instafriday #6



we had our last football game last week. lost in the semi-finals :( 
but this little one still had a blast, and no idea that we lost. that made daddy happy.


saturday i made two wreaths. one for the door and one for the entry wall. 
i love when i start and finish projects in a just a few hours. 
it makes me feel so accomplished.



wrapped a few gifts...

made a few hoops
[2 of those are on their way right now to a lucky friend who doesn't even know it. surprise!]
you can buy your own here

how cute is this packaging? i love doilies and yarn.

she is obsessed with trains. i think i've mentioned that a few times on here

best cookies ever. recipe from here 
[although i switched out the cranberries for walnuts. i don't love fruit in my cookies]

and, last but not least, finishing up some hoops for danielle. 
they'll be shipping out today 
[finally! she's been sooo patient with me]
check out the progress on her baby's room.
these are going to look so cute, huh?
yet again, a shameless link to the shop,
if you want to buy your own :)

don't forget to check out my "suggested reading" for the weekend.
until Monday, my friends!

instafriday #22

ahhh, it feels good to be back. it's been a long time since i've dumped my insta-photos on you!  so here we go: my mug swap arrived :) it is so cute, and honestly, this is exactly the kind of reminder i need in the morning. the baby has been waking up at 5:30. it's still dark out. and she doesn't go back to sleep after her bottle :( i need to see it as an opportunity to be thankful, spend time with the Lord, and rejoice...  instead of stumble and groan and wish for more sleep. i'm making a bunch of these cute headbands this weekend.  hoping to have them for sale next week.  aren't they cute? and super-fallish.  i've never been one to pay too much attention to the trends,  or the pantone fashion colors [because honestly i don't have the money. or desire.]  but i do see some tangerine tango and bright chartreuse in these ;) for each grandchild, my husband's family has an ice-cream party tradition at their 6-month b...
