B. Crochet-tive Designs
Happy Mother’s Day! I want to share with you a wonderful mother and designer Brittany from B. Crochet-tive Designs I was so blessed to have gotten to do a pattern test for the amazing Brittany the master mind of B.Crochet-tive Designs.

Catching up and getting ready for changes.
Its basically summer here in Alabama, the temps are getting close to the high 80’s already and school will be out in a week for my kids. We are ready for summer and ready for the changes we will be participating in as a family. We are pulling our kids from public school and homeschooling them. I am beyond excited about this decision.

This is something the hubs and I talked about before and we just feel it…

The multi case from Amazon
Of you know me you know I am all about storage. I came across this adorable bird pencil (on the right) case on February 17, 2017 when I got my Prismacolor 132 count set. Now a year later I was scrolling through instagram and saw it being used as a DPN case! Genius! So naturally I ordered another one. This time I went with the adorable bear print on the left and from a different company. It was also $8 cheaper than my bird one so I was curious to see if there was a difference. The difference:The bird case that I can not longer find that exact print is a little better made. the fabric…

Do you have quiet time each day?
I am a firm believer in taking a few moments each day to gather your thoughts, quiet your mind and just to unwind. I tend to have two different “times” a day. There is what I call TAG “Time Alone With God” it is just being alone without distractions and reading a devotional passage. I also have a quiet time which is knitting, coloring anything to just ponder your thoughts and calm your mind. Both of these can even be seen as a form of meditation where you focus your energy on something positive. I like to mix my quiet time up and TAG time, some days just sit in completely quietness…
