definitely feel that we have a lot going on. 

So it's important that I remember to find time to meet with God, so that I can keep my cool during all of this (and my family can testify that it's not a pretty sight when I don't :))

In my quiet time this morning I came upon Psalm 62 TNIV:

1 Truly my soul finds rest in God;
   my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
   he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

Here is another frilly soft blanket that I made for a sweet little baby named Callie.



I forgot to take a picture of the soft back but it was soft and white. :)
My prayer today is that I always find rest in God, and I praise him for ALWAYS being my rock, and salvation. And, as scary as it is to say out loud.. I pray that will NEVER be shaken.... And I pray that for you too. xoxo

Finding my own way


      At a baby shower this last weekend I realized that it had been exactly one year since sewing my first blanket! What an exciting year.


     Sewing has been such a fun journey for me. I feel so blessed that I am able to thrive creatively by sewing.  My heart is continually blessed by this opportunity to show my love by making gifts for people.

My first ruffle, not too shabby! :)



loving the stitching on my fashion mate singer sewing machine.
    
     The blanket shown here was a gift to a sweet little baby girl named Emmerson Rose. This was a very exciting project for me, because I really branched out from the style of blankets that I have previously been making and put together my own pattern. Quilted top, snugly bottom, and romantic ruffle.  There are many more of these to come! Enjoy. xoxo
