Flash Back 2013! Year of Blessings

Hope you've had a great year! 

Our year has been full of blessings! Here's some highlights from 2013:

In April David quit his job, to pursue becoming a Network Engineer. After months of studying on his own and completing several exams, he landed a great entry level Networking job in October.

April - June we traveled 7,369 miles by car through 10 states,

7,369 Miles - Made It! Baby Rag Quilt

While on vacation this spring, I had so much fun making two baby rag quilts for some special little girls. I also made the girls matching elephants, which can be purchased from Doodlebug & Friends.

I found a Rag Quilt Tutorial on Beverlys.com that explained exactly what to do and vas very easy to follow. Both quilts were cut out and sewn together in about 6 hours. The tedious part for me was cutting the edges. These little quilts are super soft and warm. 

7,369 Miles - Sewing Projects

When traveling 7,369 Miles, 1 Month, 3 Weeks, 4 Days, 10 States, with 1 Suitcase, 1 Duffle Bag, a Toddler and an iPod you may need to sew something. I'd suggest just packing an emergency sewing kit, but in my case, I packed my sewing machine, a bag full of fabric, cutting board, notions and a bunch of patterns. 

David's family was very gracious to allow me to turn their dinning room into a sewing room while we were visiting and I had a blast being creative!

The first thing I sewed was Caden's shorts, the seam fell apart in the wash!

Next on my to do list was make these adorable elephants from Retro Mama.

Family! Coming Soon

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy, blessed, and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them! Psalm 127:3-5

Family! Fabulous Twos!

Our Caden is TWO! He a joy to our family and is quick to bring a smile to those around us.

It's really difficult to sum up the last year in just a few words.

Caden is very kind, generous and compassionate towards others.

He has a silly sense of humor (like Daddy), loves to play with trains, cars, trucks, puppies, pretends to be a cowboy (like Uncle Coco) and even helps Mommy with her sewing projects, by cuddling all the little stuffed animals I make.
