It would be fun to log in and show you all the fun and awesome things that we did over the weekend, but, ehhh…in case you missed it earlier, Parker was sick. That meant we didn’t have a lot of fun was going on over here. But it’s ok. I’m so thankful to be able to take care of my little ones when they are feeling icky that it’s perfectly fine with me when we don’t have a much to show for it outwardly. Cause really, my heart is full even if my camera isn’t.

And if you aren’t sure why else my heart is full, read here {and see below}. My shop isn’t very well stocked {and I have lots of $5 earrings} so I was thrilled to raise over $100 on Thursday and Friday! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!

Honestly, I don’t think that I’ve kept it a secret that I don’t really love spending hours at my sewing machine. I DO love spending hours right here on my computer connecting with people, writing, designing, dreaming, and being smitten with awesome fabric. But the mechanics of sewing? Meh. I could walk away from the shop and not regret it.

Only, I think that it’s a tool to do good. It’s a tool to help people by providing them with something joy-full and heartfelt and to give them a little incentive to give. I do know that I want my efforts and endeavors to matter.

My voice, my time, my influence– YOUR voice, YOUR time, YOUR influence. They matter a whole stinkin’ crazy lot!

I really don’t know what the shop will look like in the days to come. I have a feeling that I won’t be custom making clothing in my little shop for too much longer. I would very much prefer to move my shop over to this site soon anyway {as you might’ve noticed, we’re playing with making that happen, but we hit a little glitch with the checkout. It’s on my to-do list. Really.}.Until then, I’m taking this journey moment by moment and letting the chips fall where they may.

So I just hijacked my own post with random thoughts, but I must’ve needed to get that out there. If you stick with me, I promise to do my best to make a difference in the world. Whether it’s for one person or for many, my faith couldn’t seem to expect anything less and my heart couldn’t imagine being a Christ-follower without setting off on my own personal journey to be the hands-and-feet of love and compassion to a hurting world.
