This is the first year as a family we’ve done Christmas cards! Receiving them from others is always something I look forward to during the Holiday season. @artifactuprising is offering 20% off Holiday cards and more for the next two weeks with code THIMBLE20. So many beautiful details and customization options. The foil lettering and craft paper envelopes are something special. Warmest Holiday wishes to all of you! #sponsored #artifactuprising http://bit.ly/ThimblexAU

I had such a response to these baby doll slings that I’m opening them up to orders because they’d make the cutest little Christmas gift. An heirloom quality linen sling with wood rings for your Little’s beloved baby dolls. They’re available in 6 different patterns and in the dreamiest linen. Direct link in bio!

A very special tree we’ve been filling with handmade touches all week long. Hanging clay ornaments fresh out of the kiln, tying velvet ribbon into bows and we even wool felted that garland and made the tree skirt (both things I’ll show you how to do in my stores). I tied little red ribbons today for those dollhouse wreaths and I’m just gunna say, I really enjoy homemaking and how simple things are the special things.

Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

We’ve spent the whole week at home. That means the girls make messes faster than I can clean them but yet, it is so so wonderful to be here. I ask them what they want to do everyday and the answer is mostly, “stay home”, and that is my version of a compliment.

I remember with all the fears of expecting twins I said to my husband, “I’m worried I’ll be unhappy with the monotonous parts; the loading and unloading of two car seats, etc etc... and he said, “learn to enjoy the process of things”...of life, of trials, of a new skill, of the movement of our days, of adjusting to twins. It’s become a thoughtful practice for me since. While it may be dramatic to some, I try not to do two things at once anymore, ie. seeking entertainment like a podcast or a show while I sew or knit, instagramming while actively mothering or even music while exercising, as a way to distract from the actual doing. I’ve learned that the process is where the lesson is and I don’t want to miss that. it’s an easier practice in some areas than others which is why I’m always seeking it, and in consequence learning and growing, mostly about gratitude for the here and now, even in trials because what is now won’t always be. // and after 10 weeks I finished that knit sweater hanging there.
