Christmastime Crafts

It's not really a secret, but I am wanna-be, hard-core seamstress.  I'm self-taught so I certainly don't profess to be great at it, but I do profess to love it.  Obviously, time is my main deterrent.  However, a few weeks ago, I dusted off my sewing machine and loved hearing the roar of it, once again. 

 

I am a bit of a one trick pony, but I did branch out a little this time.  Here are a couple of things I've been working on.

 

So far, I've only made stuff for my girls.  But that's okay, because everything looks so cute on them!

New Girl in Town

On November 17, our family welcomed it's newest member. My brother Jake, married his love, Ember McKinney Rydell.

 

 

 

It was a very sweet day and several members of my family also got to be a part of it.

 

Robert was one of Jake's groomsmen and Maia and Josie were sign carrier and flower girl. Too cute!

 

 

I'm very proud of my "little" brother, who serves our country in the United States Army. It's exciting to have a new sister, too!  I'm praying as they begin this new marriage, they'll always look to the One who brought them together by keeping Him first, and always be mold-able to His will in their marriage.

 

 

Much love and congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Jake Rydell!
