Paper
I love paper. I have all these old books and cool papers and never know what to do with them. I found this old piano book at the thrift store the other day and thought..... Why not? As crafty as it might be....

Sewing for Jovi
I went out on a limb this Christmas break and spent some quality time with my sewing machine. After finishing an apron I was making for a friend of mine for Christmas, which turned out quite well I might add, I was still feeling the itch and need to continue to create. I then remembered the wonderful pattern for a sewn soft stuffed ball I had on the back shelf and thought.... Why not?
My first niece was born last June and thought she would like this.... as much as a 6th month old likes anything that is not food. So I gave it a go! I am not going to lie, it was tricky and I had to get my seam ripper out more than I had wanted, but In the end I think it is just wonderful. Complete with a homemade rattle inside.
Need less to say I had a great time making this.

Take Me Home
My ranking: 4 out of 5 stars
Just watched a beautiful Indie move about family, life, and figuring out your priorities.
I have always loved stories, so naturally I watch a lot of movies. The best ones to me are the stories about evaluating you current mindset or situation and taking a leap of faith to make a much needed change in one's life. I have done this several times in my 26 years and each time while in the process , I second guessed myself, worried that I was letting someone down, and was plain old scared. What I have learned from these experiences is that in hind-sight, it was always in God's plan. What it comes down to is that sometimes we have to make tough decisions, but we are better in the end because of them. I have tried hard to stop worrying if someone else is judging me and tried to focus on the things I know are right for me.
This movie is about overcoming the boundaries that we put on ourselves based on who and what we know, and just doing the things we know are right. Beautiful.
