Inside Out?

I only realized I'm an auditory learner about a year ago. How could I have missed this obvious bit about myself?

Last year I went to a Christmas eve candlelight service and I was so moved by one of the readings. It was touching and challenging and I found myself giggling through a few tears. I tracked down the source and purchased the book this year. The poem also inspired my latest sewing project.


Nesting baskets for my secret santa. I designed a set of three but only had time to complete two.
It is reversible, to symbolize how the inside and outside touch one other, and how one can easily become the other.

22 Month Schedule



A day in the life of a 22 month old and her crazy mama.

We wake up between 7am to 8am, when Edie cries for me. I get her and she nurses for a few minutes in mom and dad's bed, then I get the hot soy milk in a bottle. While she's drinking I get ready, then Kel takes over to get her ready. I make breakfast and we eat every breakfast together. After Kel leaves for work, I get changed and clean up a little. Edie and I head out for an activity around 9.

Chris

This is my friend Chris. To me, she is adventurous, knows what she wants, and has a big pulsing heart. As you will see, she had a big belly at one point too. Last winter, her expanding family came for short (but sweet) visit. We don't see each other often, but whenever we get together, we always laugh too loud, cry too much, and eat a lot. I am thankful for my beautiful friend. P.S. A healthy baby girl was born in May. Yes...I'm slow!
