It is with great joy that I have the blessing of announcing our good news to you:
our daughter is born!
Luke 2:10
…for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy…
Evangeline Joy was delivered safely to our arms by our kind Father of all mercies, on February 3rd 2013 at 5:11am. She is 6lbs and 19″ of loveliness.
Psalm 106:1
Praise the Lord!
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
Here are some of the ways my creative juices have been flowing in recent months and weeks.
Christmas gifts (I also made gifts for our nieces’ and nephews’ spring birthdays, but can’t show & tell those yet):
There were also Family Night in a Bag gifts, some themed gift basket type gifts, dry erase/chalkboard roll-ups/placemats, some photography and other artwork… but I didn’t take pictures of everything. Definitely had a good time crafting and sewing my way through the autumn months though!
Curtains for the kitchen area and master bedroom, which happened right before Christmas since I had no more gifts or holiday crafts to do:
What am I currently doing to create? Well, making a couple of things with Tiny Ten’s real name on them (arrow tag, metal stamped jewelry, baby spoon, and Christmas stocking), sewing some little things for the nursery (think pink!), stocking up the freezer with homecooked goods (I’ve got around twenty dinners in there right now so I should be able to give myself permission to take it easy after she’s born for a while; plus desserts, snacks, and bread to boot)…
And oh yeah… I guess I’m helping to make THIS too. 🙂 Only for a few more weeks though! She’s nearly here.
2 Corinthians 7:4
“I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful…”
With great joy, we wanted to share that we recently found out that God has been knitting together a perfectly healthy and whole baby girl in the depths of my womb. The Lord is good, and His mercies endure forever ~ please rejoice with us over His handiwork!
And while I’m not ready to divulge details or pictures or anything much pertaining to Tiny Ten… please know that YES, our Tiny Ten is growing and strong! The mercy of God in this is incredibly kind and beyond humbling!
