If You Insist

I’m certain that if it was in my power–

to hold them still and keep them in this time and space…

I would be tempted to do it–for a while longer, at least.

Until I get my fill of the hugs and kisses and baby talk and lost shoes and favorite blankies and all-fall-downs and made up words and ants-go-marching and wrong side outs–that are the way of these little people. The things that tuck them straight into my grammie-heart for safe keeping.

Maybe I could just let them know when I’m finished with it all.

Because seriously…

no matter what Lily or the candles say~

they still get to be my babies…

for a while yet.

Just a Hint…

of the fabric frenzy going on around here. Oh, the thread is really flying…

and you know I can never keep secrets to myself.

This little project was suppose to be a surprise for the babies birthdays–Chompy’s 2nd, and Lily and Beck’s 3rd.

But I guess I’m having too much fun sewing, stuffing, cutting…

tacking, stitching, embellishing…

buttoning, strapping, ziz-zagging…

(never mind wanting to play with all this cuteness myself–sheesh!)

to stop and actually give the presents to those sweet patient little souls.

Hopefully, by the end of the week, I’ll show you the finished projects.

And if the babies are lucky–they may just get them before…

high school…

perhaps.

heh.

{ The Light of Belief }

Brothers and sisters, you may already know, deep in your soul, that God lives. You may not know all about Him yet and do not understand all His ways, but the light of belief is within you, waiting to be awakened and intensified by the Spirit of God and the Light of Christ, which you are born with. ”

– Elder Robert D. Hales

Parting With the Tree

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 winter weekend my friends!

Steamed Pudding Mold…

Winner!!

Maude!!

Maude says:

“When I showed some co workers these pictures, they voted for me to make it for another co worker’s wedding shower next Thursday. I’ll be improvising with the pan unless I get one before next Wednesday. (Is that a broad enough hint?)”
This was sooo fun, that I want to do it again. Besides, I found an amazing recipe for “Steamed Lemon Pudding,” and still on the lookout for a Key Lime…
Stay tuned my friends–thanks for entering!
