Today is Ash Wednesday, a day that marks the beginning of Lent…the period of fasting, prayer, and service leading up to the holiest of holidays–Easter. The palms from last year’s Palm Sunday are burned to create this year’s ashes. Later, at a mass, our foreheads are marked with the ashes in the sign of aContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

Crafting Challenge 2013: For Miss April
The second person who responded to the Crafting Challenge invitation is a sweet friend named April. April is talented and genuine and a joy to be around. We’re friends from the church-circle. I thought it was fitting that her gift would be sent in February, a month in which we celebrate love. You see, AprilContinueContinue reading “Crafting Challenge 2013: For Miss April”
What I Wore Wednesday
So last Saturday I went to the the thrift store and TORE IT UP, man. Here’s what went down: I stopped at one store in the morning hours, looking for some supplies for the crafting challenge. I was also looking for a very specific workout video that my sister and I used to use atContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
What HE Wore Wednesday–John
This dashing gentleman is John. He is awesome. If I saw a shooting star right now I would wish that when I am his age I am a fraction of his awesome. John attends daily mass at the wee church where I attend daily mass, and he always looks dapper and sharp. He always wearsContinueContinue reading “What HE Wore Wednesday–John”
What I Wore Wednesday
One time I was at a church rummage sale. My family was still looking at other things, but I had already scanned the rooms of clothing. I was in the church-auditorium, which is where the dishes and the toys were stashed. There was a rack of cheap Halloween costumes, all the size of toddlers. But,ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
Thoughts on jumpers. Go.
Hey guys. When I asked about the exposed zipper dilemma of the Frankendress sewing of yore, I received excellent feedback. So, new question: thoughts on jumpers? I’m thinking about making one for an upcoming dance. Here’s the thing: I’ve been very hesitant in the past. Why? Because I was homeschooled. There’s a prejudice, I know,ContinueContinue reading “Thoughts on jumpers. Go.”
Crafting Challenge 2013. Numero Uno for Juli-YEAH!
Remember when I said that I wanted to make thirteen crafts in 2013 presented on the thirteenth of each month?? “I meant what I said. And I said what I meant. An elephant is faithful, one hundred percent!” That’s a quote from Dr. Suess’ Horton. And it’s my second time quoting it on the blog.ContinueContinue reading “Crafting Challenge 2013.

What SHE Wore Wednesday–Jessica
Jessica walked into my office today and it was like seeing a vision of a vintage Barbie. I, on the other hand, was dressed like a three-year-old with no concept of weather-appropriate clothing because when I ran this morning it was raining and so I wore rainboots to work. That doesn’t sound that bad, exceptContinueContinue reading “What SHE Wore Wednesday–Jessica”
More Franciscan fashion and commentary! (Franciscan “What I Wore Wednesday” continued!)
It needs to be known that I went to upload my pictures from retreat and was surprised to find this happy face staring at me. Apparently Brother Thomas found my camera and snapped this beauty before returning my camera to its rightful owner. Baha! ANYWAY. Yesterday I wrote about Franciscan fashion and our friend Fr.ContinueContinue reading “More Franciscan fashion and commentary! (Franciscan “What I Wore Wednesday” continued!)”

May I just sit here and share the cutest story ever? Thanks. Don’t mind if I do. Have you been wondering where I’ve been? Sorry I didn’t give a heads-up (irresponsible blog ownership) but I WAS ON RETREAT. And it was beautiful, amazing, inspiring, and refreshing. Yes yes yesity yes. Some of you have alreadyContinueContinue reading “What HE Wore Wednesday–Part I (Father Pio)”
