My family and I had a spectacular Christmas holiday with my husband's parents and grandmother. I have to say, it was so nice to not have to pack up the whole crew and travel. Once Flynn is with us and (God willing) the dairy goats, I don't think picking up and heading out of state … Continue reading Happy Holidays and other Updates
Cut-away Embroidery
Whilst cleaning out the garage, I found a treasure trove of cut-away embroidery made by one of the matriarchs of the family who built and established our estate. Long forgotten, I'm sure, I was in awe of the intricacy of the needlework and the delicate beauty of something as simple as a tablecloth. There were … Continue reading Cut-away Embroidery
Small Hole Repair
One of the maxims I picked up in becoming a tightwad was, Use it up, wear it out. Make it do, or do without. I put that in to practice today when I put on one of my favorite maternity sweaters (yes, I've been pregnant for so many consecutive years, I've got favorite maternity clothes) … Continue reading Small Hole Repair
New Items in the Wholly Holy Living Shop
I am remis in maintaining our Etsy shop. I have been distracted by so many things- life in general, 3rd trimester of pregnancy, winter homestead preparations, sick toddlers... Anyway... I have a couple new listings in the shop right now. Some are unique handmade crocheted Christmas stockings. In addition to the stockings in unusual colors, … Continue reading New Items in the Wholly Holy Living Shop
DIY Breastfeeding Shirts; Attempt and Review
**I followed the tutorial video posted by The Sustainable Mama with a little twist of my own preference** I noticed something today... I can't afford designer clothing. Well, I've never worn designer clothing to begin with, but that's because I've never been able to afford it. Not even in my life BC (Before Children). Not only that, … Continue reading DIY Breastfeeding Shirts; Attempt and Review
Sewing Project: Essential Oil Travel Holder
I'm always overwhelmed by the sheer volume of oils I think I need to take with me when I travel. Honestly, do I really need a dozen bottles of oil? Truthfully, probably not, so long as I take the big 4 (Tea Tree, Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint). But let's face it, I like to be … Continue reading Sewing Project: Essential Oil Travel Holder
Some More Quilting
Today I finished Baby Ian's quilt. He's due at the end of July, so I'm not sure he'll get a ton of use out of it before it cools down some, but my kiddos always liked being extra warm and snuggly regardless of the weather. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. I … Continue reading Some More Quilting
Mastering a Skill
My newest interest is quilting. I've been making a concentrated effort to learn and master new life-skills that will be beneficial to us on the homestead and that are being lost or dying within my millennial generation. I have enjoyed sewing since I was maybe 7 years old and my grandma gave me a small … Continue reading Mastering a Skill
Un-paper Towels
First let me start by saying this project is simple, it could be finished in a couple hours. But unfortunately, because of the demand placed on my attention by my two small children, it became infuriating and took over two days. Simple sewing machine troubleshooting took time I didn't have. Distractions aside, I'm really pleased … Continue reading Un-paper Towels
