One Year Later

Cori | February 9, 2010

I’m amazed to think that we have been in Utah for one whole year now. I’m reminded of that old adage, “The days go by like weeks and the weeks go by like days.” I have yet to update you on the holidays in my life, but I can’t help but feel as though this [...]

Angel Tracks

Cori | December 12, 2009

This past week our AZ daughter, Nikaela, and her sweet family came for a visit. We had so much fun! One whole week of great adult conversation. One whole week of snuggling Grandbabies. One whole week of big breakfasts, visiting fun sights, watching movies and eating popcorn. What a wonderful Christmas Gift!
We were sad to [...]

Bel-a the Ball

Cori | November 20, 2009

Despite having a headache yesterday, I was able to finish my Granddaughter’s scarf and hat set. I love these colors! They seem very Arabela-like to me. Arabela (or Bela, Bels, or Bela-Bug, as she’s known by us) is quite the little imp. She is the happiest little thing! Unless she’s hungry. Do not let this [...]

Cori | November 18, 2009

Things have been a bit hectic at our house the last few weeks, but I am managing to keep up with most of my projects. Many of them are Christmas presents, so I’m hesitant to post them on my blog just yet. But I’m also working on little hat and scarf sets for my Grandchildren [...]

WebCam Love

Cori | September 3, 2009

So this morning I have been missing my grandchildren. What a delightful thing grandchildren are! There is an emotion and level of feeling that come into your life when you have children that just cannot be described; it is the same with grandchildren. Suddenly life has more meaning, each moment matters, and you realize that [...]

Sew Thankful

Cori | June 18, 2009

I love the ordinary, simple and everyday treasures of life.
Like my sewing machine. This little Kenmore is 20 years old this fall. I have never had it serviced or cleaned. I have read the manual through three or four times, but I still don’t understand all about tension or how to use the stretch [...]

Simple Blessings

Cori | October 9, 2008

It’s the little things that make life so worth it. Every now and then a big thing comes along and that makes it even more worth while; but day-to-day those small moments are what get me out of bed.
Nikaela has been coming over frequently this week to re-finish some furniture. Her condo-conversion doesn’t have quite [...]
