I have been in a very crafty mood this week. We’ll see how long it continues! The other day I ran across this tutorial on how to make a burlap wreath. I instantly fell in love and had to make it. So, off to Joann’s I went to gather supplies. Today I give you my burlap wreath! I really like it – it makes me smile. 🙂

Craft Projects for Baby
I have been working on some sewing projects this week for Levi and still have more up my sleeve! I am really into the applique on shirts – so cute! These are the two that I have gotten done so far.

Craigslist Find!
I just bought a Stanley dresser off Craigslist for $100! I love good finds. 🙂 It is perfect except for the color so we are going to refinish it. Stay tuned for pictures!

We are in!
Ambassador Presbyterian Church (Apex, NC) has officially moved into our new church building. The church has been meeting in public elementary schools for over 10 years and this past Sunday was the first service to be held in our very own church building. It is a beautiful building and we are all so excited to have a permenant location. But it is just a tool for us to spread the Gospel to our community. We pray that the Lord uses the building and us (the real church!) to His glory. I didn’t take a lot of pictures on Sunday. I …

Baby Kicks!
Baby Levi is starting to kick! This morning, I finally felt his kick from the outside. I was sitting with my arm resting on my belly and he totally made my arm move! So sweet. Now we just need Levi to cooperate so Daddy can feel him. 🙂
