Just as we are

Thank you all so much for your kind words and heartfelt stories of similar experiences.  I was questioning whether or not to post such a personal story, but really, it took such a weight off me just getting the words out on paper.  That honesty stuff is refreshing!  I need to let myself write more about the not so positive times, which will in turn help me to cherish the great times.

So to follow up, here is a post of great randomness. 

Love and Positivity with life, right now.

Just as we are.

Up first: Homemade dolls made for our nieces and nephew as they welcomed the new twins into their home.

The first doll i made still sits in my craft room, basically a demo and trial run. 

The next three were made in one weekend with the help of my mom!  From left to right:

Pinkalicious, Goldie & miss no-name.

London, Keira & Isabel named them and have already requested "friends" for their birthdays :)

And let me tell you, stringing and stitching yarn hair for hours on end requires a nice glass of red to accompany the operation.

For mister Jack-  a monster of sorts.  Whose eye fell off within an hour of playing. 

That may require a re-design.

With a pointy tail :)

Up second: Some moments captured over that past few months that make me smile.

Charlie & mama jaunts in the woods while boiling.

 Valentine's Day Tulips <3

Heavy February snow storms leaving blankets of fluffy snow.

The "please drop some veggies on the floor" stare as i make our nightly salads.

Early morning sunrises that make getting up early so worth it.

We’re headed to VT this weekend to celebrate Easter with my parents. 

I can’t wait to get back on Jerusalem road. 

Happy Weekend!
