Blogging Is A Funny Thing...

WOW!

I was defiantly not expecting to get over 150 views on my little blog post!

I've been thinking about it all week, and I've decided that a blog is a funny thing. It's essentially an online diary that anybody and everybody can read, mixed with some shameless self promotion. I mean that's why I started this little blog. To promote, advertise and grow my little business. Yet if all I talked about was my product and how wonderful I am, nobody would read it. Making it just a big waste of time. On the other hand, how personal do you get with something anybody can read? How much time and thought do you put into your posts each week, and how careful do you have to be about what you're saying/writing? I know 9 times out of 10 words don't convey the tone of voice they're written in and lead to misinterpretation, and hurt feelings.

I've spent a good amount of time deciding these exact things, and I've come to the conclusion that this blog is about me and my family. Yes there will be Bunny N' Goose things on here, because sewing is how I spend the majority of my 'nap time'. But this will essentially be about the goings on in our lives. I will share both the beautiful and the ugly.

Okay... now that that is out of the way how about a little bit of shameless self promotion?

This week I created these 2 custom beauties. I had already made one of the blue with moustashes for a large order, but when my MIL saw it she decided to purchase it for a baby shower, and I had to create another. The Animal print surprised me! I cannot get over how wonderful it turned out with the teal towel.

I think the reason I love sewing so much is because it's quiet time to myself. Mostly though it's quiet time with God and I find myself praying while I sew. I know it may be a little odd but I always find myself praying for the recipient of whatever it is I'm sewing. These towels were created for baby Kane, and baby Archer, and I like to think that even though I don't know them personally that every time they're wrapped in these towels all snugly and warm they're also wrapped all snugly and warm in prayer.

I make quilts/blankets for all my nieces and nephews, and it's very important to me that they all to have a special Auntie blanket. First because I want them to have a special token growing up of how much their Auntie loves them. Second, and most importantly because the many hours of sewing are really just a reminder to me of the many hours of prayer that they have been sent up on their behalf. Every piece is lovingly cut as they're growing, and, getting stronger. Every stitch is sewn as God is creating them fearfully and wonderfully to be the perfect addition to the family. Every prayer, every seam, is for that child, their mothers, and their families. After everything that happened during my pregnancy, I learned that prayer is the easiest, most important thing I can do for anybody. God can do anything, but we need to ask him for it, and TRUST that he will answer.

I've currently finished one quilt and have 2 possibly 3 more in the works. I will happily show them to you once they are finished and have been gifted. Until then I am proud to show you the quilt I created for Bunny.

Psalms 139: 18-18
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.  My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
