I'm in Love!


Here are just a few things I can't keep my eyes off of these days!  




I love the brightly colored bag, the gold watch and bangles...The printed mini-skirt is just perfect Portland wear!


Decorating our place has been weighing on me for quite some time, these are a few things I've been loving from pinterest, you can find them on my pinterest boards.

In other news, we sold my good ol' Subaru.  She was a great car, I had her for 5 whole years (and put thousands of dollars towards her!).  We are excited to have sold her for a little extra cash, which we promptly put towards some debt..and a bit of shopping :).  Since I've been working downtown we officially decided we were going to sell her, I was driving her MAYBE one day a week, and it just wasn't worth the $200 car payment anymore.  Now we will be able to put that extra $200 a month towards the rest of our debt and hopefully be debt free within the year!  

My stash of homemade knitted baby blankets is growing steadily!  I've got 5 on hand, although as soon as my pastor and his wife have their baby, I will have one less!  So I'm steadily building my 'resume' and can't wait to try to do something more with them!  

What have you been up to this month?

to live is Christ, to die is gain.

The apostle Paul wrote those words in Philippians 1:21...God did some miraculous work thru Paul didn't he!? After Paul saw the light (literally) he traveled to Judea, Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Pamphylia, Asia, Macedonia, Achaia and Italy. WOW. I've shared God's word....via skype to my bestie Nicole and...uhhh..shoot. What am I doing?! Yikes, I'm so ready to go, to tell of God's glory, to "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:2) Its convicting to know that I really haven't done as much as I could be doing, if I died, I have no doubt I would meet Jesus, my Lord and Savior would know my heart and how much I love Him and my willingness and readiness to share Him with the world..but I also know He will stand before me and say, Look at what you could have had, if only you had come to me sooner, done My work rather than yours. In one of my earlier posts I had writ...

Weekend

This weekend M and I got to go to Portland and spend some time with my sister and her family. She has two little boys and one on the way, so every second has noise/crying/laughter. Joellen and I got to spend some time away (went to the mall) which was a perfect break from chaos. I did get quite a bit of knitting done and was able to post some new stuff up on my Etsy shop ! I also got three custom orders (yay!!). If you see anything on my site you like but are interested in a different size, color or color combos just let me know! Here is a peek of my new product!
