Steering


Last week I was invited to go to a Steering Meeting for my new Mops Group. We have this Lovely girl named Martha who is a Hospitality leader for our group and what's so wonderful about her is that every single meeting you know you are going to get a handmade little token of thanks for being there. Since my first meeting there I've always gotten a little treasure at my seat with words of wisdom attached. This single tulip with a simple verse attached is the exact kindness she shows to us every week. With the combination of this gesture and the yummy breakfast buffets and babysitting I'm set in Mops. I'm hoping I can find a way to use my love for the arts to contribute to my group as well because isn't true prosperity doing what you love to do. What God has given you the passion and the talent to do. I don't think you can feel more useful or prosperous unless you are doing exactly this.
This week in my Etsy shop!

New tag designs
Embroidered repurposed pouches



These cute pouches made from repurposed materials like children's clothing and pillowcases with cute details like embroidery and tulle mesh.

These Crepe paper Frill Trios are recycled packaging cardboard wrapped with my classic Crepe paper frills and satin ribbon. Finished off with an equisite silver German Glitter Glass star made by the wonderful MemrieMare

It's ALL so beautiful, but I love the embroidered heart pouches the most! So pretty! Tu for your sweet comment on the baby gifts :)...I know you can definitely make your own leg warmers but I have not yet tried it myself! Let me know if you do though - I'd love to hear how easy/hard it is! I'm so excited you're doing SO well -you deserve it! Talk soon!

Found you through Jenny Doh's blog. I was in MOPS 23 years ago, met some wonderful people. My favorite was the craft time, I still have the cross-stitched hearts with my sons names and birthdates. You will make some wonderful memories and your children will have a fun time too!
Love your blog!

Just read about you in The Artful Blogger and had to come visit. What a beautiful blog! I am very impressed that you are 23 years old, have three children under the age of four and are as creative as you are. I was not that together at 23, so you are doing a phenomenal job in my opinion. I'll be back to visit again. Your little girl is adorable!!!
