 (above is a photograph of my father(left) and me(right) - He was about 15 years old and I was only about 3 years old, 
I'm amazed at how much we really do look alike!)

This week, I'm grateful for...

* A wonderful Christmas with my family. Hectic, but still wonderful
* Family coming to visit! It's always a good time. 
* Music! 
* Cuddles with my children.
* Nights spent watching good movies! 
* Delicious home brewed beer! 
* Fun times playing our favorite game, Acey-Deucey!
* Seeing sunshine & rain. 
* And as always, God! 

Wishing everyone a happy week and New Year!!!!

Happenings.

My littlest child has a birthday coming up. His first. I decided to make my very first birthday crown for his special day. I am really pleased with how it came out. I found lots of inspiration on Pinterest and from there came up with my own pattern. It came out so well in fact that I think they might be making an appearance in the shop soon! 






















-I've also started to learn to knit! I am very excited about this. It has proven to be a little challenging for me, but I'm keeping at it. My skills do not go beyond a scarf, but that's okay. 

-Yesterday I made the best coffee cake ever! It was so moist and sweet! Just perfect. 

-With the little one's being sick lately, It's time to make up a batch of Elderberry Syrup

Until next time, 
Kellie

Gratitude Sunday (2nd week of Advent)

           Today I'm joining Taryn over at Wooly Moss Roots for Gratitude*Sunday



In Taryn's words: :
G r a t i t u d e * S u n d a y
"{Sunday's heartfelt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful. A list of gratitudes.}"
This week, I'm thankful for...
  • Being alive! 
  • Using my talents to help bring joy to people's lives
  • Extra time to sleep
  • Getting a little Nativity scene for our season/nature table
  • My camera (even though I wish I had a much better one, I am so glad I at least have the one
    I have!)
  • My husband. He's my rock.
  • My cooking abilities. It comes in handy when there is "no food" in the house and I have to get creative!
  • Christmas decorations! 
  • Clean laundry
  • Sweet cuddles from my little ones. 
  • Finding my winter shoes that were packed away and thought to most definitely be lost.
  • Reading books to my children. (even if I don't always have their attention)
  • Having frozen homemade cookie dough on hand when the kids are wanting something sweet and I don't have the time (or energy) to cook.
  • Most importantly, God! (Happy 2nd week of Advent!)

Gratitude Sunday (Happy First Week Of Advent!)

                      Today I'm joining Taryn over at Wooly Moss Roots for Gratitude*Sunday

"{Sunday's heartfelt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful. A list of gratitudes.}"
Lately I've been thankful for...

  • Christmas music! I'm one of those "Get the Christmas music playing before it's even Thanksgiving" type of people. 
  • Finding time to create a few things for my shop.
  • Watching my littlest grow and learn new things everyday.
  • Being able to talk about the things that weigh heavy on my mind to certain people without feeling judgement.
  • Support from my family in so many ways.
  • The start of the Advent season!
  • Memories. Sweet memories.
  • My Children, they drive me crazy, but I still love em'. 
  • My husband, for putting up with my crazy. 
  • Food. Specifically a simple pot of beans and cornbread. Is there anything that is so simple and tasty? I didn't think so.
  • Above all, I am thankful for God. Not sure if I know where I would be without him.
