Squishy Baby Ball

I've done it!!!  I have finished the squishy baby ball that I've been working on for my neice.  And, I've just found out that my sister-in-law is going to be having a baby girl in May (yeah!!).  Guess I'll have to make another one. The tutorial for this super-cute baby ball is over at Finding My Way. You know you want to make one.......or 12!

Oh, and guess what my husband has done for me?  Just look and see...

Isn't it beautiful?  I love, love, love, love it.  I'm still waiting for the drawer that goes in the top of that left-hand cabinet.  Oooo, I'm so excited.  A real space to escape when I'm taking a few minutes from mommy-duty.  Glorious! 

If you love the desk and want to build something similar, head on over to Ana White's site and grab the plans.  Type in CPU Base plans in the search box to get the plans for the two cabinets, then type in Corner Desktop plans to get the plans for the top.  My husband is no carpentar, yet look, it's awesome.  Her plans are wonderful.

Squishy Baby Ball

I just love the idea of these sewn squishy balls.  I'm in the process of making one for my neice who has just turned 1.  The picture and a tutorial on how to put it all together is here.  The one I'm making up is with pink and brown material.  Hopefully, I'll have it done soon and be able to post it.

The girls and I are having one of those cyclic cold virus days.  I think the little one got it from a cousin and then passed it to the big one and now to me.  Yeah......building the immunities.  Such fun.  However, it does give me an excuse to sit and craft and not do housework.  Cough, cough.....too sick for housework :).

Stepping Heavenward

If you have not picked up this book yet, may I suggest you do so at your earliest convenience.  You will most certaintly NOT be disappointed. I finished it just a week or so ago and will be reading it at least two or three times a year from now on (it is that good).  If you've wrestled with what it truly looks like to be Christ-like in character, to be wholly loving and giving, kind and self-sacrificing, while maintaining a peace and utter joy of a life for your Lord.....this book will show you one woman's journey to this elevated place.  There are so many treasures and godly wisdoms to be gleened, you can't possibly attain it in just one read.  What an awesome book for a group study this would be.

If you have read it, tell me what you think.
