the first little guy is from a cute little shop over at etsy called aicreatures. loooove the unique designs.

the second is just the cutest baby giraffe that has ever existed. i want him.

the third is from trafalgarssquare.  check out the etsy shop!

the final giraffe is one that a friend gave another friend at a baby shower i recently attended.  i almost bought it for myself, and i may have to order one :)

puzzle&jewel

so where did i get the name puzzle & jewel?  puzzle is a naive silly little donkey and jewel is a unicorn in the last book of the chronicles of narnia, the last battle.  i just love the series (as previously mentioned in this post) and i loved both characters and it makes a perfect name, perfect for my little sewing business and blog!  not the most interesting story behind the title, but maybe it will make you interested to read the book if you haven't already.  i'll post a picture of the adorable little puzzle mascot i found at a thrift store in a future post.

a godly woman

i love proverbs 31.  i know a lot of women find it to be degrading in some ways, or not relevant to today, but it is my favorite chapter of the bible.  one day i pray God will help me to become the proverbs 31 woman, a woman who fears the Lord and follows Jesus in every possible way.

vintage valentines

to narnia and the north!

i loooove c.s. lewis and the chronicles of narnia.  the biblical symbolism gives me goosebumps and its generally just an amazing series.  after re-reading the series again this year, i began to see this world every time i stepped outside.  about a month ago i went ice-fishing with a couple friends and my sister and we pretended we narrated our walk as if we were in the book.

i live in the most beautiful place in the world.. how many times can i say it? <3
