on contentment

August 19, 2014

Contentment is one of those things that you never really master, is it? It seems to come and go. Right now I’m searching for it. There has been a lot written on the internet about fighting comparison. Sure I deal with that from time to time: wanting my life to look a little more like hers, wishing my blog was as successful as that one or that I had the resources to pull off that project. I’m searching my heart, though, and I think that I’m being truthful when I say that I don’t really play the comparison game too much.

liam’s stocking

August 13, 2014

Liam’s stocking is done! This kit is called Snowman Games by Bucilla. None of their kits are particularly “simple” but this one seemed to be much easier and faster than the one I made for my niece last year.

So if you are a beginner and you want to try it out, I do recommend this one! Next on my crafting plan is finishing the quilt I’ve been working on forever, and then I’m moving on to this advent calendar!
