Sunday, December 3, 2017. It was a weekend full of traditions in our home. From hiking out back to find the perfect little tree and adding the handmade ornaments my little man and I made when he was three, to the return of the Advent gnome and his scrolls, to the Advent spiral on our table and the beginning of the journey to Christmas day. As things quiet down a little bit for me with work, and the darkness descends as we move towards the darkest day, I find myself craving space and comfort.

Enjoying the little things in life. Another week, a little more knitting. But I still managed to make some progress and maybe next week will be my week. Hey, a girl can dream.

Family, Faith, Food and Fabric. 2 towns down, farms stayed farms and that makes me feel like I still live in the country. Then the real fun began. It is where we pick our pumpkins.

May you live all the days of your life. Women Who Make a Difference. Since being married, I have had the honor of getting to know one amazing women. This is my husbands grandmother. We call her Grandma Schiffer. She has watched so many others pass before her, and she still stands strong. Never complaining, always willing and always beautiful. Grandma Schiffer, you have been an amazing example in my life of strength, love and courage.

Moving out and moving across.

Quick and easy Sunflower snaps vegetarian childrens snack. Waldorf inspired birthday crown for a little girl.

Family fun at the village sheep fair. Punch and Judy puppet show. Little sweet things like this.
