crazy cool

so just the other day while strolling our local fabric store for fabric 

for a project to make baby blankets for the newest member of our immediate family who is soon to arrive

I found a wonderful native pattern knit that I just had to create something with

a dress, a skirt, an infinity scarf

well, I put the final stitch in the last of the scarves just 2 days ago

and last night while clicking around and enjoying the interior space inspiration on apartment therapy

I found a, very close to identical, scarf hanging on this lovely ladies rack of accessories

I mean how crazy cool is that...

only a couple scarves available right now

if your local to our area come and shop our selection of one-of-a-kind gifts

at bayouBAZAAR this Friday 6pm-9pm

wise and free

two years ago today

 we were blessed with Sage Francis being born into our family

only minutes new

I mentioned earlier this month my like of names and their meanings

through my search while growing him in my belly I found

Sage means wise man and wisdom (and of course the herb)

Francis means from France and also free

Sage Francis = wise and free

yet again it fascinates me to see my baby actually be what his name means

he is strong beyond 2 years

he is brave and excited to conquer the unrealistic for his age

he likes to be free from the walls of inside to enjoy the freedom of the outdoors

while he also likes to be free from fences and barriers which is quite a challenge for a mother

he is an early riser who seems eager to work with his hands and big tools

he likes to climb, dig in the dirt and give kisses

he is our very special little boy who keeps us on our toes 

heading home for the very first time 

and you can tell he does not like being 'un' free by being strapped in

 

when he reminded us of charlie brown (from certain angles)

he still loves ANY time with his Paw Paw

>>> may he grow to be a wise man who makes mindful decisions <<<

to infinity

'where children sleep'

I just bought a copy for my children

in hopes their eyes may open to appreciate the goodness that surrounds them everyday

seeing the common comforts they often take for granted other little ones may never know

studio space

today...

pretty clutter

THANKSgiving day

has come and gone 

lets remember to be thankful each and every day

sharing childhood memories with the next generation

fresh from the garden

a walk in the garden

all the men gather

innocent play in the country

the family gathered in the orchard to handpick citrus

>>> I am thankFULL for my life 

my home, my children, my husband, my special family both blood and in-laws and my dear friends <<<

Life is not always easy lyrics by Clinton Fearon

Life is not always easy
I and I know say
We've been given the tools
To make it what we will
No need to lose our cool
We all shall get our fill
There's no other way
So it was from the start
Try as we may
We can't erase the past so

Let's give thanks and praises praises
For every little thing
Give thanks and praises praises
Oh sing
Give thanks and praises praises
For every little thing
Give thanks and praises praises
Open up your heart
To the blessings that flow in the morning
Open up your heart
To the blessings that flow in the evening
Cherish good thoughts
For your brother your sister your neighbor
Even your worst enemy
Don't say no don't say no
