Fall is coming...


Not that you'd know it here in AZ. It's still around 100 degress F every day, but by this time next month you'll all be wishing you were here. All the way until beginning of May! Fall has never been my favorite season, but I do love it here because the weather gets so nice (again, in October...September is still a summer month). Leaves falling, crisp air, pumpkins, yada yada...not really interested. And fall colors, to me, are somewhat drab! Spring/summer are my favorite season, esp. spring here. This is why my new fall items in my shop aren't that fallish. They can be worn anytime, and that's how I like it. Kimberly Van Sistine photographed a few new items for me, and here's a sneak peak. It's a new pattern that I love, AND it goes up to a size 12! Yay! The fabrics are Meadowsweet 2 by Sandi Henderson...love them. Still bright but kind of seem like fall, too.

Recently we went to the children's museum in Phoenix. Love this place! They've added so many new things since we were there last! Odin's favorite was the noodle forest and the "fiders" (spiders). Went to my brother and sister's baptisms this past weekend...just me and Ally. She did well on the plane and it was an amazing, blessed weekend. I always forget how amazing testimonies are...until I go to them. It was so special to hear Madi and Andre's testimonies and to see them baptized, to know they will be in Heaven with me when they die. Ally had fun with the babysitter and another little girl from my parents' church in West Lafayette. I so wish we could go to Indiana, and the idea of living there is very appealing. I think we will probably stay in Phoenix, but you never know. We are praying for God's direction in where we should be and what we should be doing!
