May. 30, 2008 Is Your Home a Ministry to Visitors?
I like to "dress" my home in a manner that tells the world I am a Christian as well as shares what my priorities in life are.
Not only is this a ministry in and of itself to others who stop by, it blesses you!
For example, when I pass by a particular plaque with a strengthening verse, I am encouraged in my faith! I am reminded to be at rest, and peaceful. God has everything under control.
Here are some simple, yet beautiful, reminders for your own home.
Please note, shipping for any number of items, below, up to $99 to one address is approximately $9 shipping.

If you're anything like me, depictions of Jesus held fast to the cross he was sacrificed on are uncomfortable to view.
I want to remember His rising. His victory.
I do not like to think of his pain, agony, sore mistreatment and death.
However, this is a particularly important thing to remember day to day. I am a sinner. I did not deserve what Jesus did for me.
Somehow, seeing this piece, reminds me of the magnitude of what was done for me.
Discomfort is good. It keeps me from taking my salvation for granted in any way, shape or form!
A spun glass figure depicting Jesus at the moment of His ultimate sacrifice glows with a brilliant inner light. |

A jubilant field of colorful tiles surrounds a bejewled central message: Proverbs 31:10 - "A woman of Noble Character; She is worth far more than precious rubies".
Are YOU a woman of noble character?
As women, we want to bless God with our behavior. Just seeing this motif is a helpful reminder as you go through your day to be what God wants you to be.
It's convicting to be snapping at your child or grumbling over submitting to your husband... and have your eyes light upon this verse! Believe me!

The gracefully flowing, heart-shaped wings of a tender guardian angel form a protective shield for a young family in this elegant sculpture.
Something about the smoothness of this is so absolutely beautiful to me.

The everlasting bond between siblings is charmingly rendered in this exquisite tabletop fountain. Sister gives little brother a helping hand to view the sparkling stream that flows from the rose-adorned fountain.
Isn't this what we all want our children to portray? Selfless giving?
Such work reminds me of my mission as a mother, and tells the world of the importance I place on the blessing of children!
This is my oldest daughter's favorite! |

May. 17, 2008 Bobby Pins
I have a variety of bobby pins in stock for the woman who wants to pull her hair back neatly, and/or secure a covering on her head to prevent slipping:
Color assorted: Black
48 pins/pack
$1.50
Assorted bobby pins, embellished, are a nice alternative for securing the veiling. They are feminine and when worn on the covering are much less "showy" than what you would think!
I am wearing the Floral AB Crystal Bobby (listed below) in this picture:
They're just enough to make you feel extra feminine, but modest enough not to attract attention.
For those who have long hair, they are nice to help pull everything back neatly.
2" long
$4.50/pair
YOUR CHOICE COLOR. Submit preference when paying.
Styles available:
Butterfly
Faux Pearl
Floral AB Crystal Bobby
Pearl and Rhinestone Bobby
Floral
Flower Garden
Perfectly Feminine
Silver Setoff

May. 16, 2008 Adorable Baby Pattern - Round Yoke
This is the pattern I used while sewing my daughter Rebekah's dress on How I Love Thee blog's, The Birth of a Dress... PART 1, The Birth of a Dress - PART 2, and The Birth of a Dress - PART 3.
You might also like to take a look at The Birth of a Dress - A POSTPARTUM GLIMPSE to see the finished product.
The original pattern I bought was $16, and I found it didn't suit in certain ways to our needs.
This sale is for my "tweaked" version, that I've perfected and traced off just for you!
This pattern uses less fabric than the original called for, and is much easier to construct!
You'll find it is super easy to get from start to finish with this little dress, even though it is sewn differently from a dress utilizing a "regular bodice".
There are no zippers, just a simple 3-button (or snap) closure in back.
Adorable!
Sized for Newborn through 18 mths.
$7.00
When paying through PAYPAL, simply let me know what size you desire!

May. 16, 2008 Hair Tool ~ Hairdini2
I came across this product quite by accident, and use it daily for my 7-year-old.
It keeps her hair neat, and in a bun ALL DAY LONG despite her tendency toward HARD play!
I used to put her hair in braids, but it was constantly in her face. My husband likes the 7-year-old's hair in a bun, and I did that for a while... but then the pins would slowly get lost, falling out without us knowing and mysteriously disappearing...
This has solved the "neat hair" dilemma for us!
Also, it's proven very, very helpful for myself and others who wear a veiling, or simply want their hair up to keep cool.
With one simple little product and a little experimentation, other hair arrangements can be made as well.
For example, the following one is neat, and also fits well underneath a covering.
The tool is bendable like wire, but cushioned and fabric covered for comfort.
Once the hair is "rolled", all you need to do is bend the ends upward, and cover the ends with your hair.
That's IT!
I cannot stress enough how excellent this tool is!
Get yours today! It will save you oodles of time!
No more fussing with hair! Put it up in the morning, and it will last all day long!
