What are we up to?


Yesterday we left the house for a while to play at a local park. Today we didn't leave the house until time for gymnastics. In fact, M spent most of the day in her pj's.
So, you're wondering...what's the picture? Well, I bought that sweet little DRESS at the consignment sale. It was monogrammed with another little girl's name and when I was taking out the monogram, I slit the dress. So today, I hemmed it and made those super cute pants to coordinate. The best part is those pants will also go with another little top I have planned for the fall wardrobe.
Please continue to pray for us. There are good moments, but there are also times of a lot of darkness. The busier I am, the less time I have to think, but I don't always want to be busy. Sometimes, I just want to sit and think and feel. I'm so thankful that my coworkers and principal saw the need for a whole week off. I'm not ready to go back to work yet. I'm so thankful that I have M. H is extremely supportive and working through this in his own way: building us a deck and a new fence.

WOW-I am always so impressed by your domestic side, since I, myself, do not have one! It will take some time, maybe a lot of time, and you do need to be able to sit still and rest and grieve...Prayers are being lifted for you so often- for you and H. I am extremely thankful that you took the week off...THE best decision. Do not hurry yourself through this. Know that you are SO loved. We are ALL here for you, my friend. I love you.

What she said! Just popping in to keep an eye on you. Love your sewing! Very cute!! A bit more practical than the endless gypsy vests and trousers I have been making for the Musical!!! :-)

That is the cutest little outfit! You've got some real talent with needle on thread...I can't sew a seam to save my life. LOL. M will be one stylin' little girl this fall.

I'm glad you're taking the week off and giving yourself the room to grieve and heal. Hugs and prayers.
