held
A few months ago in church, I saw a picture from God. As I began to pray I saw him pull me into his lap the way one does with a child, and as he cradled me in his arms, he asked “What is it? Tell me.” I felt at peace. The picture of love, […]
she’s baaaaaack!
I had a dream recently that Alice came back and while it was super realistic I didn’t think it could happen. This morning she walked through the dog door meowing for attention and went straight to her spot in the closet like nothing had happened…5 months later. Her collar and tag are still on and […]
health update – 2018 edition
Hello friends! Welcome back to the crazy saga that is my health. A while ago my mother quipped that I talk about my body like it’s my temperamental toddler and all I could say was eh, that’s accurate…I just try to contain the crazy! Some of you might have seen the post from last year […]
foster kittens round 2
After our foray into fostering last fall, I decided (with the enthusiastic encouragement of my husband, who loves cats) to do it again. I filled out the volunteer application form on my phone while waiting in an airport and within a week and a half found myself with a litter…and then a week later with […]
emergency trip to the vet
We were scared to death for our precious girl on Tuesday, she got stuck in the top of the garage door and we didn’t hear her. 😿 (Pro tip, don’t Google this unless you want to be slightly traumatized.) She was out there for about 15 minutes until some kind neighbors knocked on our door […]
Ask Us Anything…Adults with CH
Hello! Since January I’ve been a part of some Congential Hypothyroidism Support groups but found that most of the members were moms who had questions about their kids. Soon after we started a separate group only for adults with the disorder and found that we were all seeing similar questions from moms with little kids. […]
a gift for ollie
Oliver was born a week ago and I wanted to give him a custom knit item! I had originally planned to give him a finished item, but after looking at it again it wasn’t quite right. (Perfectionism at its finest.) I knew that babies often scratch their faces accidentally so I figured that newborn mitts […]
2017
{2017 Best Nine from Instagram} Chunky cables and colorwork were favorites this year…thank YOU all for your support, whether you made a purchase of an item or pattern, were a tester, told a friend or liked/commented on photos! 2017 was a mixed bag of both blessings and heartache- we moved into our first house, added […]
learning new things
You guys. Sorry I’ve been practically non-existent these past few months. I wanted to pop in and share a weird little thing I made today…I’m in the process of learning Adobe Illustrator and this is pretty much how I feel about it. Anyway, hope you’ve had a good week and enjoyed this random little blurb!
summer favorites 2017
Hello! It’s been a hot second (summer?) since I wrote on anything beyond a paragraph AT ALL, so the monthly favorites that happened throughout the spring are now being encompassed into a full season…in no particular order. Revolution Artisan Pops When you’re on a pretty restrictive diet like I currently am, any sort of cold […]
