“I think a man’s duty is to find out where the truth is, or if he cannot, at least to take the best possible human doctrine and the hardest to disprove, and to ride on this like a raft over the waters of life”

This Moment…
A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from our lives.
A simple, special, memorable moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and keep close to my heart.
If you are inspired to do the same–leave us a link in the comments.
Happy weekend everyone.
Baby Cave Dweller
I read once that if an adult tried to follow a toddler around and mimic all of the things that they do…
in one 12 hour period, that the grown-up would only last about 45 minutes…
then drop into an exhausted heap on the floor panting and gasping for air. Oh, I believe it all right.
Our little pixie is flitting from one thing to another at positively lightening speed–but what I don’t get is…
how do they fit all that energy into so many tight little spaces?
Never mind.

The Missing Leprechaun
Sure am missing this particular not so “little person.” Feeling rather lucky to have him in our lives. :]
I’ve been asked by several people about the Crocheted Leprechaun Hat and Beard–from last year— so I thought I’d give you a close-up.
I’m working on the pattern–which is an profound struggle for me–but it’s coming along.
Thanks for your patience my friends.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone. Go eat some Lucky Charms…or corned beef…or green eggs and ham. Whatever…
:: Quilts For Japan ::
Earthquake, tsunami, radiation, and now…
record cold temperatures and snow.
Utah Friends and family:
The LDS Church Humanitarian Center has put out an “immediate need” request for twin and full sized quilts to help those suffering in the aftermath of the disaster and now extreme temperatures.
In an effort to aid those suffering in Japan, we have scheduled a Orem church building this Saturday to tie quilts–as many quilts as possible. If you have any time at all this Saturday, please consider coming–even for an hour.
If you have flannel, fleece, sheets, yarn, or batting, that you’re willing to donate–it would help so much. We will also have a giveaway there as an added incentive–as if the cookies and good “servicey” feelings aren’t enough! :}
Those who live outside Utah, I know you can’t come, but could you pass this to anyone who would be willing to help in UT?
Saturday, March 19th
8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
1075 W 1100 N (church building)
Orem, UT
Please pass this on to anyone you can~friends, family, coworkers, etc.
If you know quilt or fabric shop owners (or avid quilters with a huge stash!) who would be willing to donate fabric or batting, please ask them.
This is obviously short notice, but also an easy thing we can do to give service and help our sweet brothers and sisters in devastated Japan. This would be a great opportunity to teach older children about the power of timely service–even when it might be a little inconvenient.
For more information, and a link to pass to friends, please go to April’s blog, here or the local Relief Society blog, here or email Launi@GraciousRain.com.
Thank you- thank you–from the bottom of our hearts!
Launi, April, Lyndi, Jillian and Dane
